GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The Anemometer Model HD2303.0 is a portable instrument that allows to perform measurements in
the fields of air conditioning, heating and ventilation.
It is fitted with a large LCD display for excellent visualization of the measured data. The
Anemometer Model HD2303.0:
•uses hot-wire or vane probes to measure air speed, flow rate, and temperature inside pipelines
and vents;
•while temperature only is measured by immersion, penetration or contact probes; the
temperature sensor is either a Pt100 or Pt1000.
The probes are fitted with the automatic detection module, with the factory calibration settings
already being memorized inside.
The units of measurement for the measurable quantities are:
•for wind speed:
-m/s (meter/second)
-km/h (kilometer/hour)
-ft/min (foot/minute)
-mph (mile/hour)
-knot
•for calculated flow rate:
-l/s (liter/s)
-m³/s (cubic meter/second)
-m³/s (cubic meter/minute)
-m³/h (cubic meter/hour)
-ft³/s (cubic foot/second)
-ft³/min (cubic foot/minute)
Using the Max, Min and Avg function of this instrument respectively obtains the maximum,
minimum or average values.
Other available functions are:
•the relative measurement REL;
•the HOLD function;
•the automatic turning off which can also be disabled.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNCTIONS
The keyboard of the Anemometer Model HD2303.0 is composed of double-function keys. The
function on the key is the "main function", while the one above the key is the "secondary function".
When the instrument is in standard measurement mode, the main function is active.
Once the Settings Menu has been opened, by pressing simultaneously the DATA+UNIT keys, the
secondary function is enabled.
The pressing of a key is accompanied by a short confirmation "beep": a longer "beep" sounds if the
wrong key is pressed. Each key specific function is described in detail below.
This key has two functions:
•ON/OFF: press this key to turn the instrument on and off.
The turning on enables all display segments for a few seconds and starts an Auto-test including the
detection of the probe connected to the input. For a very short time the filter used for measurements
(FAST or SLOW) is displayed; then the instrument carries on with the standard measurement.

HD2303 - 10 - V1.6
PROBES AND MEASUREMENTS
The Anemometer works with hot-wire, vane and temperature probes fitted with the SICRAM
module. It works also with temperature probes with 4 wire Pt100 or 2 wire Pt1000 sensor.
Some probes are fitted with SICRAM module that acts as an interface between the sensor on the
probe and the instrument. There is a microprocessor circuit with a permanent memory inside the
module that enables the instrument to recognize the type of probe connected and to read its
calibration information.
The temperature probes without SICRAM module are not automatically detected by the instrument
and must be set up in the Probe type menu item.
The probe is detected during turn on, and this cannot be performed when the instrument is
already on, therefore if a probe is connected and the instrument is on, it is necessary to turn it
off and on.
WIND SPEED MEASUREMENT
The probes of the AP471 and AP472 series measure the incident wind speed and flow rate. Some
also measure air temperature.
The measurement principles used are the following:
-hot-wire for the AP471 series
-vane for the AP472 series.
On request, the probes of the AP471 and AP472 series can be fitted with a telescopic rod that eases
measurements in areas difficult to reach (for example vents).
The typical applications are wind speed and flow rate checks in air conditioning, heating and
cooling systems, or environmental comfort determination, etc.
The two probe models must be used according to the wind speed:
-hot-wire probes are usually employed for precise measurements with low-medium wind speeds
(until 10 m/s);
-vane probes with speeds from 5 to 50m/s;
and according to the measured fluid temperature:
-hot-wire probes measure air flows at 80°C maximum temperature;
-vane probes measure air flows of up to 120°C, depending on the model.
Connecting the probe and turning the instrument on, it is possible to choose the unit of
measurement for the value displayed in the main line by using the UNIT key.
The following units are available:
•for wind speed: m/s - km/h - ft/min - mph (miles/hour) - knots;
•for air temperature: °C and °F;
•for flow rate: l/s (liters/s) - m3/s - m3/min - m3/h - ft3/s - ft3/min.

