Setting-up 

Supplying Power to the Alnor RVA501/Airflow Instruments

 

LCA501 

The Alnor RVA501/Airflow

 

LCA501

 

is powered with four size 

AA batteries. 

Installing the Batteries 

Insert four AA batteries as indicated by the diagram located on 

the inside of the battery compartment. The Alnor RVA501/Airflow

 

LCA501 is designed to operate with either alkaline or NiMH 

rechargeable batteries, although it will not recharge NiMH 

batteries. Battery life will be shorter if NiMH batteries are used. 

Carbon-zinc batteries are not recommended because of the 

danger of battery acid leakage. 

Attaching the Handle 

To attach the handle, screw the handle into the bottom of the 

rotating vane head until secure. Remove the handle after use to 

prevent damage to either the head or the handle. 

Using the Optional AC Adapter 

When using the AC adapter, the batteries (if installed) will be 

bypassed. Be sure to provide the correct voltage and frequency, 

which is marked on the back of the AC adapter. The AC adapter 

will not recharge the batteries. 

Using the Optional Articulating Extension 

The articulating extension allows you to secure the vane head at 

nearly any angle. Once you have attached the articulating 

extension, you can unscrew the swivel adjustment bolt, and 

adjust the angle of the elbow. You can then adjust the pivot 

position of the head by partially unscrewing the head from the 

handle and tightening it with the knurled knob, located 

underneath the vane head.
