Model AP2 Wireless Thermo-Anemometer Probe for UHH

Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions

The Model AP2 Wireless Thermo-Anemometer Probe measures air velocity, air

low, and temperature when combined with the Model UHH Universal Handheld. In

f

rder to prevent damage to the sensing element, the probe has a protective sleeve

o

hat slides over the sensor when it is not in use. Markings on the probe allow users

t
to know the insertion depth to obtain better accuracy when traversing the duct.

Wireless probes can take measurements up to 50 feet away from the UHH. A bi­color LED flashes on the handle of the probe to indicate communication status with
the UHH. The battery is rechargeable via the mini-USB connector on the bottom of
the probe.

NOTICE

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS

standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference. and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Cet appareil est conforme à des règlements d'Industrie Canada exempts de licence
standard RSS (s). Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) Ce dispositif ne doit pas causer d'interférences nuisibles, et (2) cet appareil doit
accepter toute interférence reçue, y compris les interférences pouvant entraîner un
fonctionnement indésirable.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numériqué de la classe B est conformé à la norme NMB-003 du
Canada.

CHARGING BATTERY

NOTICE

It is required prior to the initial usage to charge the battery for

12 hours.

When the charge of the battery is almost used up, the LED on the handle of the
wireless probe will turn solid red. There is approximately 5 minutes of battery life
left at this point. If the probe is not already paired to the UHH, it will not pair while
in low battery condition.

Step 1: Open the USB cover on the bottom of the probe handle.
Step 2: Plug the mini-USB connector end of the cable into the probe handle.
Step 3: Plug the USB connector end of the cable into the port on the charger or
PC.
Step 4: Plug the charger into either an electrical outlet or car charging port (LED
on the charger and the handle should both light up).
Step 5: The LED on the handle will turn off when fully charged.
Step 6: Remove charger from electrical outlet.
Step 7: Remove USB connectors from the handle and the charger.
Step 8: Replace the USB cover on the bottom of the probe handle.

c
a single point at a time, pressing the power button on the probe handle or the store
button on the handheld will store a reading into the currently open file until the user
creates a new file. If there is not a file open, the handheld will ask to create one. For

anual trigger, the power button on the probe handle or the store button on the base

m

nit will start the logging, and the logging will end after a user selected duration or

u

hen the power button on the probe handle or stop button on the handheld is

ntended Use: Industrial/commercial HVAC

I
Antenna Connection: Internal only, non-tunable

Battery Removal:

If, for some reason, the wireless probe needs to be returned to Dwyer Instruments,

nc. for maintenance or repair, the rechargeable lithium ion battery needs to be

I

emoved prior to shipping the unit. Before attempting to remove the battery ensure the

r

robe has been powered down. To remove the battery, set the wireless probe face

p
down on a non-abrasive surface. There are four Phillips head screws that secure the
two halves of the handle together. Two are located under the serial number label at
the top of the probe and two are located at the bottom of the unit. When lifting the
ends of the serial label to access the screws be careful to not damage the label such
that the serial number cannot be read. Remove the four screws with a suitable Phillips
screw driver and set aside the back half of the housing. Remove the battery by
grasping the black plastic connector on the battery wire harness and pull straight out
while securing the black plastic connector on the circuit board with the other hand. Be
careful to not puncture the battery as this may cause a fire. Remove the battery and
set aside. Securely replace the four screws to hold the handle of the probe together.
The unit may now be packaged for shipping back to Dwyer Instruments, Inc.

MAINTENANCE/REPAIR

Upon final installation of the Model AP2, no routine maintenance is required. The
Model AP2 is not field serviceable and should be returned if repair is needed. Field
repair should not be attempted and may void warranty.

WARRANTY/RETURN

Refer to “Terms and Conditions of Sales” in our catalog and on our website. Contact
customer service to receive a Return Goods Authorization number before shipping the
product back for repair. Be sure to include a brief description of the problem, plus any