HD2303 - 11 - V1.6
Flow rate measurement
The flow rate measurement requires knowledge of the duct or vent area orthogonal to the flow: the
menu items indicated by "SECT m2" and "SECT INC2" define the section area m2or inch2.
To set the area value:
-press simultaneously DATA and UNIT to open the menu;
-using the and arrows, set the value expressed in m2;
-confirm with DATA/ENTER.
To use the inch2unit of measurement:
-select the "SECT m2" menu item;
-press STD-BY to change the unit of measurement from m2to inch2;
-using the and arrows, enter the desired value;
-press DATA/ENTER to confirm the modification and go onto the next item;
-press CLR/ESC to cancel the modification;
-to exit the menu, press the UNIT/MENU key again.
The area comprised must be between 0.0001m2(1 cm2) and 1.9999 m2.
After input of the duct's section area:
select the unit of measurement for the flow rate by using the UNIT key:
-l/s
-m3/s
-m3/min
-m3/h
-ft3/s
-ft3/min.
The display shows the calculated flow rate on the section set with the parameters "SECT m2"
and "SECT INC2".

HD2303 - 12 - V1.6
HOT-WIRE WIND SPEED MEASUREMENT PROBES COMPLETE WITH SICRAM MODULE
The hot-wire wind speed measurement probes, fitted with SICRAM module, are the models:
AP471S1, AP471S2, AP471S3, AP471 S4
The AP471S1 and AP471S3 probes measure incident air flows up to 40m/s. The AP471S2,
AP471S4 probes are fitted with an omnidirectional sensor allowing measurement of speeds up to
5m/s in any direction of the air flow incident on the probe. The AP471S4 probe is also fitted with
support base and sensor protection. The wind speed measurement is compensated for according to
temperature within the range of 0…+80°C.
The probes AP471S1, AP471S2, and AP471S3 measure the environment temperature in the range
of -25°C…+80°C; AP471S4 in the range 0°C…+80°C.
NOTE: The AP471S… modules are calibrated in the factory; no calibration is required by the user.
AP471 S1
AP471 S3
The AP471S1, S2 and S3 probes are fitted with a cylindrical
protection screen that can slide longitudinally over a groove.
The screen has two end-of-travel positions that block it in
measurement condition (completely low) or rest condition
(completely high). To reduce the space occupied when not
used, the AP471S4 is supplied with a protection cylinder that
can be screwed on the probe's head.

Operation
Where present, extend the telescopic rod to the necessary length paying attention to the cable so that
it can slide freely and without strain.
Uncover the sensor and introduce the probe in the air flow being measured, maintaining the arrow
at the top of the probe parallel to the flow, as indicated in the figures.
The probe should be maintained orthogonal to the flow and not tilted in relation to it:
OK
NO
Proceed with measurement following the instructions provided in this chapter.
Care and maintenance of the probes
The speed sensor of the AP471S… probes is heated and, in the presence of gas vapours,
could trigger a fire or explosion. Do not use the probe in the presence of
inflammable gases. Ensure that no gas or explosive vapor leakage is present in the
measurement spaces.
The probe is very delicate and should be handled with extreme care. Even a simple collision,
especially of the omnidirectional probes that have an uncovered sensor, could render the probe
unusable. After measurement, the sensor set on the probe head must be protected with the supplied
metallic screen or threaded cylinder. During use, the AP471S4 omnidirectional probe must be
protected with the special metallic grid. During transportation, the sensor must be closed into a
cylinder screwed on the end part of the probe.
Do not let fingers touch the sensors. Use only alcohol to clean the probe.

VANE WIND SPEED MEASUREMENT PROBES COMPLETE WITH SICRAM MODULE
The AP472S1 and AP472S2 vane probes measure the incident wind speed and flow rate. The probe
AP472S1 measures also the temperature using a thermocouple of type K. On request, they can be
fitted with a telescopic rod that eases measurements in areas difficult to reach (for example vents).
The probes' speed and temperature measurement ranges are outlined in the table below:
Speed (m/s) Temperature (°C) Temperature

Thermocouple
K
100
AP472S2 0.5…20

(working temperature) ---- 60
Greater diameters are suitable for flow measurements in the presence of turbulence with medium-
low air speeds (i.e. at the exit of the ducts). Lower diameters are suitable in applications where the
probe surface must be much slower than the duct cross section within which the measurement is
carried out, i.e. ventilation ducts.
Calibration
The AP472S1 and AP472S2 probes are calibrated in the factory; no calibration is required by the
user.
Operation
Where present, extend the telescopic rod to the necessary length paying attention to the cable so that
it can slide freely and without strain.
Introduce the probe in the air flow being measured, maintaining the arrow at the top of the probe
parallel to the flow as indicated in the following figure.

