continuously > 3 seconds, the Display will show the text
" Unit " release the " REC button ", then press " button "
to select the desired unit, after the desired unit
is sleeted, press the " REC button " to save the unit
with default.
REC button = Enter button

2)If the Display with two units, such as anemometer with
two Display, upper Display show the air velocity value,
lower Display show the Temp. value. After finish the
upper Display unit selection ( already press the " REC
buton " to enter ) then can select the lower Display
unit ( , ) following by pressing the " button "℃℉
once. After finish the lower Display unit selection, then
press the " REC button " to save the lower Display unit
with default.
The selection unit for all function are :

4-5 Reverse the Display direction automatically
As intend to match the sensor convenient position, Light
sensor should put on the top case side to prevent when
hand hold the case may interrupt the sensor, the Display
direction for Light measurement will reverse automatically
will reverse automatically

4-6 Special attention for the Humidity
measurement
Attention :
Intend to get the precision
reading, for the Humidity /
Temp. , Dew point Temp., Wet
bulb Temp., Heat index
measurement, the hand or
fingers do not touch ( or stay
away ) the Humidity sensor
( 3-6, Fig. 1 ).
4-7 Air flow measurement
1)Power on, select the function to " Air flow measurement "
( refer to chapter 4-3 ), now the meter is ready for Air
flow measurement.
2)Set the measurement area dimension :
Press the " Hold button " once, the Display will show the
indicator " HOLD " then press the " REC button " continuously
until the left down bottom of Display show " m-2 "
or " F-2 "
m-2 = meter square
F-2 = ft square
3)
Use the " Hold button " and the " button "
to
adjust the air flow dimension value.
Until the desired dimension value is set, press
" REC button " to save the setting value with default.
button = button▲
Hold button = button▼
REC button = Enter button

4-8 Hold Function
Whenever press the " Hold Button " will freeze the current
reading value with a "HOLD" symbol on the display.
To release the Hold function, just press the " Hold button "
once again, the " HOLD " indicator will be disappeared.
* During execute the " REC function ", the Hold function is disable.
4-9 REC ( Record ) function
1)The REC ( Record ) function can record and display
the maximum and minimum reading values. Start the
Record function by pressing the " REC Button " once.
There will be a " REC " symbol on the display.
2)With the REC symbol on the display :
(a) Press the " REC button " once and the " Max "
symbol along with the maximum value will appear on
the display.
(b) Press the " REC button " again, the " MIN " symbol
along with the minimum value will appear on the display.
(c) To exit the memory record function, press the " REC
button " continuously for at least 2 seconds. The display
will revert to the current reading.
(d) Clear the recorded MAX or MIN value by pressing the
" Hold button " once. Previous recorded
MAX/MIN value will be given up and then revert to the
REC. function keep on recording.
4-10 Auto power off disable
In order to prolong the battery life, the instrument has
"Auto Power Off " function. The meter will switch off
automatically if no buttons are pressed for around 10
minutes.
However if intend disable the " Auto power off " function,
just execute the " REC " function ( above chapter 4-8 ),
then the Auto power off function will be canceled.

4-11 Option Pt 1000 ohm Temp. measurement
1)Insert the plug of the optional Pt 1000 ohm Temp.
probe, TP-1000 into the " Pt 1000 ohm probe socket "
( 3-11, Fig. 1 ).
2)Power on the meter, select the function to " Pt 1000
ohm Temp. " ( refer to chapter 4-3 ), now the meter is
ready for Pt 1000 ohm Temp. measurement.
5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1)When the LCD display shows " " symbol, it is
necessary to replace the battery. However
measurement may still be made for several hours after
the low battery indicator appears.
2)Open the " Battery Compartment / Cover " ( 3-9, Fig. 1 )
and remove the battery.
