Thank you very much for purchasing
this Anemo-Psychrometer.
This unique meter design with 7 H.V.A.C
&R must parameters in 1. The meter
designed as battery operated for Humidity
,Air temp., Dew Point, Wet Bulb, Air
Velocity, Air Volume & BTU (8912).
The sensor is built in the remote fan and
is specially protected by tunable cap.
While in operation, please turn on the cap
to get accurate temperature and humidity
reading.
The psychrometer is a micro processor-
based design. A must device for HVAC
engineers use. No need to whirl the
meter or refer to the chart. Easy to get
wet bulb, dew point and BTU(8912)
quickly!

FAN REPLACEMENT
If users have more than one set anemo-
meters or users change a new fan for
his old meter, user should input the
RH% calibration data which enclosed
with each fan. The data will be recorded
in a slip of paper and ship with fan, please
keep the paper well for future use.
There are two calibration data need to
be inputted. First value is "Slope, S" and
the second value is "Intercept, Z"
Slope(value S)
1. While the meter is off, press
+ + at the same time for
2 seconds to enter humidity slope
calibration mode. LCD will display
current saved S value and the last
digit will flash to indicate the value
is ready for edit.
2. If the saved S value is different from
your paper, press key to move
to the digit which you want to edit
and then use key to change
the value.
3. Press key to save new input
S value and then meter will enter
second value input automatically.

Intercept (value Z)
1. While press key save the S
setting, the meter will enter intercept
input automatically. The last digit
will flash to indicate the Z value is
now ready for edit.
2. If the last saved Z value is different
from your paper, press key to
move to the digit which you want
to edit and then use key to
change the value.
3. Press key to save new input
Z value and then meter will be back
to normal RH value mode.
Important Note: While setting Z value,
only input 3 digits after decimal point, so
user need to round off the 4th digit.
Important Note: While setting the slope,
only input 5 digits after decimal point, so
user need to round off the 6th digit.
User should also input two digits before
decimal.
Example:
a. If the S value is 8.239678, user
should input 08 23968
b. If the S value is 11.23968, user
should input 11 23968
c. If the S value is 0.2396838, user
should input 00 23968 (Fig. S)
