The atmospheric pressure (Patm, this is the absolute pressure in the flow to be
measured) and temperature (T) of your airflow measurements should be set
manually. To measure actual speed, the temperature and absolute (barometric)
pressure of the air to be measured must be known.
Set the Range selector to Menu. The menu will cycle through various functions.
When
Set Patm & Temp
appears, rotate (any direction) the Range
control to select it. The menu will prompt,
Set Units Rotate
followed
by
kPa
alternating with
inHg @ 32F
. When the display shows the units
you want, rotate the Range selector (any direction or unit) to set in either metric or
imperial units. Depending on your selection, the screen will display
000.00
(metric) or
00.00
(imperial). The first digit will begin to blink. To increment this
digit press the Hold/Zero button. You can also keep the button pressed to advance
rapidly. If the displayed digit increments beyond 9, it will wrap around and continue
from 0. When the desired value for this digit is set, rotate the Range selector (any
direction or unit). The second digit will begin to blink. Use the Hold/Zero button to
set the desired value; similarly for the third digit, etc.
After setting the atmospheric pressure, the unit will prompt for the Temperature to
be set. After setting, the instrument will then return to measurement mode. Any
calculated speeds will then use the values you set for Patm and T. Patm and T are
stored in memory and will be retained after switching the unit off
Q: How Do I Check the Stored Values for K, Patm and T?
The values of these parameters can be checked in two ways:
1.
Before switching the unit on, set the Range selector to a speed unit.
On power up, the meter will show the stored speed and flow settings
(K, Patm and T) in both metric (kPa and
C) and imperial units (inHg
and
F). The unit can be cycled On/Off as needed.
2.
Set the Range selector to Menu. The menu will cycle through
various functions. When
View K, Patm & T
appears,
rotate (any direction) the Range control to select it. The unit will then
display the stored K factor, followed by Patm and T in metric units
(kPa and
C) followed by imperial units (inHg @ 32F and
F). After
displaying each unit set for approx. 2 seconds, the instrument will
return to measurement mode.
Q: How Do I Set K, Patm and T to Default (Standard Conditions)?
Set the Range selector to Menu. The menu will cycle through various functions.
When
Reset K, Patm, T
appears, rotate (any direction) the Range
control to select it. The menu will indicate that K, Patm and T have been reset to
default (i.e. standard conditions). Note that K is also reset to 1 (default).
