Note: Avoid touching the sensor with your ngers or with any tools, as
this may cause damage or incorrect readings.
1. Plug the Telescopic Probe into the Probe
Input Socket while the meter is off.
2. Once the meter is powered up,
select "Air" function (see Selecting
Measurement Modes for details).
3. Hold the Probe Handle and face the
wind direction mark on the sensor head
towards the direction of the airow. The
top part of the display will indicate the air
velocity, and the lower part of the display
will indicate the air temperature value.
