Setting-up

Supplying Power to the VELOCICALC Plus

The VELOCICALC Plus can be powered in one of two ways: four size AA

batteries or the optional AC adapter.

Installing the Batteries

Insert four AA batteries as indicated by the diagram located on the

inside of the battery compartment. The VELOCICALC Plus is designed

to operate with either alkaline or NiCd rechargeable batteries. Battery

life will be shorter if NiCd batteries are used. Carbon-zinc batteries are

not recommended because of the danger of battery acid leakage.

Table 2-1 Typical Battery Life at 20°C

Air Velocity Alkaline

(ft/min) (m/s) (hrs)

100 0.5 >8.0

5000 25.0 5.0

Using the Optional AC Adapter

When using the AC adapter, the batteries (if installed) will be bypassed.

The AC adapter is not a battery charger.

Selecting the Display Units

The VELOCICALC Plus is capable of displaying the measured values in

several different measurement units. To change the display units on your

VELOCICALC Plus, refer to Appendix B, DIP Switch Settings.

Using The Telescoping Probe

The telescoping probe contains the velocity, temperature, and humidity

sensors (humidity sensor, Models 8386 and 8386A only). The probe can be

used either mounted to the VELOCICALC Plus or held in your hand. If the

probe is to be used mounted to the VELOCICALC Plus, install it pointing

upward in the probe mounting brackets. When using the probe, make sure

the sensor window is fully exposed and the orientation dimple is facing

upstream.

4Chapter 2

Extending The Probe

To extend the probe, hold the handle in one hand while pulling on the

probe tip with the other hand. Do not hold the cable while extending

the probe as this prevents the probe from moving.

Retracting The Probe

To retract the probe, hold the handle in one hand while pushing on the

probe tip with the other hand. If you feel the probe antenna binding,

pull gently on the probe cable until the smallest antenna section is

retracted. Collapse the rest of the antenna by pressing the probe tip.

Articulating Probe (Models 8384A/8385A/8386A Only)

The articulating probe has the ability to bend at a 90° angle for those

hard to reach places. To bend the probe, loosen the knurled nut on the

joint, bend the probe, and tighten the nut. To straighten the probe,

loosen the nut, straighten the probe, and tighten the nut.

Setting the Real-Time Clock

The VELOCICALC Plus has an internal real-time clock that keeps track of

the time of day (the format is HH.MM where HH is the hour in 24-hour

format and MM is minutes) and the date. It is very important to set the

time and date correctly, otherwise date and time stamping of recorded data

will not be correct.

To set the time and date, press and hold both ▲and ▼keys during the

power-up sequence when the time is displayed. Release the keys when the

VELOCICALC Plus beeps twice. You will have an opportunity to view and/or

change the hours, minutes, year, month, and day of month in sequence. Use

the up and down arrow keys (▲▼) to change any settings. Use the ENTER

key to store each setting and advance to the next one.

Changing the Baud Rate

The VELOCICALC Plus has a variable baud rate that is used when

downloading or printing data from the instrument. By changing the baud

rate to a higher rate, the data will be downloaded faster.

The instrument baud rate is displayed during the initial power up sequence.

To change the baud rate, press and hold both ▲and ▼keys during the

power-up sequence while the baud rate is displayed. Release the keys when

the VELOCICALC Plus beeps twice. Use the ▲and ▼keys to scroll through

the available values of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200. Press ENTER to

set the value that is displayed.

Setting-up 5

Connecting the Optional Model 8925 Portable Printer

To connect the Model 8925 printer to the VELOCICALC Plus, locate the

Printer Interface Cable (supplied with the optional printer) and connect the

9-pin end labeled “PRINTER” to the printer and the other end to the data

port of the VELOCICALC Plus. The printer must be set to the same baud rate

as the VELOCICALC Plus. See Changing the Baud Rate section for details

on how to change the baud rate. Always turn theVELOCICALC Plus on

before the printer. If the printer prints question marks (??????), asterisks

(******), or random characters, reset it by turning it off and then on again.

If necessary, refer to the Model 8925 Portable Printer Operation and

Service Manual.

Connecting to a Computer

Use the Computer Interface Cable provided with the VELOCICALC Plus to

connect the instrument to a computer for downloading stored data or for

remote polling. Connect the 9-pin end labeled “COMPUTER” to the

computer COM port and the other end to the data port of the VELOCICALC

Plus. A 9-pin to 25-pin adapter will be required if your computer has a 25-

pin serial port connector.

For more information on how to download stored data see Chapter 3 section

titled Downloading Data to a Computer. For polling instructions, see

Chapter 3 section titled Data Acquisition (Polling).
