INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing General Tools & nstruments’ DAF800 Mini Digital
Airflow Meter. Please read this user’s manual carefully and thoroughly before
using the product.
The DAF800 is an inexpensive one-piece vane anemometer that can accurately
measure airflow speeds in ducts and at input and output grilles of HVAC/R
systems.
KEY FEATURES
• Five available air velocity units: ft./min, m/sec, kmph, mph, knots
• Low-friction ball vane wheels provide high accuracy at all air speeds
• Min/max memory + data hold
• 10-minute Auto Power Off (disabled during Min/Max recording sessions)
2
• Small and light enough for one-handed operation
• ncludes wrist strap
• CE and RoHS approved
• 1 year limited warranty
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
The meter comes in a white box along with this user’s manual. A “9V” battery
to power the unit is
not
included.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL BATTERY
To open the battery compartment, turn the meter over and use a small Phillips-
head screwdriver to loosen and remove the single screw securing the battery
compartment cover. Plug a “9V” battery into the wired socket inside the
compartment. The terminals of the battery and the socket mate in only one
way, with the smaller male terminal plugging into the larger female terminal.
Secure the battery compartment by replacing its cover and reinstalling and
tightening the Phillips-head screw.
Complete setup by carefully removing the plastic film protecting the LCD.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MEASURING REAL-TIME AIR SPEEDS
To begin, press the front-panel
Power
button. The meter will respond by
sounding a single beep. Then press the
Uni
button below it one or more times
to choose from among five widely used air speed units. The options are (in the
button-press sequence):
•
Km/h
(kilometers per hour)—the factory default unit
•
M/S
(meters per second)
•
fpm
(feet per minute)
•
mph
(miles per hour)
•
Kno
(knots)
The meter will “remember” your last selection when it is powered off and will
resume using that unit upon restart. So if you always use the same unit, you
will never have to press the
Uni
button again.
To extend battery life, when operating in real-time mode the DAF800 will
automatically power itself off following any 10-minute period in which no front-
panel button is pressed. The meter will sound two beeps twice when this Auto
4
Power Off (APO) function is activated. The APO function is disabled when
operating in Min/Max recording mode (see next section).
To make a measuremen
, position the vane at the top of the meter
perpendicular to the source of air or wind. Allow time for the reading to
stabilize. t makes no difference whether the front of back of the vane faces
the wind or air flow.
To hold any reading
(“freeze” the display), press the
Hold
button. To release
the hold and resume displaying real-time values, press the
Hold
button again.
This function is very useful for making measurements in low light or when the
source of air or wind is above your head, below your knees or around a corner.
You can make a measurement, hold it, and then read the display up to
10 minutes later after positioning the LCD at eye level.
RECORDING AND DISPLAYING
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM SPEEDS
The DAF800 can record the maximum and minimum (fastest and slowest) air
speed values measured over a user-selectable period of time. The Min/Max
recording function is handy for noting fluctuations in the output of a fan over
time.
During these recording sessions, the meter’s Auto Power Off function is
disabled to enable recording for longer than 10 minutes. The only limit on
recording duration is remaining battery life.
To begin recording Max and Min readings
, first position the vane in the flow of
air or wind and then press the
Max./Min.
button on the right side of the front
panel. f you begin recording before positioning the vane, your Min. reading will
always be recorded as
0.0
(zero).
Pressing the
Max./Min.
button will cause the term
REC
to appear at the top left
of the LCD. The meter will continue to record Max and Min values—but display
real-time values—until you press the
Max./Min.
button again.
To display he maximum air speed
measured during the current recording
session, briefly press the
Max./Min.
button. (
Do no
press and hold the button;
this will stop recording). The LCD will display the maximum value below the
term
Max
on the top line. 5
To display he minimum air speed
measured during the current recording
session, briefly press the
Max./Min.
button again. (Again, do not press and
hold the button.) The LCD will now display the minimum value below the term
Min
on the top line.
Once you have pressed the
Max./Min.
button with
REC
on the top line, you
cannot resume displaying real-time readings without ending the recording
session.
To end the recording session, press and hold the
Max./Min.
button. This will
cause the
REC
term to disappear. The meter will then resume displaying
real-time air speed measurements.

MAINTENANCE TIPS
When the icon appears in the upper left corner of the LCD, it’s time to
change the meter’s “9V” battery (although measurements will remain valid for
several hours after the icon first appears). To change the battery, follow the
Setup nstructions on p. 4.
Remove the battery if you do not expect to use the meter for an extended
period of time (months or years).
Do not drop or disassemble the meter or immerse it in water.
To clean the housing or LCD, use a dry or damp cloth. Avoid using chemical
cleaners.
