FAQ's of AVM410-AVM420-AVM440 Alnor Velometer Thermal Anemometer:
Q: How do I use the data hold function on the AVM410, AVM420, or AVM440?
A: To activate the data hold function, simply press the dedicated 'Hold' button during measurement. This will freeze the current reading on the display, allowing you to record or review it without interference from fluctuating air velocities.
Q: What models come with a backlight and USB connectivity?
A: The availability of a backlight and USB interface depends on the model. The backlight feature and USB connectivity are available on the AVM440, allowing for convenient operation in low-light environments and easy data transfer.
Q: When should I select auto power off and how does it benefit me?
A: The user-selectable auto power off function conserves battery life by automatically turning off the device after a period of inactivity. It's particularly useful when conducting multiple measurements throughout the day, ensuring the instrument is ready for use whenever needed.
Q: Where can the AVM series anemometers be used safely?
A: These anemometers are designed for use in indoor and sheltered outdoor environments, at operating altitudes up to 2000 meters. They are suitable for air and non-explosive gases in HVAC, laboratories, cleanrooms, and industrial facilities.
Q: What is the process for recalling data stored in memory?
A: To recall stored data, use the interface buttons to cycle through recorded readings on the device's LCD. For models equipped with USB connectivity, data can be transferred to a computer for further analysis.
Q: How does the AVM series ensure measurement accuracy?
A: The AVM410, AVM420, and AVM440 utilize a high-precision thermal sensor that offers accuracy of 3% of reading or 3 ft/min (whichever is greater), across a wide range of 0 to 6000 ft/min. This provides reliable results for critical air velocity and flow assessments.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using a thermal anemometer like the AVM series?
A: Thermal anemometers such as the AVM series deliver quick, precise measurements with minimal user intervention, offer easy data handling, and operate efficiently in varied conditions. Their portability, durability, and user-friendly features make them an excellent choice for professionals needing accurate, repeatable airflow assessments.
