RVM 160 Handheld Anemometer
6
The battery elements are not inserted when the device is shipped. To insert the four R6 type
(AA size) elements, the lid of the handle must be unscrewed and the plastic battery
compartment pulled out of the handle. Batteries must be oriented so that the negative (-)
poles touch the springs in the battery compartment. After inserting the batteries, return the
battery box in the handle, and close the lid.
New batteries are able to drive the instrument for approximately 60 hours of continuous use.
When the battery voltage falls to the approximately 3 V, the wind-speed section of the
instrument ceases to work (showing constantly 00.0 on the display). This indicates that the
batteries should be replaced.
The use of the sealed, long-life alkaline batteries is strongly recommended.
4. MAINTENANCE
When not in use, anemometer should be kept in the carrying case.
In order to avoid any chemical damage to the device the batteries must be removed from it
when RVM 160 will not be used for more than a week. Care should be taken not to
mechanically damage the instrument by dropping it to the ground or handling it without care.
Different weather conditions at normal use can not damage the instrument; however, it should
not be put into water or stored for longer time in a place with the high relative humidity.
RVM 160 should be cleaned by a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution.
