Vane Thermo-Anemometer Datalogger
Model 451126
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of Extech's Thermo-Anemometer Datalogger. This
Vane-type Anemometer can indicate Air Velocity in five units of measure: Feet per minute,
Meters per second, Miles per hour, Kilometers per hour, and Knots with Temperature
displayed in
datalogger can record up to 2000 readings and the RS-232 interface provides PC data
transfer capability.
