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 (CR2032) 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.

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.

Measurement scale setting

1. After entering the manual setting mode, press "+" key to set the measurement scale in Km/h (Kilometers per hour), mph (miles per hour), m/s (meters per seconds) or Kts (Knots).
2. Now press the "MODE/ " key to confirm and enter the "°C and °F setting".

°C and °F setting:

1. Following from the measurement scale Setting °C will be flashing, use the "+" key to toggle °C and °F.
2. Once the desired temperature unit has been chosen, press the "MODE/ " key to confirm and enter the "Average time for current speed measurement setting".

Average time for current speed measurement setting

The current wind speed can be measured in average wind speed in a time interval of 2-10 seconds

1. Following from the °C and °F Setting, press "+" key to set the desired average time. The range runs from 2 to 10 seconds.
2. Once the desired average time has been chosen, press the "MODE/ " key to confirm and back to the normal mode.

LCD backlight

The LCD backlight is automatically switched ON when any one of the 2 function keys are pressed and held down for 2 seconds. The backlight will be switched on for approximately 8 seconds before automatically switching OFF.

Battery change

It is recommended to replace the battery in the unit on an annual basis to ensure optimum accuracy of this unit.

Please help in the preservation of the environment.
Return used batteries to an authorized depot.

Maintenance

• Avoid placing anemometer in areas prone to vibration and shock as these may damage and inaccurate readings.
• Avoid exposure to sudden changes in temperature such as direct sunlight, extreme cold and wet or moist conditions.
• When cleaning the display and casing, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or souring agents as they may mark the LCD and casing.
• Do not make or attempts to make any repairs to the anemometer. Return it to its original point of purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate its warranty.
