Section 1 - Package Inspection

Remove the packing list and verify that you have received all your equipment. If
you have any questions about the shipment, please call our Customer Service
Department at 1-800-622-2378 or 203-359-1660. We can also be reached on the
Internet at omega.com, e-mail: [e-mail]. When you receive the
shipment, inspect the container and equipment for any signs of damage. Note
any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately report any damage to
the shipping agent.

The carrier will not honor any damage claims unless all shipping material is
saved for inspection. After examining and removing contents, save packing
material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.

CAUTION & SAFETY INFORMATION

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

The installation category is one (I).

The output terminals of this product are for use with equipments (Digital
meters, chart recorders, etc.) which have no accessible live parts. Such
equipment should comply with all the applicable safety requirements.

Avoid contact with Hazardous live parts.

Do not operate the equipment in flammable or explosive environments.

The equipment comes with a 4.6 m (15') shielded multi-conductor power/
output cable. This cable is an ten conductor 26 AWG stranded wire cable with
rating of 300 Vdc, 105ºC (221ºF) PVC insulation. It also comes with a 2m (6')
shielded USB + Four conductor cable.

Power must be disconnected before making any electrical connections.

The supply voltage to the equipment should not exceed 24 Vdc.

The recommended power supply should be VDE or UL approved. Rating of 15
to 24 Vdc @ 150 mA minimum power with overload protection, current limited
to 500 mA.

There is no user replaceable fuse in this product.

The FMA1000 series passed all the EMC standards (EN61326 Emissions &
EN61000 immunity) under normal mode of operation using the power/output
cable provided and an external DC power supply.

Section 2 - Introduction

The FMA1000 series industrial air velocity/temperature transmitter/indicator
measures and displays air velocity mass flow and air temperature of clean air
flows in ducts & pipes, while producing very little pressure drop in the flow
stream. The FMA1000 series can be used in research & development labs, HVAC
applications, and other manufacturing processes. The sensor design is based on
three RTD elements, one measures the air temperature and the other two
measure the air velocity. The air velocity is measured based on the heat loss from
the RTD velocity sensor as it cools down by the air flow.

The FMA1000 series offers many standard features such as dual display of air
velocity & temperature, two analog outputs corresponding to air velocity &
temperature, high & low voltage alarm outputs for air velocity, USB PC interface
with a Windows based PC interface software. The FMA1000 displays the air
velocity in feet per minute (FPM), meter per second (m/s), miles per hour (MPH),
and kilometer per hour (Km/h). The air temperature is displayed in ºF & ºC.

The sensor probe is 12" long as standard. The 304 Stainless steel sensor tubing is
provided with inch marks for ease of insertion depths. The sensor probe comes
in four different versions as follows:
