MODE: INSTANT WIND SPEED WITH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
Choice of temperature measurement unit:
To select the temperature measurement units, the Xplorer must be in the instant
wind speed and temperature OR wind chill.
By keeping the button pressed down
for at least 2 seconds the units start to change . The units possible are °C (degrees
Celsius) and °F (degrees Fahrenheit) When the unit of your choice appears, release
the button and the unit of measurement is thereby selected .
Measuring ambient temperature:
Note: the temperature sensor is integrated with the metal back of the casing, and
therefore it is the temperature of the back of the casing which is displayed . This special feature makes
it possible to measure very accurately the temperatures such as:
water (springs, streams, etc .) by immersing the instrument several centimeters;
•
surfaces (ground, metal parts, refrigerator interiors etc) by laying as closely as possible the back
•
of the instrument on the surface to be measured;
ambient air, either by allowing the instrument to reach the air temperature, which can take
•
several minutes, or even several dozens of minutes according to the wind speed (avoid direct
sun rays and contact of the back of the casing with your fingers). Otherwise, to get a rapid and
precise measurement, but the back of the casing into contact with an object which is the same
temperature as the air (vehicle bodywork, metal barrier, smooth walls etc .) avoiding surfaces in
dark colors and exposed to sunlight) .
Display:
The display of the instant wind speed is done on the large digits while the ambient temperature is
displayed on the small digits .
Measuring cycle:
2 measurements per second with 0 .1°F/C resolution
Measuring range:
-58°F to 212°F (-50°C to 100°C)
Accuracy:
+/- 0 .5°F (0 .3°C)
