Precautions for Measurements
Air Velocity Measurement Precautions
● The probe has its own directivity
characteristics. Make sure that the direction
mark is facing into the airflow (for details of the
directivity characteristics, refer to “Probe
Directivity (Air Velocity)” on P.31). If you are not
sure of the airflow direction, slowly rotate the
probe and select the point where you get the
maximum velocity reading,
● The probe compensates air velocity change due
to temperature change by using the air velocity sensor with
the temperature compensation sensor. In order to obtain this
compensation effect, it is required that both sensors are evenly
exposed to the airflow under the same temperature conditions.
● For measurements in an environment with rapid air temperature
changes, measure for at least 20 seconds and wait for the reading to
stabilize before starting the actual measurement (i.e. the data will
not be accurate until the probe has time to acclimate to the
environment.).
Air Temperature Measurement Precautions
● The response time for temperature measurement improves as the
air velocity increases. Wait for the reading to become stable before
taking a measurement.
● When no airflow is present, the air temperature reading may be
higher than the actual temperature due to the heat generated by the
air velocity sensor. It is recommended that you SLOWLY wave the
probe to create an environment with approx. 0.1m/s airflow to
obtain accurate temperature readings.
Duct Shape / Size Input
Before measuring the volumetric flow rate, duct shape and size
settings must be entered.
Duct Shape: There are two duct shapes – Rectangular and
Circular, which are indicated as
and at the lower right
corner of the LCD screen.
Size of Duct: For a rectangular duct, set the width (W) and height
(H). For a circular duct, set the diameter (D).
Size Range: Maximum dimension of a side: 2550mm
Input Increment: Range of 0 to 1000mm: 1mm
Range of 1000 to2550mm: 10mm
*When inch is selected for the input unit, the maximum dimension
will be 255 inch.
Input Increment: Range of 0 to 100inch: 0.1inch
Range of 100 to 255inch: 1inch
