Vane Thermo-Anemometer Datalogger

Model 451126

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Extech's Thermo-Anemometer Datalogger. This

Vane-type Anemometer can indicate Air Velocity in five units of measure: Feet per minute,

Meters per second, Miles per hour, Kilometers per hour, and Knots with Temperature

displayed in oC or oF units. The meter can also display air flow in CFM or CMM. The built-in

datalogger can record up to 2000 readings and the RS-232 interface provides PC data

transfer capability.

Operation

NOTE: For all air velocity or flow measurements, the air should pass through the vane

from back to front. The rear of the vane can be found by locating the mounting nut. The

front of the vane has the engraving "ANEMOMETER". For more accurate results, maintain

a 20oaxis of air direction with the rear of the vane (refer to Fig.2).

Air Velocity

1. Power the meter by pressing .

2. Select Air Velocity measurement

function by pressing . VEL will

appear on the LCD.

3. Press to select the desired unit

of measure (ft/min, mph, km/h, m/s or

knots)

4. Place the vane in the air flow with the

air direction matching the direction of

the arrows printed on the inner walls

of the vane. If the unit does not have the printed arrows, have the tripod mount side

of the vane facing the air flow (see Fig.2).

5. Air velocity will be displayed on the bottom line of the LCD.

Temperature

1. When the meter is measuring Air Velocity, Temperature is simultaneously being

measured by the vane's built-in type-K thermocouple.

2. Press to select °C or °F. Temperature is displayed on the upper line of the

LCD.

Air Flow

1. Power the meter by pressing .

2. Press to select airflow. FLOW will display.

3. Press to select the desired unit of measure. (CFM, CMM).

4. To enter the area value, press . The lower display line will blank waiting for

the user to program new data. Use the numeric keys to enter a new area value in

square feet. (REMINDER: if measurement is taken in inches, divide by 144 to

obtain square feet). Press when finished.

Airflow is based on the specific dimensions of the duct being measured. For the

meter to correctly measure CFM the user must input the area of the duct. Failing to

input the correct area dimensions will result in erroneous readings.

NOTE: If the AVE or the 2/3MAX display icons are displayed in the upper left hand

corner of the LCD, press until they extinguish.

5. Place the vane in the air flow (Fig.2).

6. Wait approximately 2 seconds for a stabilized Air Flow reading.

7. The equation below is used to calculate Air Flow:

AIR FLOW = (AIR VELOCITY) x (AREA)

2/3Vmax Air Flow

1. Power the meter by pressing .

2. Press to select Air Flow. FLOW will display.

3. Press to select the desired units (CFM, CMM).

4. The previously stored area value will be displayed on the upper LCD display line.

To enter a new area value press . The lower display line will blank waiting for

the user to program new data. Use the numeric keys to enter a new area value in

square feet. Press when finished.

5. Press until the 2/3V MAX icon appears on the LCD.

6. Determine the direction of the air to be measured. Move the Vane around the

center of the area being measured to read the maximum air velocity. The meter will

use the maximum reading obtained to determine the 2/3MAX Air Flow.

Average Air Flow

1. Power the meter by pressing .

2. Press to select Air Flow. FLOW will display.

3. Press to select the desired units (CFM, CMM).

4. The previously stored area value will be displayed on the upper LCD display line.

To enter a new area value press . The lower display line will blank waiting for

the user to program new data. Use the numeric keys to enter a new area value.

Press when finished.

5. Press until AVE appears on the LCD display.

6. Press to clear the upper LCD.

7. Select a measurement location. Once a point is selected and a flow measurement

is displayed, press to average the flow reading.

8. Select the next measurement location and press again to average the

reading with previous readings. The value in the upper LCD line will increment for

each reading taken to show how many readings were averaged. The max is 12

readings.

Data Hold

Press to freeze the reading. The display will hold and an 'H' will appear on the LCD.

Press again to return to normal operation.

MAX and MIN Measurements

1. Press to enter MAX mode. The meter will only display the highest reading.

2. Press again to enter the MIN. The meter will only display the lowest reading.

3. Press to exit the MAX or the MIN mode.

Datalogging

Instantaneous (One-Shot) Datalogging

To record one data point at any desired time, set the sampling rate = 0 by pressing

in the VEL mode. The previously stored reading will be displayed on the upper LCD line.

Enter a '0' sampling time and then press . Now, each time is pressed, the

present reading will be stored in non-volatile memory.

Automatic Datalogging

1. Set the Sampling rate for datalogging by pressing . The previous sample

rate will appear.

2. Enter a value from 1 to 240 seconds using the numeric keypad. Press when

done.

3. Press to begin storing readings in non-volatile memory every n seconds (n =

the value entered in step 2. above).

4. The REC icon will appear on the LCD indicating that the datalogging mode is

activated.

5. The maximum number of readings that can be stored is 2000.

6. To stop datalogging, press again. The datalogger will automatically stop

recording data when 2000 records have been stored.

See software section of this manual for instruction on viewing logged data.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If power is removed before datalogging is properly halted,

data will be lost.

Reading Stored Data Sequentially

Press , the RECORD NUMBER will briefly display on the upper LCD line before

the measurement data appears. Press to return to normal operation.

Reading Stored Data Randomly

1. Press to enter the READ mode.

2. Press and enter the number of the record in question.

3. Press again and the desired data will be displayed.

4. Press to return to normal operation.

Clearing Datalog Memory

Press and hold while powering up the meter to clear the meter's datalog

memory.
