4. Opsætning

4.1 Batteriinstallation

The AP-846A requires one 9V (6F22) battery. To install or replace the battery:

  1. Find batterirummet på bagsiden af ​​hovedenheden.
  2. Unscrew the two screws securing the battery cover.
  3. Isæt 9V-batteriet, og sørg for at polariteten vender korrekt.
  4. Sæt batteridækslet på igen, og fastgør det med skruerne.

Note: For optimal performance and to prevent leakage, use alkaline batteries and remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period.

4.2 Connecting the Vane Sensor

Connect the remote vane sensor to the main unit by plugging the USB-style connector of the coiled cable into the corresponding port on the top of the main unit.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Tænd/sluk

  • For at tænde skal du trykke på Tænd / sluk-tast (3 i figur 3).
  • For at slukke, skal du trykke på og holde nede Tænd / sluk-tast for a few seconds. The device also features an auto power-off function after 5 minutes of inactivity to save battery.

5.2 Backlight Control

Tryk på Backlight On/Off Key (12 in Figure 3) to turn the display backlight on or off. This improves visibility in low-light conditions.

5.3 Valg af enhed

The AP-846A supports multiple units for wind speed and temperature:

  • Vindhastighedsenheder: Tryk på Unit Transform Key (6 in Figure 3) to cycle through m/s, km/h, ft/min, knots, and mph.
  • Temperaturenheder: Tryk på Temperaturenhed kontakt (13 in Figure 3) to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).

5.4 Wind Speed and Temperature Measurement

To measure wind speed and temperature:

  1. Ensure the vane sensor is connected to the main unit.
  2. Tænd for enheden.
  3. Hold the vane sensor in the airflow, ensuring the air flows through the vane in the direction indicated by the arrow on the sensor.
  4. The wind speed and temperature readings will be displayed on the LCD.

5.5 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) Measurement

To measure CFM, you need to input the area of the duct or vent:

  1. Tryk på "ENHED" nøgle (6 in Figure 3) to select CFM or CMM mode.
  2. Tryk på "AREA" nøgle (14 in Figure 3), then use the number keys to enter the duct area (e.g., 1 or 2 for predefined areas, or custom input).
  3. Tryk på "ENTER" key to confirm the area.
  4. Position the vane sensor in the airflow. The CFM/CMM reading will be displayed.

Formula: Flow = Velocity * (Free Area)

5.6 MAX/MIN/AVG Measurement

Tryk på MAX/MIN Value Switch (2 in Figure 3) to cycle through maximum, minimum, and current readings. For average air flow, use the Measuring Key for Average Value of Wind Flow (8 i figur 3).

5.7 Datahold

Tryk på Data Holding Key (5 in Figure 3) to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold.

6. Vedligeholdelse

  • Hold enheden ren og tør. Tør af med en blød, tør klud.amp klæde. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler.
  • Store the anemometer in its protective carrying case when not in use to prevent damage to the vane sensor.
  • Replace the 9V battery when the low power indicator appears on the display.
  • Undgå at udsætte enheden for ekstreme temperaturer eller høj luftfugtighed.

7. Fejlfinding

  • Ingen skærm/enhed tænder ikke: Kontroller batteriinstallationen, og sørg for, at batteriet er tilstrækkeligt opladet. Udskift om nødvendigt.
  • Upræcise læsninger: Ensure the vane sensor is clean and rotates freely. Verify that the sensor is positioned correctly in the airflow, facing the direction of the flow. Check for any obstructions.
  • Displayet ændrer sig ikke: Check if the Data Hold function is activated. Deactivate it by pressing the Data Holding Key.
  • CFM/CMM Readings Incorrect: Double-check the entered duct area value. Ensure the correct units (CFM/CMM) are selected.
