Setting-up
Supplying Power to the Model 5725
The Model 5725 V
ELOCI
C
ALC
Air Velocity Meter
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 Model 5725 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.
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.
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 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.
Connecting to a Computer
Use the Computer Interface USB Cable provided with the Model 5725 to
connect the instrument to a computer for downloading stored data or for
remote polling. Connect the end labeled “COMPUTER” to the computer
USB port and the other end to the data port of the Model 5725.
Then run the
LogDat2 downloading software. Within the LogDat2 software, either select
the tests to be downloaded or double-click on a test to open it.
