4. Istruzioni per l'uso

4.1 Accensione/spegnimento

Premere e tenere premuto il tasto ENERGIA 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 UNITÀ pulsante.
4. To switch temperature units between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), press the ° C / ° F pulsante.

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. Premere il tasto VEL/FLUSSO button to enter CFM/CMM mode.
2. Premere il tasto UNITÀ button to select between FT² (for CFM) or M² (for CMM).
3. Premere il tasto SAMPLE AREA button to input the cross-sectional area. Use the arrow keys to adjust the value and OPZIONE INVIO per confermare.
4. Once the area is set, the device will display the air volume in CFM or CMM.

4.4 Data Hold, Max/Min/Avg Readings

• Premere il tasto PRESA pulsante per congelare la lettura corrente sul display. Premere di nuovo per rilasciare.
• Premere il tasto Massimo/minimo button to cycle through Maximum, Minimum, and Average wind velocity/flow readings.

4.5 Retroilluminazione

Premere il tasto LEGGERO button to turn the display backlight on or off. The backlight will automatically turn off after a short period to save battery life.

4.6 Data Recording and PC Connection

The device can record up to 600 groups of wind data. To utilize this feature and connect to a PC for real-time measurement or data download, use the provided USB cable and software (available via CD or download link).

• Premere RICORDA to start/stop data recording.
• Premere LEGGERE A view dati registrati.
• Connect the main unit to your PC using the USB cable. Install the provided software to access recorded data and real-time measurements.

5. Manutenzione

• Pulizia: Pulire il dispositivo con un panno morbido e asciutto. Non utilizzare detergenti abrasivi o solventi.
• Magazzinaggio: Store the anemometer in its carrying case in a dry, cool environment when not in use for extended periods. Remove the battery if storing for a long time to prevent leakage.
• Sostituzione del sensore: The separated wind speed sensor can be replaced if it becomes damaged, extending the service life of the main unit. Contact customer support for replacement parts.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

• Il dispositivo non si accende: Controllare che la batteria da 9 V sia installata correttamente e abbia una carica sufficiente. Sostituirla se necessario.
• Letture imprecise: Ensure the vane sensor is clean and free from obstructions. Verify that the correct measurement units and cross-sectional area (for CFM/CMM) are selected.
• Problemi di visualizzazione: If the display is blank or shows erratic readings, try replacing the battery. Ensure the sensor cable is securely connected.
• La retroilluminazione si spegne troppo velocemente: This is a design feature to conserve battery. Press the LIGHT button to reactivate the backlight.
• Problemi di connessione al PC: Ensure the USB cable is properly connected to both the anemometer and the computer. Verify that the software is correctly installed.
