1．Introduction
The model 6710 is used to measure the air flow at the supply and the exhaust points of an
HVAC system. There are several interchangeable hoods of various sizes so it’s easy to find one
that will match the size of the supply and exhaust points of any HVAC system.
The standard size hood is 2ft×2ft (610mm×610mm). Four additional sizes are also available
as options:
2ft×4ft (610mm×1220mm).
1ft×4ft (305mm×1220mm).
2ft×3ft (610mm×915mm).
3ft×3ft (915mm×915mm).
The capture hood is designed to fit tightly over the air port to eliminate any leakage which
could affect the accuracy of a measurement. Users can see the air port through the clear windows
at the top of the capture hood ensuring it is lined up correctly. Fiberglass poles support the fabric
hood.
A velocity matrix is fixed on the base and airflow is tested through sixteen measuring points on
the cross sections of the matrix. The sensor will measure airflow and correct for air pressure and
temperature ensuring an accurate reading every time.
1.1 Product features
zMeasure air flow, temperature and humidity at the same time

zLarge Storage capacity: 3000 records
z3.5 inch color LCD
zLCD tilts up to 30°for easy viewing
zBack pressure compensation
zAutomatic air pressure and temperature correction

1）“Single” measurements are individual flow measurements. When you press “START”, the
instrument will begin measuring and the air flow value will be displayed as “- - - -”.
2）The test will stop automatically when the air flow is stable and a flow value with the
corresponding wind direction will be displayed. Air flow will be stable within 8 seconds.
The greater the air flow the shorter the time needed to stabilize.
3）After the measurement stops, press “SAVE” to record the testing value, if you do the
“Cycle” No. will increase by 1.
Note：The value will be recorded only when testing is completed in the “Single” mode. If
testing is interrupted before a stable airflow reading is displayed no data will be saved.
4.7.3 Running Average Measurement Mode
1）When “Run Avg” mode is selected, the instrument will constantly measure and display a
running average. Press “START” to begin the measurement.
2）During the test if the air flow is not stable, the flow reading will display “- - - -”, then once the
reading has stabilized a flow reading will be obtained and displayed every 1 second, and
the wind direction will be displayed in real time.
Note: The displayed air flow reading is a running average that is calculated based on the “Avg
Time” settings entered by the user. The greater the “Avg Time” the more stable the
tested air flow.
3）When auto-save is enabled, the testing flow values will be recorded at user-defined
intervals under the setting “Save Time”, and the “Cycle” No. will increase by 1. If auto-save
is not enabled the readings will not be saved during the test.
4）The instrument will run continuously in “Run Avg” mode until you press “STOP”. After you
press stop, the last reading and the related wind direction will be displayed. Press “SAVE”
to record the testing value, if you do the “Cycle” No. will increase by 1.

4.7.4 Back Pressure Compensation Measurement Mode
When measuring air flow in an environment with a strong wind or turbulent flow, it will produce
resistance for test air flow and system pressure. It is suggested you turn the Back Pressure
Compensation ON when the air flow is more than 1500 m3/h, otherwise you can test without the
Back Pressure Compensation ON.
1）When “B. Press” mode is turned on, press “START” and the measurement will begin.
2）When "Flap Open!" is displayed, close the Back pressure plate and press "START" to
start the measurement.
3) When the measurement stops, the air flow, as measured with Back Pressure
Compensation will be displayed.
4) After the measurement stops, press “SAVE” to save the data and the “Cycle” No. will
increase by 1.