HD2303 - 17 - V1.6
The probe should be maintained orthogonal to the flow and not tilted in relation to it
OK
NO
The probe is correctly positioned in relation to the air-flow when the value measured is the
maximum possible.
Proceed with measurement following the instructions provided in this chapter.
Care and maintenance of the probes
The probe performance, mainly at low speeds, largely depends on the very slow friction of the vane
on its own axis. In order not to compromise this characteristic, it is recommended that forcing is
avoided, as well as blocking or rotating the vane with the fingers, and if possible, avoid inserting it
in air flows that could spoil the probe.

the point (1). Screw the rod end on the screw (2). The handle (3) is screwed on the telescopic rod.

HD2303 - 19 - V1.6
DIRECT INPUT Pt100 AND Pt1000 TEMPERATURE PROBES
The instrument accepts the input of Platinum temperature probes with resistances of 100Ω (Pt100)
and 1000Ω (Pt1000).
The Pt100 are connected to 4 wires, the Pt1000 to 2 wires; the excitation current was chosen in
order to minimize the sensor self-heating effects.
All probes with SICRAM module are calibrated in the factory; the 2 or 4 wire probes with direct
input are checked for conformity with class A tolerance according to norm IEC751 - BS1904 -
DIN43760.
For the temperature probes without SICRAM module (Pt100 4 wires, and Pt1000) the model
configuration is required (please see the description of the Probe Type menu).
Temperature measurement
The temperature measurement by immersion is carried out by inserting the probe in the liquid for at
least 60 mm; the sensor is housed in the end part of the probe.
In the temperature measurement by penetration the probe tip must be inserted to a depth of at least
60 mm, the sensor is housed in the end part of the probe.
NOTE: when measuring the temperature on frozen blocks it is convenient to use a mechanical tool
to bore a cavity in which to insert the tip probe.
In order to perform a correct contact measurement, the measurement surface must be even and
smooth, and the probe must be perpendicular to the measurement plane.
So as to obtain the correct measurement, the insertion of a drop of oil or heat-conductive
paste between the surface and the probe is useful (do not use water or solvents). This method
also improves the response time.
Connecting the TP47 connector for 4 wire Pt100, Pt1000 and Ni1000 probes
All probes produced by Delta OHM are provided with a connector.
The HD2303.0 instrument also work with direct 4 wire Pt100, and 2 wire Pt1000 probes
manufactured by other producers: for the instrument connection is prescribed the TP47 connector to
which the probe's wires should be welded.
The instructions to connect the Platinum probe to the TP47 module are provided below. The TP47
module is supplied complete with fairlead and gasket for 5 mm maximum diameter cables. Do the
following to open the module and connect a probe:
1. unscrew the fairlead;
2. extract the gasket;
3. remove the label using a cutter;
4. unscrew the ring on the opposite side as illustrated in the figure:

HD2303 - 20 - V1.6
5. open the two module shells: the printed circuit to which the probe must be connected is housed
inside. On the left there are the 1…4 points on which the sensor wires must be welded. The
JP1…JP4 jumpers are in the center of the board. These must be closed with a tin bead for some
type of sensors:

7. Once the welding operation is complete, close the two shells;
8. insert the gasket in the module;
9. screw the fairlead and the ring. Make sure the cable is not twisted while you are screwing the
fairlead. Now the probe is ready.
Direct connection of 4-wire Pt100 sensors
4-wire Pt100 sensors can be soldered directly
to the pins of the free female connector
without making use of the TP47 board. The 4
wires of the Pt100 sensors have to be soldered
as indicated in the figure on the left.
In order to use this type of probe it is
necessary to set up the menu item “Probe
Type” as described at page 9.
The P100 probe is recognized upon turning on
the instrument: connect the probe when the
instrument is switched off and then turn it on.
