AVFM 6.1 Area-Velocity Flow Meter 

ENCLOSURE HEATER AND THERMOSTAT - Option TH 

 

Instruments can be factory-equipped with an Enclosure Heater and Thermostat or the module can be 
customer-installed. The Thermostat is factory set to turn ON at 40°F (4.5°C) and OFF at 60°F (15.5°C). 
Power consumption is 15 Watts. 

 

 
 
ENCLOSURE SUNSCREEN - Option SCR 

 

Do not mount instrument electronics in direct sunlight. Overheating will reduce the life of electronic 
components and condensate may form during the heat/cool cycles and cause electrical shorts.
