Display.

Air Flow (Volume) Measurements (CFM / CMM)

1. Connect the sensor to the sensor input jack on top of the meter.

2. Turn on the meter using the on-off button.

3. Select the FLOW mode using the UNITS button. Press the button repeatedly until the LCD

displays FLOW CFM (cubic feet per minute) or FLOW CMM (cubic meters per minute) as

desired.

4. Measure the dimensions of the duct or vent in question and calculate the area in square feet or

square meters

Note: If the dimensional measurements are made in inches (or cm), convert them feet (or meters)

before calculating the square area.

area value in memory.

9. Place the sensor in the air current to be measured with the symbol on the inlet side of the

vane.

10. View the air flow and temperature readings on the LCD Display.

11. If the CFM or CMM reading exceeds 9999, the display will show the X10 or X100 multiplier in

the lower right hand corner of the LCD indicating that the displayed value must be multiplied by

10 or 100 to arrive at the correct flow measurement value.

Non-contact IR Surface Temperature Measurements

The built-in IR sensor can remotely measure the temperature of just about any surface. The Laser

pointer allows the user to aim accurately when taking remote measurements.

1. Turn ON the meter using the on-off button.

2. The IR sensor is located at the top of the meter.

3. Point the sensor toward the surface to be measured.

4. Press and hold the IRT button to begin measuring the surface

temperature of a desired target. IR TEMP and will appear on

the display. The laser pointer will switch on to help aim the meter.

5. The measured IR surface temperature will appear on the LCD.

The temperature displayed is the temperature of the area within

the spot.

6. When the IRT button is released, the laser pointer will switch off

and the reading will freeze (data hold) on the display for

approximately 7 seconds.

7. After the 7 second hold time the meter returns to the Air

Velocity/Flow and Air Temperature mode.

WARNING: Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer at an eye. Low power visible lasers

do not normally present a hazard, but may present some potential for hazard if viewed directly for

extended periods of time.

Data Hold

1. The HOLD button in the upper keypad area freezes the displayed vane temperature reading.

Press again to unlock the display.

2. The HOLD button in the lower keypad area freezes the displayed air velocity or air flow

measurements. Press again to unlock the display.

3. The HOLD indicator will appear on the LCD when the display is in Data Hold mode.

MIN-MAX-AVG Recording Modes

The HD300 has several MIN-MAX-AVG modes described separately below. MIN-MAX-AVG

functions are available for all measurements made with the vane sensor (air velocity, air flow, and

air temperature).

Continuous Moving Average

In the Continuous Moving Average mode the meter displays the continuous average of the

measured readings for up to a 10 hour period.

1. Turn the meter ON.

2. Place the sensor in the air stream.

3. Press the MAX-MIN button in the lower keypad area for air velocity / flow.

4. Press the MAX-MIN button in the upper keypad area for air temperature.

5. The meter will begin averaging readings once per second.

Single Point Min-Max-Avg

In the Single Point Average Mode the meter takes a reading once per second and stores the

highest, lowest, and average readings.

1. Turn the meter ON.

2. Place the sensor in the air stream.

3. Press the MAX-MIN button (lower keypad area for air velocity/flow; upper keypad

area for air temperature) to enter the REC mode and display only the highest reading

(display will show REC MAX).

4. Press again to view the MIN value (display will show REC MIN). Now the display will

show only the lowest reading.

5. Press again to view the AVG value (display will show REC AVG).

6. To return to normal operation mode, press and hold the MAX-MIN button until two

tones are heard.

Multi-point Average

In the Multi-Point Average Mode the meter averages up to 20 Air Velocity readings.

1. Turn the meter ON.

2. Press and hold the AVG button for 2 seconds (until two beeps are heard). A ‘0’ will

display in the upper right hand corner of the LCD and ‘AVG’ will appear on the

bottom of the LCD.

3. Place the sensor in the air stream under test.

4. Press the AVG button momentarily to capture the reading (a single tone will be

heard) and the HOLD and AVG icons will appear on the bottom of the LCD. The ‘0’

that was displayed previously will increment to ‘1’. This number will increment with

each successive press of the AVG button.

5. Take more readings (up to a maximum of 20) in the same fashion as described in

step 4.

6. The LCD will display the average of all the readings taken since the multi-point mode

was accessed in step 2.

7. To return to normal operation, press and hold the AVG button for 2 seconds (until

two tones are heard).

8. To clear the stored readings after exiting the Multi-point Average mode, press the

AREA button once.

Battery Replacement

When the battery icon appears on the LCD, the 9V battery must be replaced.

1. The battery compartment is located on the rear of the meter.

2. Press in and down on the arrow located above the tilt stand hinge.

3. Replace the 9V battery and the battery cover

You, as the end user, are legally bound (EU Battery ordinance) to return all used

batteries, disposal in the household garbage is prohibited! You can hand over your

used batteries / accumulators at collection points in your community or wherever batteries /

accumulators are sold!

Disposal: Follow the valid legal stipulations in respect of the disposal of the device at the

end of its lifecycle

Auto Power OFF override

The HD300 is programmed to turn off automatically after idling for 15 minutes. This is designed to

save battery life in the event the meter is left ON inadvertently. (Note: When the meter is in the

“CFF/CMM” or “Average” mode, Auto Power Off is disabled.)

To over-ride this feature:

1. Turn the meter OFF

2. Turn the meter ON while holding down the IRT button.

3. Release the button when appears in the display.

4. The meter will now remain ON until the user manually turns if OFF.

5. The next time the meter is turned OFF the Auto Power OFF function will be re-activated.

USB PC Interface and Software

The HD300 is equipped with a communication jack on its upper left side. The supplied

communications cable connects to this jack and to a USB port on a PC. The supplied software

allows the user to view and save readings to the PC. Instructions for use and features are detailed

in the supplied software HELP utility.

IR Theory

IR thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The meter’s optics sense emitted,

reflected, & transmitted energy that is collected and focused onto the meter’s detector. The meter’s

circuitry translates this information into an LCD reading.

InfraRed Measurement Considerations

When taking IR measurements the meter automatically compensates for ambient temperature

changes. Note that it may take up to 30 minutes to adjust to extremely wide ambient changes.

Low temperature measurements quickly followed by high temperature measurements may

require several minutes to stabilize as a result of the IR sensor cooling process.

If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc., clean before taking

measurements.

If an object's surface is highly reflective apply masking tape or flat black paint before measuring.

Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can obstruct measurements.

To find a hot spot, aim the meter outside the area of interest then scan across (in an up and

down motion) until the hot spot is located.

IR measurements cannot be made through glass.

IR Field of View

Ensure that the desired target is larger than the spot size. As the distance from an object increases,

the spot size of the area measured by the meter becomes larger. The meter’s field of view ratio is

30:1, meaning that if the meter is 30 inches (cm) from the target, the diameter (spot) of the object

under test must be at least 1 inch (cm). Refer below to the field of view diagram.

Emissivity

Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95. Inaccurate

readings will result when measuring shiny or polished surfaces. To compensate, cover the surface

under test with masking tape or flat black paint. Allow time for the tape to reach the same

temperature as the material underneath then measure the temperature of the tape or the painted

surface.
