Setting-up

Supplying Power to the Model 9565 Series

The Model 9565 VelociCalc® Air Velocity Meter can be powered in
one of two ways: four size AA batteries or the AC adapter.

Installing the Batteries

Insert four AA batteries as indicated by the diagram located on
the inside of the battery compartment. The Model 9565 is
designed to operate with either alkaline or NiMH rechargeable
batteries. Battery life will be shorter if NiMH batteries are used. If
NiMH batteries are used the DIP switch will need to be changed.
Refer to the next section, DIP Switch Settings. Carbon-zinc
batteries are not recommended because of the danger of battery
acid leakage.

DIP Switch Settings

To access the DIP switch, remove the batteries from the battery
compartment. On the inside of the battery compartment, there is
a window with a single DIP switch (see figure below). The table
below shows the functions for the switch.

[e-mail]1.800.561.8187

DO NOT attempt to charge alkaline batteries.

AC Adapter input

Using the AC Adapter

The AC adapter can be used to power the instrument or to
charge the NiMH batteries when the DIP switch in the battery
compartment is set to NiMH. If the DIP switch is set to
Alkaline, and the AC power adapter is connected, then the
batteries will be bypassed and the meter will be powered by
the AC adapter. Be sure to provide the correct voltage and
frequency, which is marked on the back of the AC adapter.

N O T E

For temperature and humidity measurements, make sure that at
least 3 inches (7.5 cm) of the probe is in the flow to allow the
temperature and humidity sensors to be in the air stream.

“D” Shaped
mini-DIN connector

Connecting Ventilation or IAQ Probes

The ventilation and IAQ probes have a “D” shape overmolding on the
mini-DIN connector which must align with the connector at the base of
the 9565 series meter. This will ensure the probe is properly
connected and remains so during use. Once connected and turned
on, refer to the DISPLAY SETUP for displaying the desired
measurements.

Using the Telescoping Thermoanemometer Probes

The telescoping probe contains the velocity, temperature, and
humidity sensors. When using the probe, make sure the sensor
window is fully exposed and the orientation dimple is facing upstream.

Extending the Probe

To extend the probe, hold the handle in one hand while pulling on

the probe tip with the other hand. Do not hold the cable while

extending the probe as this prevents the probe from extending.

Retracting the Probe

To retract the probe, hold the handle in one hand while gently
pulling the probe cable until the smallest antenna section is
retracted.

DO NOT use the instrument or probes near hazardous
voltage sources since serious injury could result.

Negative (-) Pressure Port

Positive (+) Pressure Port

Using the Pressure Ports (9565-P)

The 9565-P includes pressure ports that can be used to measure
static and differential pressures in ductwork. For more information,
see Application Note TSI-107.

Connecting the Static Pressure Probe

The Static Pressure probe included with the 9565-P is connected
to the + port on the 9565-P using the included tubing. The Static
Pressure probe is used to measure the duct static pressure and
features a magnet which holds the probe to the ductwork.

N O T E

The pitot velocity needs a valid temperature to perform the
standard or actual velocity correction. This is accomplished
in the “Actual/Std Setup” menu. If no probe capable of
measuring temperature (plug in probe or thermocouple) is
connected, the“Temp Source” must be set to “Entered”. The
duct air temperature must then be manually inputted by the
user using the “Entered Temp” setting. If the “Temp Source”
is set to Probe or Thermocouple 1 or 2, and no probe is
connected, dashes (------) will appear on the display.

For more information on entering the temperature manually,
refer to the Actual/Standard Setup section of this manual.

Connecting an Optional Pitot Probe or Airflow (straight
pitot) Probe

When connected to a pitot probe, air velocity or air volume can be
measured. A pitot probe can be connected to the “+” and “-”
pressure ports on the Model 9565-P using two pieces of tubing of
equal length. The total pressure port of the pitot probe connects
to the “+” port on the meter, and the static pressure port of the
pitot probe connects to the “-” port on the meter.

For information on how to perform a duct traverse, refer to

Application Note TSI-106.

DO NOT use the instrument or probes near hazardous
voltage sources since serious injury could result.

Thermocouples from an alternate TSI supplier must have
the metal sheath electrically isolated from the wires
inside. Failure to meet this requirement may result in
false readings, electrical shock, or fire hazard.

DO NOT use the instrument or probes near hazardous
voltage sources since serious injury could result.

K-alloy Thermocouple

TC1

TC2

Thermocouple Ports

The 9565 series includes two thermocouple ports at the base of the
meter. Any K-Alloy thermocouple with mini-connector can be
attached. See Display Setup for setting the thermocouple
temperature readings to be displayed as TC1, TC2, or TC1-TC2.

Connecting the Thermocouples

The K-Alloy thermocouple with mini-connector has one terminal
wider than the other. The wider terminal will be inserted into the
bottom of the TC1 or TC2 connector port.
