INTRODUCTION
The DAFM3B Anemometer/Psychrometer is designed with 6 HVAC/R
parameters in one instrument. These are included in a portable, batteryoperated instrument for measuring humidity, air temperature, dew point,
wet bulb, air velocity and air volume. The vane probe includes
sensors for velocity, temperature and humidity.
FEATURES
• Measures Air Velocity, Temperature, and Relative Humidity (RH%)
• Calculates Wet-bulb temperature, dew point, and air volume
(CFM, CMM)
• 3” diameter air vane
• Timed accumulative average for air volume with one hour maximum
• Min/Max and Hold
• English/Metric Scales
• Fast response
• Auto-power off (can be disabled)
• Low battery indicator
INCLUDED
• DAFM3B Meter
• Air vane probe
• Battery (1 x 9V)
• User manual
• Hard carrying case
SAFETY NOTES

1. On/Off (Setup): Press briefly to power meter on. Press and hold
to turn the meter off.
• Note: When the meter is OFF, press more than two seconds
to enter SETUP mode.
2. HOLD: Freezes display reading for current parameter
3. MODE: Press to scroll through available measurements of
velocity, air flow, ambient temperature, relative humidity,
wet-bulb temperature, and dew point temperature.
4. EXIT: Use to exit setup.
• Note: Press and hold to exit timed average display
5. START/STOP: Press to begin air volume timed average. Press a
second time to pause timed average.
6. LW-D-AREA: Press when setting up area for calculation of air
volume. Pressing repeatedly scrolls through the three options.
(LW-Length/Width, D-Diameter, A – Area)
7. MIN/MAX AVG ( ): Press to display minimum or maximum
values for any measurement. Press when in timed average air
volume to display average, minimum or maximum air volume.
