1.2. Instrument Components
1.3. Instrument Functions
The Model 1227 measures air speed from 0.25 to 35m/s, as well as volume flow from 0 to 99.999m3/h. It also
measures temperature from 14 to 140°F (-10 to 60°C).
This instrument is easy to use. It has extensive stand-alone capabilities and can:
 Display temperature measurements in °C or °F
 Display air speeds in m/s and km/h or in fpm and mph
 Display volume flows in m3/s, m3/h, l/s, or CFM
 Record minimum, average, and maximum measurements in a specified period
 Record minimum, average, and maximum measurements for a location
 Record measurements and store them in memory
 Communicate with a computer via Bluetooth®or USB cable
DataView with the Data Logger Control Panel software can be installed on a computer to allow you to configure
the instrument, view measurements in real time, download data from the instrument, and create reports.
