4. OPERATION
Proper operation of this adaptor requires the use of a multimeter with a DC voltage
function with mV resolution and an input impedance > 10MΩ.
1. Insert the output banana plugs into the VOLTS (HI) and COM jacks of the multimeter.
2. On the multimeter, select the DC 200mV range. Select the next higher range if this
range is not available. If the meter is autoranging,
manually lock the proper range.
3. Set the adaptor function switch to the desired units.
4. Turn the adaptor on via the POWER switch.
5. For maximum accuracy, the airflow must enter the
vane on the side without the yellow dot (see diagram).
6. The multimeter directly indicates the air speed. Note
the examples in the table below:
Range Typical display Multiply by Air Velocity
Meters/sec 11.93 mV x 1 11.93 m/sec
kilometers/hr 11.93 mV x 1 11.93 km/hr
ft/min 11.93 mV x 100 1193 ft/min
knots 11.93 mV x 1 11.93 knots
5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1. Battery replacement is necessary when the Low Battery Indicator lights.
2. Open the battery cover (screw on rear of adaptor) and replace the 9V battery.
