Information about the device
Device description
By making use of the anemometer air velocities can be
determined in various units:
• metres per second (m/s)
• kilometres per hour (KPH)
• feet per minute (FPM)
• miles per hour (MPH)
• nautical miles per hour in knots (KNT)
Further available for the assessment of the measurements is a
MAX/AVG function (maximum and average value).
The display illumination is automatically activated in poor
lighting conditions.
When not in use, an automatic switch-off saves the battery.

1. Remove the battery compartment cover(4) from the
device.
2. Use the battery clip(13) to connect the new battery with
correct polarity.
3. Slide the battery compartment cover(4) back on the
device.
Switch-on and measurements
1. Press the power button(7).
ðThe display will be switched on and the device ready for
operation.
2. Hold the sensor(1) into the area where the measurement
is to be performed. Ideally, the vane is aligned precisely to
the flow direction.
ðThe measured value for air velocity will be displayed in
real time.
Note:
Note that moving from a cold area to a warm area can lead to
condensation forming on the device's circuit board. This
physical and unavoidable effect can falsify the measurement. In
this case, the display shows either no measured values or they
are incorrect. Wait a few minutes until the device has become
adjusted to the changed conditions before carrying out a
measurement.
Setting the air velocity unit
1. Press the MAX/AVGbutton(2) for approx. 2seconds.
ðThe indication of the velocity unit(11) switches to the
next unit.
2. Repeat this step until the desired unit is indicated on the
display.
Indication of maximum and average values
1. Briefly press the MAX/AVGbutton(2).
ðThe MAXindication(8) and the measurement's
maximum value will be displayed.
2. Press the MAX/AVG button(2) again to display the average
value.
ðThe AVGindication(9) and the measurement's average
value will be displayed.
3. Press the MAX/AVGbutton(2) again to quit using the
function.
Switching the device off
1. Briefly press the power button(7).
ðThe device will be switched off.
ðThe maximum and average values will be deleted.

disposal regulations.
The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste
electrical or electronic equipment is taken from Directive
2012/19/EU. It states that this device must not be disposed of
with the household waste at the end of its life. You will find
collection points for free return of waste electrical and electronic
equipment in your vicinity. The addresses can be obtained from
your municipality or local administration. You can also find out
about other return options that apply for many EU countries on
the website https://hub.trotec.com/?id=45090. Otherwise,
please contact an official recycling centre for electronic and
electrical equipment authorised for your country.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic
equipment aims to enable the re-use, recycling and other forms
of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent negative
effects for the environment and human health caused by the
disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the
equipment.
In the European Union, batteries and accumulators must
not be treated as domestic waste, but must be disposed of
professionally in accordance with Directive 2006/66/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 6September2006
on batteries and accumulators. Please dispose of batteries and
accumulators according to the relevant legal requirements.
Only for United Kingdom
According to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Regulations 2013 (SI2013/3113) (as amended) and the Waste
Batteries and Accumulators Regulations 2009 (SI2009/890) (as
amended), devices that are no longer usable must be collected
separately and disposed of in an environmentally friendly
manner.
