<How to Change Response (Only for air velocity measurement mode)>
Every time you slide the switch downward, the response time will be switched over; 1 sec
(FAST) or 5 sec (SLOW). (If you are using MODEL A004, Air Temperature Measurement
mode is added between 1 sec and 5sec.)
Once you turn the power OFF, it will return to the initial setting of one second (FAST).
If the fluctuation in a measurement value is relatively big, select “SLOW” to make the reading
easier.
<How to Measure Air Temperature (MODEL A004)>
After you turn the power ON, slide the switch downward twice to select the Air Temperature
mode.
Do not perform a measurement right after you switch to the Air Temperature mode. Especially
where there is hardly wind (air velocity is 0.1m/s or lower), make sure to wait for at least 30
seconds before starting a measurement.

5. Battery Level Indicator
Remaining battery level is indicated as follows.
The operation is guaranteed when the battery voltage is more than 4V.
When the battery voltage level becomes less than 4V, the display starts blinking. After a while,
the power goes off automatically.
When using Ni-Cd battery, charge the battery earlier (before the remaining battery level
indicator indicates 4.3 ~4.0V).
6. Changing unit
You can change the unit used in the
value by DIP switch.
The DIP switch is located inside the
battery compartment.

Air temperature, humidity and pressure may influence the accuracy of air velocity.
<Influence by air temperature>
This is a Thermal (Hot-Wire) Anemometer which measures air velocity based on the heat diffusion
quantity. Therefore, if you do not correct the value based on the surrounding environment, the
instrument reading will vary depending on the air temperature. Although the actual velocities are
the same, the reading may not be the same depending on the air temperature because the air
temperature changes the heat diffusion quantity. In order to prevent this, temperature compensation
circuit is installed to measure air temperature to compensate the air velocity value to make sure that
the air temperature does not influence the air velocity value in the range of 10 ~ 40 ˚C.
<Influence by humidity>
Since air velocity sensor is normally heated to 40 ~ 50 ˚C above the ambient temperature, it is not
influenced by relative humidity.
<Influence by atmospheric pressure>
Change of pressure influences heat radiation. Calibration of atmospheric pressure is as follows.
Um: True air velocity ［m/s］
Uc: Indicated air velocity ［m/s］
Pm: Pressure at measuring ［hPa］
