Meter Functions
Meter Power
• Three (3) 1.5V ‘AAA’ batteries power the meter. The battery compartment is located on the
rear of the meter secured by one flat head screw.
• Short press the power button to switch the meter ON. The meter will begin displaying
readings for the mode selected.
• Long press the power button to power OFF the meter.
Auto Power OFF (APO)
In order to conserve battery life, the meter will automatically switch off after approximately 10
minutes of inactivity. Note that APO does not function while the meter is in the MAX-MIN
Recording mode (short press the R button to access the MAX-MIN Recording mode).
Selecting the Operating Mode
Long press the M (Mode) button to scroll through the list of functions. When the desired mode
is displayed, release the button. See display icons with brief descriptions below:
• An Anemometer (Air Velocity plus Air temperature)
• AirFL Air flow (Volume) in CFM and CMM units
• CHiLL Wind chill temperature
• rH Relative Humidity in % and Air temperature
• dP Dew point temperature
• _Et Wet bulb temperature
• HEAt Heat index temperature
• LigHt Light intensity measurements
• tYPE Type K thermocouple temperature (must attach thermocouple to meter)
Changing the Units of Measure
1. Press and hold the R button until the word ‘Unit’ appears.
2. Now short press the power button to change the units for the selected measurement
mode.
3. Short press
(temperature, for example). Short press the power button to change the secondary
function units, if applicable, and then short press
4. See units list below:
Air Velocity units M/S, km/h, mph, knot, FPM
Air Flow units CFM (ft
Temperature units
Light units Foot-candles, LUX
to save the selection and move to the secondary function, if applicable
to save.

Reversible Backlight LCD
The LCD display automatically reverses its presentation orientation depending on measurement
mode. This is to match the display orientation with the selected sensor mode (light, air velocity,
or environmental measurements such as Wet bulb temperature).
The LCD is equipped with backlighting for easier viewing, especially in dimly lit areas. With the
meter powered ON, short press the power button to turn ON the backlight. The backlight will
power OFF after several seconds.
Display Hold
Short press the H (Hold) button to freeze and unfreeze the displayed reading. The Display Hold
mode is not operational when using the MAX-MIN Recording mode.
MAX-MIN Record Mode
In this mode, the meter records the maximum and minimum readings over time.
• Short press the R (Record) button to start recording MAX/MIN readings.
• Now use short presses of the R button to toggle MAX and MIN reading displays.
• Short press the H button to reset MAX and MIN memories.
• Press and hold the R button to exit the Recording mode.
Measurement Modes
Air Velocity with Air temperature
• With the meter ON, press and hold the M (Mode) button until ‘An’ is displayed; then release
the button.
• Hold the measurement vane in the air stream (in either direction).
• View the air velocity and air temperature readings on the LCD.
Light Measurements
• Press and hold the M button until ‘LigHt’ is displayed; then release.
• Hold the meter so that the source of light fully encompasses the light sensor dome.
• View the light reading on the LCD (light readings are displayed in reverse orientation).
Type K/Wind chill/Relative Humidity/Dew point/Wet bulb/Heat index
Measurements
• Press and hold the M button until the desired function is displayed:
• CHiLL Wind chill; rH Relative Humidity (with air temperature); dP Dew point; _Et Wet bulb;
HEAt Heat index; tYPE Type K thermocouple temperature (attach thermocouple to meter)
• Place the meter or type K probe in the measurement area and view the readings on the LCD.

Air Flow (CFM, CMM) Volume Measurements
Width (W)
Height (H)
Area (A) = Width (W) x Height (H)
Radius (r)
• Press and hold the M button until ‘AirFl’ appears.
• Enter the duct area (in square feet or meters) by short pressing M and long pressing R until
‘m-2’ (m2) or ‘f-2’ (ft2) appears. Short press the power button to increase or H to decrease
the area; Long press the power or H button to scroll quickly. See area equations below.
• Short press to save.
• Remember to convert inches, centimeters, or other unit to square feet or square meters
before entering the area; otherwise, the air flow readings will not be correct.
• Place the vane in the air duct and read the air flow reading in CFM (ft

Maintenance
Battery Replacement
When the low battery icon appears on the display please replace the batteries as described
below.
1. Remove power from the meter.
2. Remove the flat head screw that secures the battery compartment at the back of the
meter.
3. Open the battery compartment and replace the three (3) 1.5V ‘AAA’ batteries observing
correct polarity. Re-assemble the meter before use.
Safety: Please dispose of batteries responsibly; never dispose of batteries in a fire, batteries may
explode or leak. If the meter is not to be used for 60 days or more, remove the batteries and store
separately.
Never dispose of used batteries or rechargeable batteries in household waste.
As consumers, users are legally required to take used batteries to appropriate
collection sites, the retail store where the batteries were purchased, or wherever
batteries are sold.
Disposal: Do not dispose of this instrument in household waste. The user is obligated
to take end-of-life devices to a designated collection point for the disposal of electrical
and electronic equipment.
Cleaning and Storage
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not use abrasives or
solvents. Do not allow moisture to come in contact with any of the sensors.
