8.  Press MIN/MAX again to return to
     the velocity reading you stored with 
     the HOLD button.

9.  Press ON/OFF RESET to clear the
     MIN/MAX average readings.

NOTE: At any time you can use 
MODE (SELECT) to switch from 
FPM velocity to CFM flow readings. 
Before switching, be sure the “Free 
Area” number matches the open square 
footage of the grill or duct you are 
measuring (see page 5 for “Setting 
Free Area Number”).

Multipoint FPM

     automatically to the “vel” display 
     ready for the
     next reading.

5.  Repeat steps 2-4 until you’ve 
     measured and recorded all desired
     points up to 8.
