Air Flow Measurements (CMM / CFM) 

1. 

Turn on the meter using the       ON/OFF button 

2. Press 

the 

UNITS

 button to select the desired air flow 

units: CMM (cubic meters per minute) or CFM (cubic 
feet per minute). 

NOTE:

 At power up the meter will 

display the last unit of measure previously entered. 

3. 

To begin entering the area in m

2

 or ft

2

, press and 

hold the 

AREA

 button until it beeps twice. The 

leftmost digit of the bottom display will begin to flash. 

4. Use 

the 

 (UP) button to change the flashing digit 

Use the 

 (LEFT) button to move the decimal  

Use 

 (RIGHT) button to select the other digits.  

After all of the digits are entered, press and hold the 

AREA

 button (until meter beeps twice) to save the 

area into memory and return to CFM or CMM 
measuring mode. 

5. 

Place the sensor in the air stream. Ensure that the air enters the vane as indicated by 
the arrow sticker placed inside the vane. Refer to the diagram. The large main LCD 
display shows the Air Velocity reading. The upper right LCD sub-display shows the 
temperature reading. 

The meter has 16 memory locations (8 for CFM and 8 for CMM) that can be used to store 
commonly used area sizes that you can recall at anytime.  

1. Press 

the 

AREA

 button until meter beeps twice. A memory location number will 

appear in the top right of the display indicating the memory location. 

2. Push 

the 

AREA

 button to scroll thru and select the desired location. Once you have 

selected the desired memory location enter your dimension 
Use the 

 (UP) button to change the flashing digit 

Use the 

 (LEFT) button to move the decimal  

Use 

 (RIGHT) button to select the other digits. After all of the digits are entered, 

press and hold the 

AREA

 button (until it beeps twice) to save the area into memory 

and return to CFM or CMM measuring mode.  

To select and use a previously stored dimension, press and hold the 

AREA

 button until it 

beeps twice. 

Press 

AREA 

to scroll thru the 8 memory locations. Press and hold the 

AREA

 button until it 

beeps twice to return to the CFM or CMM.measuring mode. 

Air Flow Measurements (Up to 20 Point averaging) 

1.  To enter 20 Point Averaging Mode, press and hold the 

AVG

 button until it beeps twice. 

The 

AVG

 icon will be displayed. 

2.  Take a measurement and press the 

AVG

 button. A single beep will sound and the 

HOLD

 icon will appear in the display. 

3.  The average reading will be displayed and number of readings measured will appear in 

the upper right hand corner of the display. After 5 seconds, the display will return to the 
current reading. (IMPORTANT: Please note that the average readings are only held for 
5 seconds and cannot be recalled.) 

4.  Repeat steps 2 - 3 until all desired points have been measured. 
5. Press 

the 

AREA

 button to clear the multipoint averaging memory. 

6.  To return to standard airflow measuring mode press and hold 

AVG

 button until meter 

beeps twice.
