How to extend the Articulating Probe:
1. Hold the upper part ①of the probe, and unscrew ②.
2. Pull out the flex-neck ③.
Fix the probe in its extended position by holding ①and turning ④.
3. Slowly bend the flex-neck. (⑤&⑥)
Caution:
Do not excessively bend the flex-neck or apply excessive force.
When the instrument is not in use, the probe must be returned to its
original position (the flex-neck stored) to avoid possible damage.

2. Getting Started
2.1 Installing Batteries
Backside of the body
4. Insert the batteries by observing the polarity. The instrument requires
six (6) AA size batteries. Types of batteries that can be used are:
Manganese (R6), Alkaline (LR6) or Ni-Cd batteries.
The six (6) batteries must be of the same type. Do NOT mix different
types of batteries. Failure to observe this may cause battery leakage or
damage to the instrument.
* Batteries CANNOT be recharged by the AC adapter.
3. Lift the cover awa
y
from the bod
y
.
1. Press down the battery cover with your
finger as shown left.
2. Slide the cover toward the bottom of
the instrument until it stops.
5. Put the cover back on by reversing the above procedures.
Types of Batteries that can be Used
-Manganese (R6), AA batteries
-Alkaline (LR6), AA batteries
-Ni-Cd, AA batteries

2.2 Turning ON/OFF the Power
The power switch for turning ON/OFF the instrument is located at the side of the instrument.
When powered up, the LCD test screen will be displayed, which will switch to the Air Velocity / Air Temperature
measurement screen in approx. 2 seconds.

■Battery Level Indicator
The indicator changes as below according to the remaining battery level:
Check the “battery level indicator” to confirm the
remaining battery level. The battery consumption rate
largely depends on the measured air velocity.
When the battery drops to a level requiring
replacement, the indicator will start blinking.
Batteries must be replaced.

The screen may freeze if high velocity is measured after
the battery level indicator starts blinking.

2.3 Precautions for Measurements
2.3.1 Air Velocity Measurement Precautions
¾Probe has its own directivity characteristics. Make sure that the direction
mark is facing against the airflow (for details of the directivity characteristics,
refer to Section 12 “Probe Directivity”). If you are not sure of the airflow
direction, slowly rotate the probe and select the point where you get the
maximum velocity reading,
¾The probe compensates air velocity change due to temperature change by using the air
velocity sensor with the temperature compensation sensor. In order to obtain this
compensation effect, it is required that both sensors are evenly exposed to the airflow under
the same temperature condition.
¾For measurements in an environment with rapid temperature change, you must wait for the
reading to become stable after measuring for more than 20 seconds before taking the data.
2.3.2 Air Temperature Measurement Precautions
¾The response time for temperature measurement improves as the air velocity increases. The normal response
time is approximately 5 seconds when the air velocity is 1m/s. You must wait for the reading to become stable
before taking the data.
¾When a measurement is performed in a no-airflow condition, the air temperature reading may become higher
than actual due to the heat generated by the air velocity sensor. It is recommended that the measurement is
performed in an environment with at least 0.1m/s airflow to obtain accurate readings.
2.3.3 Differential Pressure Measurement Precautions (A041, A044)
¾Do not apply pressure more than 75kPa to the pressure sensor. Excess pressure may cause permanent damage to
the sensor.
¾The operating temperature is 5 - 40OC (or 41 - 104OF) when measuring the pressure. The instrument may not
operate properly out of this temperature range.
¾Make sure to perform zero adjustment before measuring the pressure. When performing the zero adjustment,
leave both pressure ports (+) and (-) open.

<Zero Adjustment Procedure>
Display Description
Press key to enter the pressure measurement screen.
Press and hold the key for more than 2 seconds.
The pressure value will be 0.00 kpa.
<Connecting the Pressure Tube>
Connect the pressure tube to the (+) or (-) pressure port as shown
right.
Connect the other end of the tube to the port (e.g. duct) where the
pressure is to be measured.
When the pressure to be measured is positive, connect the tube
to the (+) port, and when it is negative, connect the tube to the
(-) port.
In order to take an accurate measurement, make sure
that the tube is properly secured without any leakage, or
being bent.

3. Duct Shape and Size
Before measuring the volumetric flow rate, duct shape and size setting must be made.
Duct Shape: There are two duct shapes - Rectangular and Circular, which are indicated as and at the lower
right corner of the LCD screen.
Size of duct: For a rectangular duct, set the width (W) and height (H).
For a circular duct, set the diameter (D).
Size Range: Maximum dimension of a side: 2550mm
Input Increment: Range of 0 to 1000mm: 1mm
Range of 1000 to 2550: 10mm
*When inch is selected for the input unit, maximum dimension will be 255 inch.
Input Increment: Range of 0 to 100 inch: 0.1 inch
Range of 100 to 255 inch: 1 inch
Display Description
Press key to enter the setting screen.
<Setting of a Rectangular Duct>
Select with the keys, and press the key.
<Setting of a Circular Duct>
Select withthe keys,andpressthe key.
<Setting the Dimension for a Rectangular Duct>
Set the height (H) value with the keys, and
press the key.
Set the width (W) value with the keys,
and press the key.
Note: Press and hold or key over 2 seconds, and the increment
speed will accelerate.

4. Measurement
When the instrument is turned on, the LCD test screen will be displayed for approx. 2 seconds. The test screen will
then switch to the Air Velocity / Air Temperature measurement screen. The reading will be updated each second.
4.1 Changing the Measurement Mode
To change the measurement mode, press the key while each measurement screen is displayed.
The screen will switch in the following sequence.
Air velocity
Reading Air temperature
Number of Data Records
Volumetric flow rate
Duct shape
Air Velocity / Temperature Volumetric flow / Temperature*
Pressure reading
Differential Pressure / Temperature
Only For A041, A044
Displayed when volumetric flow
rate exceeds 99999.
Volumetric Flow rate = reading × 100
*Note: If the duct dimension is not set, the screen
will switch to the duct dimension setting screen.

4.2 Hold the Reading
Display Description
While measuring, press the key to hold the current reading.
HOLD mark will be displayed at the upper right of the reading while the
reading is held.
To recover from the hold mode, press the key again.
By pressing the key while the reading is held, the displayed
reading will be saved temporarily in the memory, and hold mode will be
released to resume measurement.
For how to store the data, refer to Section5.2 “Data Storage and
Statistical Calculation Procedure” (P.15).
