4. MEASURING PROCEDURE
4-1 Function selection
1)Turn on the meter by pressing the " Power Button "
( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) momentarily.
*Pressing the " Power Button " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 )
continuously and > 2 seconds again will turn off the
meter.
2)The meter can select 4 kind function as :
a.Air velocity/Temp.
b. Humidity/Temp. measurement
c.Type K/J Thermometer
d. Light meter
Pressing the " Function Button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 )
continuously ( not release the button ), the Display
will show the following text in sequence :
An Air velocity/Temp. measurement
rH Humidity/Temp. measurement
tP Type K/J Thermometer measurement
LIgHt Light meter
Until the Display show the desired mode ( Function ),
just release the " Function Button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ), the
meter will execute this function with default.

4-2 Air velocity/Temp. measurement
1)Function select to " Air velocity/Temp. " measurement.
2)Plug the " Probe Plug " ( 3-21, Fig. 1 ) into the " Probe
Input Socket " ( 3-7, Fig. 1 ).
Power on the meter by pressing the " Power Button "
( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) once,
3)Hold the Probe by hand and let the " Anemometer
vane " ( 3-18, Fig. 1 ) face against the measuring air
flow source, then the Display ( 3-1, Fig. 1 ) will show
air velocity directly. At the same time, the lower Display
will show the air temperature value.
Change the Air velocity unit
Air velocity unit are :
m/S, FPM ( Ft/min ), Km/h, Knots, mph ( Mile/h )
If intend to change the Air velocity unit, press the
Unit Button " ( 3-4 ) continuously, the unit will
change from m/S to Km/h, mph, Knot, FPM in
sequence, until the desired unit is present on the
Display release the " Unit Button ", the select unit will
save into the memory with default.
Change the temperature unit ( , )℃℉
The meter Temp. display unit is defaulted to " ".℃
If intend to let the meter's temperature unit default
to " " , then please refer chapter 7-6 ( page 22 ).℉
