IR SPEED PROBES
The following probes/modules can be connected to the instrument:
•
AP471S...
:
hot-wire air speed
SICRAM probes.
•
AP472S...
:
vane air speed SICRAM probes.
•
AP473S...
: SICRAM modules for Pitot tubes.
Some probes measure air temperature as well.
The selection of the type of probe to be used depends on the range of air speed and tempera-
ture to be measured: see the specifications of air speed probes at page 129.
Air speed can be displayed in the following measurement units: m/s, km/h, ft/min, mph, knot.
See paragraph 3.2 at page 13 for the measurement unit selection.

RATE MEASUREMENT
If an air speed probe is connected, the instrument can calculate the air flow rate of an air duct
or air vent orthogonal to the flow. For the calculation of the air flow rate, you need to configure
the value of the duct or air vent section as described in paragraph 9.4 at page 76.
The air flow rate can be displayed in the following measurement units: l/s, m

Note
:
in air flow measurements, use only one anemometric probe at a time
, since only
one section is available for setting. There are no limitations instead to the simultaneous use of
several anemometric probes for air speed measures.

OTES ON FLOW MEASUREMENTS
If the surface area of the considered measurement is large or there is air turbulence, e.g. in
front of a grid or a diffuser, air speed and air flow may vary both geographically (from one
point to another) and over time (in the same point but in subsequent moments). To obtain
most significant values, it is therefore advisable to average the acquired instant measure-
ments. The instrument provides two methods for the calculation of the measured average
flow:
1)
Use of the
RECORD
function: the function allows averaging of the acquired instant val-
ues starting from the moment of the function activation. Additionally, the function pro-
vides the minimum and maximum acquired values. See chapter 5 for the RECORD func-
tion use.
2)
Use of
moving average
: the function allows displaying the average of the last
n
in-
stant measurements - instead of the instant measurement – where n can be set from 1
to 100. See paragraph 9.5 at page 78 for the setting of the parameter n (
FLOW AVG.
TIME
).
The presence of vent grills or diffusers with tilting flaps produces errors in the flow measurement
due to the generated turbulence, since part of the flow is slowed down by the obstacle repre-
