The AirDistSys5000 enables air temperature and low air speed measurements at several points in spaces, as
well as for measurement of flow characteristics in jets from air thermal devices. The AirDistSys5000 is wire-less
system which makes it convenient for field and laboratory measurements. Many years experience with
manufacturing of low velocity thermal anemometers and the latest development in the field of electronic equipment
were used in designing of the system.
The system offers:
•simultaneous measurement of air speed and temperature at several points (up to 64 points)
•high measurement accuracy and sensitivity as recommended in the standards
•short response time suitable for measurement of fluctuating air velocity
•several measuring units can be serially connected with one single cable, no measuring station or AD
converter are required
•individual calibration certificate traceable to present ISO 7726, ISO 7730, EN 13182 and ASHRAE 113
standards
•logging of the data can be done on a portable PC via USB port.
•wire-less communication enabling data logging from distance (up to 60 m), i.e. no cables between the
transducers and the PC for data logging.
The system can be extended up to 64 transducers. Optionally the system may be equipped with transducer
SensoBar 5301 which makes it possible to compensate automatically the measurements for the influence of
barometric pressure changes. Through a SensoConnect USB interface the transducers are connected with USB port
of computer. The wire-less version of the system uses SensoBee transmitters which are connected with the
transducers and SensoBeeUSB receiver which is connected with a computer.

SensoAnemo5100LSF is a transducer with
omnidirectional (spherical) sensor for measurement of air
speed (magnitude of velocity vector) sensor. The sensor,
designed for low speed measurement indoors, has wide
range of frequency response and high sensitivity. The
transducer measures instantaneous speed, mean air speed
and standard deviation of air speed as well as the air
temperature, draught rate and turbulence intensity.
The probe can be integrated into the transducer or
connected via cable with transducer connector. The
second solution allows fast exchanges of damaged probe
or use several probes to one transducer. The probe is
automatically recognized by the transducer. In the case of
wrong connection of the probe error code is generated.
Each probe is individually calibrated and compensated for
impact of temperature changes on velocity measurements
(air temperature different than the air temperature during
calibration). The compensation and calibration
coefficients are programmed into EEPROM memory. The probe is shown in the figure beside. The velocity
sensor (1) is made of special wire pressed into the shape
of a sphere with diameter of 2mm. The temperature sensor
(2) is made of the thin nickel wire and its shape is
cylindrical. The temperature sensor measures temperature
of the ambient air. The two sensors are vacuum covered
with a special aluminium coating that increases their
resistance to contamination and decreases the effect of
thermal radiation on the accuracy of velocity
measurement.
Both sensors can be also protected against
mechanical damage using a openwork basket (4) made
with wire circles. If such protection is not necessary it is
recommended to remove the openwork basket (4) from the
shielding tube (3). The shielding tube (with or without

attached basket) can be moved along the probe support and can be locked at certain position by a clamp screw (5).
The transducer has a digital output RS485. Thanks optional analog output of velocity, transducer can work also
with analog datalogger, A/D converter or any multimeter. Drivers for LabView which can be delivered to user
allows to create your own software or connect transducers with other measuring system.
Preparation for measurement:
1. First install the measurement transducer or probe
on a tripod.
2. Check if the openwork basket (4) is on the
shielding tube (3). If not put openwork basket (4)
on the shielding tube (3). Be particularly careful
not to damage the speed sensor (1). To this
purpose check if the shielding tube (3) is on the
end of the probe completely covering the speed
sensor and the clamp screw (5) is properly
locked (it does not move!). Put on the openwork
basket (4) only then when the sensor (1) is
covered by the shielding tube (3).
3. Loosen the clamp screw (5) and move the shielding
tube (3) with the openwork basket (4) towards the
holder uncovering the sensors (1) and (2).
4. Lock the clamp screw (5) so that the speed sensor (1)
was in the middle of the openwork basket (4).
5. After the measurements move the shielding tube (3)
back on the sensors (1) and (2).
6. Connect the SensoCable to the socket (RJ45) on the
back wall of the transducer casing and to the SensoBox
adapter (SensoBeeAccu wire-less transmitter or
SensoConnect USB interface). Use the second socket
(RJ45) to make connection between the transducers.
7. Turn on the power supply. The “ready to use” diode on
the casing should blink firstly for a few seconds and
next will remain ON. If the diode blinks permanently it
means that is the error. The case of the error might to
be too low voltage of power supply caused for example
by unloaded batteries.
Remarks:
1. The speed sensor (1) must be protected during transport by the shielding tube (3). Note that the clamping
screw (5) has been properly lock.
2. The openwork basket (4) should be put on and put out only then when the speed sensor (1) is covered and
secured by the shielding tube (3).
3. Use the openwork basket (4) if you are not sure of the safety of the sensors during measurements.

The SensoBeeUSB wire-less receiver contains the
RF module for wire-less data transmission. It enables
wire-less data transmission between transducers (via
SensoBee or SensoBeeAccu transmitters) and USB port of
computer. The RF module operates under ZigBee
(802.15.4) protocol accepted by ETSI/EC (Europe), FCC
(U.S.A) and IC (Canada). The SensoBeeUSB is being
powered from the USB port of computer (RF diode is
blinking when powered), therefore it doesn't require
external power supply adapter.
The SensoBeeUSB can be also used for data
transmission via the cable (see example “E” or “F” in the
chapter 2). In this case one end of SensoCable should be
connected to socket RJ45 of SensoBeeUSB and the
second end to one of measuring transducers or to the
SensoBox supply. The mains socket from the side of the casing can serve for connecting power supply adapter which
is powering measuring transducers in case data transmission via cable.
