Setting up:
1. First use a large coin to open
the battery cover at the back
of the anemometer as
indicated above.
2. Checking the correct
polarization, insert
1 x 3V (CR2032) lithium cell,
positive (+) pole up into the
battery compartment and
replace the cover.
3. When the battery is inserted,
all the segments of the LCD
and backlight will light up
briefly.
Your anemometer is now operational.
Note:
After inserting the battery, test the anemometer by blowing directly at
the Impeller for about 30 seconds. The reading on the LCD should
change. If this does not happen remove the battery, wait for 30
seconds, and re-insert the battery.
Function keys:
The anemometer uses the following keys:
MODE/
~ key: To toggle between wind speed and temperature/wind
chill display
: Power ON/OFF
: To enter the setting mode
: To turn the backlight On
+ Key
: To change operation mode
: To change parameters in setting mode
: To turn the backlight On
Selection of operation mode
There are two modes, one is wind speed, and the other is
temperature. By pressing the “MODE/
~” key the display will toggle
between the two modes.
Wind Speed Mode
The wind speed mode can be selected to 3 different display modes at
any time.
To toggle between current wind speed, maximum wind speed and
average wind speed, simply press the “+” key:
Beaufort wind scale (bft)
The Beaufort scale is displayed in bar graph (0-12). This is a system
for estimating wind force without the use of instruments based on the
visible effects of the wind on the physical environment.
Temperature/ Wind Chill Mode
The temperature/ wind chill modes can be selected to 2 different
display modes at any time.
Temperature
Wind chill
By pressing the “+” key the display will toggle between temperature
and wind chill.
Note:
When the temperature is outside the range from –29°C to +59°C,
there will be no wind chill measurement.
Wind chill
The anemometer calculates automatically wind chill, which can
provide useful information for preparing outdoor activities in cold
weather. “Wind chill” provides an indication of how cold it feels given
the combined effects of the actual air temperature and the wind
speed.
Power ON/OFF:
Press and hold down the “MODE/
~” key for 4 seconds to switch the
unit ON or OFF.
Note:
The anemometer is automatically switched OFF when no key is
pressed in 34 minutes.
Manual setting
Note:
Before entering the manual setting mode switch off the anemometer.
Press and hold down the “MODE/
~” key for about 6 seconds, the
speed unit will start flashing on the right side of the LCD when the
manual setting mode is entered.
