14 Getting Started
Precautions for Measurements
Air Velocity Measurement Precautions
The probe has its own directivity
characteristics. Make sure that the direction mark is facing into the airflow (for details of the directivity characteristics, refer to “Probe Directivity (Air Velocity) on P.31). If you are not sure of the airflow direction, slowly rotate the probe and select the point where you get the maximum velocity reading,
The probe compensates air velocity change due
to temperature change by using the air velocity sensor with the temperature compensation sensor. In order to obtain this compensation effect, it is required that both sensors are evenly exposed to the airflow under the same temperature conditions.
For measurements in an environment with rapid air temperature
changes, measure for at least 20 seconds and wait for the reading to stabilize before starting the actual measurement (i.e. the data will not be accurate until the probe has time to acclimate to the environment.).
Air Temperature Measurement Precautions
The response time for temperature measurement improves as the
air velocity increases. Wait for the reading to become stable before taking a measurement.
When no airflow is present, the air temperature reading may be
higher than the actual temperature due to the heat generated by the air velocity sensor. It is recommended that you SLOWLY wave the probe to create an environment with approx. 0.1m/s airflow to obtain accurate temperature readings.
Duct Shape / Size Input
Before measuring the volumetric flow rate, duct shape and size settings must be entered.
Duct Shape: There are two duct shapes – Rectangular and
Circular, which are indicated as
and at the lower right
corner of the LCD screen.
Size of Duct: For a rectangular duct, set the width (W) and height (H). For a circular duct, set the diameter (D). Size Range: Maximum dimension of a side: 2550mm Input Increment: Range of 0 to 1000mm: 1mm Range of 1000 to2550mm: 10mm *When inch is selected for the input unit, the maximum dimension will be 255 inch.
Input Increment: Range of 0 to 100inch: 0.1inch

Setting the Time Constant
When there is rapid change in the measurement data, the readings may become difficult to read. In such case, the speed of updating the readings can be reduced by changing the time constant setting.
Time Constant determines the time span of the moving average. When a larger (longer) time constant is selected, the readings will be rather stable, and when a smaller (shorter) time constant is selected, the readings will be more responsive and sensitive to the change.
The time constant can be selected from 1, 5, 10 or 20 seconds.
< Time Constant Setting Screen >
By pressing the key in a
measurement mode, the display
switches to the time constant setting
screen.
EXAMPLE: when setting the time constant to 20 seconds:

26 Cleaning the Probe
§ 7 Cleaning the Probe
When the sensor is contaminated with impurities such as dust, particles, soot or machine oil, the heat dissipation rate will change. In most cases, heat dissipation will decrease, resulting in lower air velocity readings. This is same for the probes which are equipped with a mesh cover. The same problem will occur if the mesh is deformed, or clogged with impurities. If impurities are attached to the sensor or the mesh from using the instrument in an unclean environment, it is recommended that the sensor is cleaned right after use.
Method of Cleaning
Clean the sensor of the probe in an ultrasonic cleaner for approx. 10-20 sec. Do not clean the sensor longer than required as excess cleaning will lead to sensor coating damage. Use water for cleaning. The sensor can also be cleaned in a vessel filled with neutral detergent diluted by water, and by gently stirring it in the vessel.

28 Measurement Principles

§ 9 Measurement Principles
Hot-wire Anemometer Principle When the heated air velocity sensor is exposed to airflow, the sensor
temperature will change by the heat drawn by the airflow. Accordingly, the sensor resistance value will change. This change in the resistance value will vary largely as the air velocity increases. Therefore, if the relationship between the air velocity and the resistance value is known, the air velocity can be obtained by measuring the resistance value (or current).
The Anemomaster anemometer is based on the above principle. Generally, a hot-wire anemometer employs a feedback circuit to control the sensor to maintain constant temperature. (Constant Temperature Type) When there is a change in the air velocity, the heat drawn from the sensor (heat dissipation) will change accordingly. In order to maintain constant temperature, current is applied to the sensor to compensate this change. Thus, the air velocity value can be obtained from the amount of the applied current (i).
The amount of heat [H] drawn from the air velocity sensor can be expressed by the following formula.
Where; H: Heat Dissipation
T: Sensor Temperature Ta: Air Temperature
U: Air velocity
a, b: Constant
The Heat Dissipation [H] can also be expressed by the following form sensor
resistance (R) and current (i).

(R is kept constant regardless of the air velocity change)
Thus: As shown by this formula, the change in the air velocity U can be interpreted as the change in the current i”.

- Temperature Compensation -
When the air temperature changes, the amount of heat dissipation will change accordingly even the air velocity is constant. Thus, Anemomaster employs a temperature compensation circuit to enable accurate air velocity measurement by eliminating the influence to the temperature change. For this purpose, a temperature measurement sensor Rc having the same temperature coefficient as the air velocity is provided at the opposite side of the bridge, and the bridge is adjusted so that the difference with the air temperature (T-Ta) is kept constant.
- Air Temperature Measurement -
An air temperature element (platinum resistor) which its resistance value changes by the air temperature is incorporate din on side of the bridge. The air temperature can be obtained by measuring the variance in the resistance value.

30 Air Velocity Compensation
§ 10 Air Velocity Compensation
When the heated air velocity sensor of the instrument is exposed to airflow, the heat is drawn from the sensor. The instrument obtains air velocity readings by using this relationship between the amount of heat removed (heat dissipation) and air velocity. Since the instrument is calibrated with clean airflow with normal temperature and pressure, when the condition of air to be measured is different is from that of the air used for calibration, the heat dissipation amount will differ even when the velocity is consistent (i.e. velocity reading is influenced by the condition of air).
Influence of Air Temperature
The instrument is a hot-wire anemometer, which measures the air velocity by using heat dissipation amount. Thus if temperature compensation is not provided, air velocity readings will be affected by the ambient air temperature change even the air velocity is consistent. In order to prevent such influence, the instrument is equipped with a temperature compensation circuit for measuring and compensating the air temperature in the range of 5°C to 60°C
Influence of Atmospheric Pressure
The instrument is calibrated under atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa. Since change in the atmospheric pressure will influence the heat dissipation amount, compensation of the atmospheric pressure is required. Compensation can be provided by using the following formula.
Uc
Pm
Um
1013
Where; Um: Actual Air Velocity [m/s]
Uc: Indicating Value Pm: Atmospheric Pressure at the Measuring Point [hPa]
Influence of Air Composition
Compensation if required if the measurement is to be performed in an environment including any gas other than air. Compensation shall be performed by calculating the heat dissipation amount from the physical properties of the gas, and comparing it with the heat dissipation amount of the air.
