4.1 מאַכט אויף / אַוועק

דריקן און האַלטן די מאַכט button (labeled with a circle and vertical line) to turn the device on or off. The device will automatically power off after 5 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

4.2 Measuring Wind Velocity and Temperature

  1. Ensure the vane sensor is connected.
  2. Point the vane sensor into the air flow you wish to measure. The display will show real-time wind velocity and temperature readings.
  3. To change wind velocity units (m/s, km/h, ft/min, knots, mph), press the UNIT קנעפּל.
  4. To switch temperature units between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), press the ° C / ° F קנעפּל.

4.3 Measuring Air Flow (CFM/CMM)

To measure air flow, you need to input the cross-sectional area of the duct or vent.

  1. דרוק די VEL/FLOW button to enter CFM/CMM mode.
  2. דרוק די UNIT button to select between FT² (for CFM) or M² (for CMM).
  3. דרוק די SAMPLE AREA button to input the cross-sectional area. Use the arrow keys to adjust the value and אָפּציע אַרייַן צו באַשטעטיקן.
  4. Once the area is set, the device will display the air volume in CFM or CMM.
