Model VP2 Wireless 100 mm Vane Thermo-Anemometer Probe for UHH
Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions
he Model VP2 Wireless 100 mm Vane Thermo-Anemometer Probe measures
T
air velocity, air flow, humidity, and temperature when combined with the Model
UHH Universal Handheld. By having a larger diameter, the rotating vane is able to
measure velocities down to 50 fpm or 0.25 m/s. An arrow is molded into the vane
housing to depict the flow direction.

CHARGING BATTERY
NOTICE
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.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
It is required prior to the initial usage to charge the battery for
12 hours.

T
y continuously logging at a user defined sample rate. When the trigger is selected
b
o be a single point at a time, pressing the power button on the probe handle or the
t
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 manual trigger, the power button on the probe handle or the store button
n the base unit will start the logging, and the logging will end after a user selected
o
uration or when the power button on the probe handle or stop button on the
d
andheld is depressed. When the trigger is set for event, the user will select the
h
pper and lower limit of a range and select whether the logging should take place
u
while the measurements are within or outside of the range. The handheld can also
record up to 2 minutes before the event (pre-trigger) and up to 24 hours after the
event (post-trigger). If the measurements don’t match the trigger event, a minimum
lapsed data capture time can be set.

Battery Removal:
If the wireless probe needs to be returned to Dwyer Instruments, Inc. for
maintenance or repair, the rechargeable lithium ion battery needs to be removed
rior to shipping the unit. Before attempting to remove, the battery ensure the probe
p
as been powered down. To remove the battery, set the wireless probe face down
h
n a non-abrasive surface. There are four Phillips head screws that secure the two
o
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 VP2, no routine maintenance is required. The
Model VP2 is not field serviceable and should be returned if repair is needed. Field
repair should not be attempted and may void warranty.
