INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the IAQ Anemometer which measures:
• CO2
• Air Temperature
• Humidity
• Air velocity & volume
• Dew Point
• Wet Bulb Temperature
This unique instrument allows you to monitor air ow and air
quality and at the same time. Backlit dual display enables you
to choose between an upper display of air velocity, RH or CO2
and a lower display of air temperature, air volume, dew point or
wet bulb temperature. Calculates min/max, multi-point and time
weighted average on all parameters and has a hold function.
View readings on your smartphone in real time via Bluetooth®
with free iOS and Android apps and export a summary the
data together for later analysis. The app will also superimpose
current readings of all parameters on your smart phone photo
of the object being measured. Simple user calibration of
CO2. and RH. Also enables input of air pressure for accurate
compensation of CO2 measurements. The CO2 sensor uses
NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) waveguide technology to
ensure long-term accuracy, and reliability. Comes in a hard
carrying case with 4 AAA batteries. Optional air cones come
in a set with one round cone for vents <7 ½” diameter and one
square cone for vents <12 ½” x 12 ½”. When attached to the
cone the meter automatically calculates air volume without
the need to input vent size. The optional extension rod can be
used with the meter alone, or the cone, eliminating the need
for a ladder.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
Power on/o󰀨
Press and release the Power button to turn the meter on/o󰀨.
Auto Power O󰀨
When turned on the meter defaults to auto-o󰀨 mode which
automatically turns the meter o󰀨 after 20 minutes of inactivity.
To override auto-o󰀨 hold + down simultaneously for 2
seconds. “n” will briey appear on the display conrming that
the meter is in normal mode and auto-o󰀨 has been disabled.
Display Units
When initially powered on the meter displays air velocity in
the upper display and air temperature in the lower display.
Press Umode to cycle upper display readings of air velocity,
RH (Relative Humidity) or CO2. Press Lmode to cycle lower
display readings of air temperature, air volume, WBT (Wet
Bulb Temperature), or DP (Dew Point). The meter will default
to your most recent section the next time it is powered on.
Data Hold
Press and release HOLD to freeze the current reading.
“HOLD” appears on the top left corner of the display.
Press again to unfreeze readings.

Max, Min
1. Press Mx/Mn for 3 seconds to view minimum reading
of all parameters. “MIN will appear atop the display and
the minimum values since the meter was turned on will
be displayed.
2. Press Mx/Mn again for 3 seconds to display maximum
readings. “MIN will appear atop the display and the
minimum values since the meter was turned on will be
displayed.
3. Press the up arrow to scroll minimum and maximum
parameters in the upper display and press the down arrow
to scroll parameters in the lower displays.
4. Press Mx/Mn again for 3 seconds to return to the normal
mode.
Average Functions
The meter can calculate multi-point or timed averages on all
parameters. This can also be done via the App (see p. 15)
Multi-Point Average
1. In normal mode press “AVG” for 2 seconds to enter multi-
point average mode.
2. Press enter repeatedly to record specic readings.

9
3. Once recorded press the to see the average of all the
data points recorded. AVG will ash while the number of
data points will appear in the upper display and the average
reading will displayed in the lower display.
4. Press the to scroll through the average readings of
each parameter.
5. Press “AVG” again to return to normal mode.
Timed Average
1. In normal mode press “AVG” for 2 seconds and the meter
enters multi-point average mode. Press it again to enter
Timed Average mode.
2. Press enter to start recording. The upper display shows the
timed duration in seconds (maximum 19999 seconds), and
the lower display shows the current reading.
3. Press the up arrow to end the recordings and calculate
the timed average. “AVG” begins ashing and the timed
duration in seconds appears on the upper display while the
average reading appears in the lower display.

4. Press to view average readings of other parameters.
5. Press AVG again to return to normal mode.
Air Volume
You have 3 options for measuring air volume:
1. Enter the square dimensions of the vent or duct you wish to
measure directly into the meter. (see Setup p. 11).
2. The App o󰀨ers you additional options for calculating air
volume. (see p. 15)
3. Use the optional airow cones. Make sure the meter is fully
inserted and locked into the cone. indicates that it
recognizes the cone. The meter will now automatically
calculate air volume, without reference to any measurements
you may have previously entered.
Note: The vent size must be no larger than the cone.
CO2
The CO2 sensor is built into the rear of the center of the vane.
Press repeatedly to reach CO2 in the upper display.(See
p. 11 for CO2 calibration). For accurate readings at high
altitudes CO2 should be compensated for air pressure. This
can be done directly on the meter (see Setup P4.0 on p. 11,
or via the App. see p. 15)

mode. Press again for 2 seconds to exit setup mode. Use the up
and down arrows to select among the following options:
P1.0 Unit selection
P2.0 Area input
P3.0 RH o󰀨set
P4.0 Pressure compensation.
P1.0 Unit Selection
1. Press enter to enter unit selection mode.
2. Press & arrow to switch from metric to imperial units.
3. Press enter to return to P1.0 then press the up arrow to scroll to P2.0.
P2.0 Area input
1. Press enter and the display will show “99999” with the rst
digit ashing.

12
2. Press to change the digit and to move
to the next digit.
3. When complete, press enter to return to P2.0. then press
the to scroll to P3.0.
P3.0 RH O󰀨set
RH value can be adjusted to any known standard.
1. Press enter to enter the RH O󰀨set mode. 0.0RH ashes on
the upper display.
2. Press to increase and to decrease the o󰀨set value,
i.e. the di󰀨erence between you meter and your known RH
standard’s reading.
4. Press enter again to return to P3.0. then press the
to scroll to P40.
P4.0 Pressure Compensation

13
1. Press enter to enter the pressure compensation mode.
The default value of 1013 hpa ashes on the display.
2. Press to increase the air pressure value and to
decrease it.
3. When nished press enter again to return to P4.0. Hold
power for 2 seconds to return to normal mode.
CO2 Calibration
The meter is calibrated at 400ppm CO2 concentration at the
factory. We suggest recalibrating at least once a year for
the best accuracy. This should be done in fresh air (=equals
400ppm). Calibrating the meter in higher CO2 concentrations
will lead to inaccurate readings. Calibration procedure:
1. With the meter o󰀨 press and release power, and
simultaneously to enter the CO2 calibration mode. “CAL
will appear in the lower display and the meter begins
counting down for 30 seconds and then begins calibration
to 400ppm.

14
2. During calibration a CO2 reading of 380 to 420 will ash in
the upper display.
3. After 10 minutes the reading will stop ashing, calibration is
complete, and the meter returns to normal.
Note: Make sure the batteries are at full voltage during to
prevent interruption and a failed calibration.
