Caution
Always unplug the instrument from the electrical outlet when
the instrument is not in use.
Failure to do so may cause an electrical shock, fire or circuit damage.
Do not use the instrument in a water vapor atmosphere.
Condensed steam on the sensor will change the heat dissipation rate,
resulting in inaccurate measurements. It may also cause damage to
the sensor.
This instrument is designed to be used in an environment with
a clean air stream without any dust or foreign materials.
Foreign materials may cause damage to the sensor. Also dust or
foreign materials on the sensor will impede accurate measurements.
Do not apply force to the sensor.
If the sensor is deformed, the accuracy of the sensor may be
affected.
When measuring, ensure that the direction mark is facing into
the airflow.
Otherwise, the measurement may be inaccurate, as some sensors
(uni-directional probes) have a specific directivity.
Do not use or leave the instrument in a high temperature,
high humidity or dusty environment. Do not leave this
instrument under direct sunlight for a prolonged period.
The instrument may not function properly out of the specified

ASSMAN
Psychrometer, please
refer to Japanese
Industrial Standard
(JIS-Z8806 “Method
of measuring
Humidity), or its
Precautions for Measurements
Air Velocity
●MODEL6531/6541/6561: The probe has its own
directivity characteristics. Make sure that the
direction mark is facing into the airflow. If you
are not sure of the airflow direction, slowly rotate
the probe and select the point where you get the
maximum velocity reading.
●MODEL6533/6542/6543/6551/6552: This omnidirectional
probe has a horizontal, 360 degree dynamic characteristic
(Refer to “Directivity of the Probe” on P.57 for details).
●The probe relies on both an air velocity sensor and temperature
compensation sensor to accurately measure air velocity. In order
to do so, it is necessary that both sensors are evenly exposed to the
airflow under the same temperature conditions (Refer to the figures
of the probes on P.9 for the location of the sensors).
●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
●The faster the wind, the shorter the response time for temperature
measurements. The normal response time is approximately 30
seconds when the air velocity is 1 m/s (90% response). 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.
Humidity
●Humidity readings in an atmosphere with extremely high humidity
or rapid temperature changes may be higher than the actual
humidity due to condensation generated on the surface of the sensor.
If this occurs, allow the probe to dry in an atmosphere with 40%RH
humidity or less for 24 hours.
――Comparing with ASSMANN Psychrometer ――
The humidity measurement function of CLIMOMASTER is strictly
calibrated, traceable to Japanese National Standards carried by JEMIC
(Japan Electric Meters Inspection Corporation), and it assures you highly
accurate performance.
The electronic hygrometer, used in CLIMOMASTER, is known to be more
stable and has a shorter response time compared to conventional
ASSMAN Psychrometers. Also, the electronic hygrometer is not dependent
upon the measurement conditions, while an ASSMANN Psychrometer can
easily be influenced by many factors such as dust, condensation and the
way the gauze is wrapped.
Connect the pressure tube to the (+) or (-)
port as you see on the left.
Connect/insert the other end of the tube to the
measuring hole of the duct. If the pressure
that you are going to measure is positive,
connect the tube to (+) port. If it is negative,
connect the tube to (-) port.
Before measuring the volumetric flow rate, the duct shape and size
settings must be entered. Up to 25 different duct types can be

§ 5 Measurement of Air Flow FLOW RATE Mode
CLIMOMASTER features an accurate Flow Rate Mode which
corresponds to the industry measurement standards such as
ASHRAE.
SINGLE FLOW RATE Mode
This mode is useful for performing a measurement of the airflow of
duct (i.e. a duct traverse). Following the steps listed below, you
can program Climomaster with the following parameters:
Sampling Time: The instrument will take a sample at the end
of this entered sampling time. Example: if you setup a
sampling time of 10 seconds, Climomaster will wait 10
seconds and then take a measurement. If you are taking
multiple samples, it will wait 10 seconds between each one
before taking the next sample.
Number of Trials: this is the number of samples you wish to
collect from a single point in the traverse.
Number of Points: this is the total number of points in the
In single mode, the average, maximum and minimum values from
all points will be calculated. The instrument will record the average
from each point as well as providing a final average of all the points
in the traverse.
traverse.
POINT(1) POINT(2) ……………… POINT(M)
The value of each point is
recorded as the average of
TRIAL(1) to TRIAL(N). This value
(for each individual point) is stored
in the memory.
POINT(2): avg(2)=ΣTRIAL(N)/N
・・・
Average (AVG): AVG=(avg(1)+ avg(2)+ ・・・・+avg(M))/M
Maximum (MAX): MAX= Maximum value from avg(1) to avg(M).
To take an accurate measurement of the airflow of duct, you need to figure
out the average velocity of air inside the duct and the area of the cross
section of the duct.
MULTI FLOW RATE is very similar to the SINGLE FLOW RATE MODE,
except it adds an additional parameter for the number of locations.
This allows you to take several air flow measurements (i.e.
traverses) and get a total average, for example measuring flow rate
from multiple ducts to get an overall average.
The value of each point is the
average of TRIAL(1) to TRIAL(N).
The value of each location is the
average of POINT(1) to
POINT(M). The value of each
location will be stored in the
memory.

