AD-1272 Advanced Thermal Dispersion Probe Airflow 
Measuring System

Technical Bulletin

Document Introduction

This document describes the AD-1272 Advanced Thermal Dispersion Probe Airflow Measuring System’s features 
and functions. It also provides guidelines and instructions for setting up and troubleshooting these devices used in 
plenum and duct applications.

Navigating the Start-Up Menu

After installing the AD-1272 Airflow Measuring System, power on the unit. Menu options appear on the front panel 
LCD display of the primary transmitter and are replicated on the Remote Display (see Figure 1). The LCD display 
has a 16-character per line, 2-line display. 

When the device is first powered on, the display boot screen indicates the firmware version.