If the LCD display of the CLIMOMASTER is
too dark or too light, there is an
adjustment dial at the back, bottom of the
unit, inside the battery cover.
You can adjust the contrast by using a precision screwdriver (-)
(0.9 to 1.5mm).
Turn the dial clockwise to darken the LCD and counterclockwise
to lighten it.
Dust or particles attached to the velocity sensor would alter the
amount of heat diffusion, which leads to a less precise reading. Also,
deformation or clogging of the protective mesh around the sensor of
the probe would also affect the accuracy of the instrument.
Users are encouraged to clean the probe regularly to maintain the
accuracy of measurements.
Clean the sensor by soaking it in water in an ultrasonic cleaner for 10
to 20 seconds. Do not soak it for too long, since there is an
increased risk of damaging the coating.
Please use only water for cleaning the probe.
!CAUTION!
!) When cleaning, make sure that the power is turned OFF.
!) Make sure that the sensor is dry before turning it ON.
!) DO NOT let the humidity sensor come into contact with water
(MODEL6531/6533). When wet, let it air dry by placing it in an
environment with less than 40%RH for more than 24 hours.
!) NEVER USE alcohol or any other organic fluid.
Alcohol will cause permanent damage to the humidity sensor.
Once the sensor is damaged, it will need to be replaced even if it
seems to be functioning.

§ 13 Principle of Measurement
Principle of Hot-wire Anemometer
The principle of the thermal Probe is
based on a heated element from which
heat is extracted by the colder impact
flow. The temperature is kept
constant via a regulating switch. The
controlling current is directly
proportional to the velocity. When
thermal velocity Probes are used in
turbulent flows, the measured result is
influenced by the flows impacting the
heated body from all directions.
In turbulent flows, a thermal velocity sensor indicates
higher measured values than a vane Probe. This can be
observed during measurements in ducts. Depending on
the design of the duct, turbulent flows can occur even at
low velocities. The amount of heat that is extracted by
the colder impact flow from the sensor can be expressed
by:
Where H: Heat diffusion quantity T: Temperature of
the sensor Ta: Air temperature U: Air velocity
a, b: Constant
Also, heat diffusion quantity can be expressed by the
formula:
Where R is resistance and I is current
(R is kept constant regardless of air velocity since the
temperature in constant).
Therefore,
The Temperature Compensation
The air velocity sonsor is heated to an elevated temperature
relative to the surrounding air by means of control
electronics. The temperature compensation sensor senses
the ambient, or surrounding air temperature and forces the
velocity sensor to stay at a constant overheat above the
ambient. The circuit forces the voltage to be equal by
means of an operational amplifier. Air flowing past the
sensor tends to cool the sensor, thus driving down its
resistance. The amplifier responds by immediately
delivering more power to the circuit to maintain voltage
equilibrium. Delivered power is converted into an
electrical signal to display.
(MODEL 6531/6541/6542/6533/6543/6561)
The coefficient of resistance of the temperature sensor has a
direct proportional relationship with the temperature. We can
measure the wind temperature by adjusting the sensor’s
temperature to the wind-temperature, and measuring its
coefficient of resistance.
Measurement of Humidity (Hygrometer)
(MODEL6531/6533)
The sensor is a pair of condensers and its
electro-capacity is dependent upon the amount of
water contained in its hydrophilic macromolecule
(humidity sensitive) membrane.
The components of the sensors are a glass
foundation; a lower electrode; a macromolecule
membrane and an upper electrode.
The upper electrode will capture the change in
permittivity caused by condensation or
evaporation of water vapors to the macromolecule
membrane. (Electrostatic Capacity Type)
There is another type of hygrometer that uses a resistor instead of a condenser.
Typically Electrostatic Capacity types are good for low humidity measurements and the
resistor types are good for high humidity measurements.
Theory of detecting static pressure (MODEL6501-B0/6501-C0)
To measure static pressure, we use a diffusion-type semiconductor pressure sensor.
The diffusion-type semiconductor pressure sensor is incorporated under the principle
that the resonant frequency of a piezo-crystal decreases linearly with the pressure
applied. On a thin diaphragm of silicon, there are four diffusion resistors (sensor chips)
placed in a fixed distant apart. (Pic.1)
When the pressure is applied from above, the diaphragm will deflect downward. When
it is deflected, the sensors near the center (R3 and R4) will have compressing stress and
the sensors near the perimeter (R1 and R2) will have tensile stress instead. (Pic.2) The
diffusion coefficient of the diffusion resistor changes according to these two stresses.
If we create a bridge among these diffusion resistors (Pic.3), it is possible to detect
voltage that is proportional to the amount of pressure applied. These sensors can be
affected by the temperature, and therefore, a temperature compensation circuit must be
added.
What are Discomfort Index (DI) and Dew Point Temperature
(DT)?
**What is DI and DT?**
● Discomfort Index (DI)
Discomfort Index is an index to show how uncomfortable it is in the summer
time.
CLIMOMASTER use the formula, shown below, which is used by
Meteorological Agencies.
DI Scale
68 70 75 80 86
● There are many formulas to calculate Dew Point Temperature,
but for A531, we have adopted the most general “Antnione” formula,
which is used to calculate saturated vapor pressure.
This instrument has been calibrated at normal temperature and
pressure. Therefore, if you are going to measure velocity at a
different temperature and pressure, the indicating value will be
affected.
Influence of Measuring Temperature
This instrument has been calibrated at normal temperature.
Because of theoretical fundamentals of hot-wire anemometers, it
can easily be effected by the ambient temperature. To prevent
such influence, temperature compensation is needed. The
temperature compensation sensor senses the ambient, or
surrounding air temperature and forces the velocity sensor to stay
at a constant overheat above the ambient temperature. By
adopting temperature compensation sensors, you can measure air
velocity accurately within a range of 5~60
Influence of Pressure at Measuring Point
The instrument is calibrated under atmospheric pressure of 1013
