5.2. Attaching the Probe

The telescopic hot-wire probe connects to the main unit via a cable.

1. Carefully insert the probe's connector into the designated port on the main unit.
2. Ensure the connection is firm to prevent signal loss during measurement.

5.3. Engegada inicial

Premeu el botó d'engegada (⑂) to turn on the device. The display will illuminate, and the device will perform a self-test before showing measurement readings.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

6.1. Extending the Telescopic Probe

The probe can be extended up to 1 meter for reaching measurement points.

1. Gently pull the probe tip to extend it to the desired length.
2. Eviteu una força excessiva per evitar danys.
3. Ensure the probe is fully retracted when not in use to protect the sensor.

6.2. Modes de mesura

The TA300 can measure air velocity, temperature, and volumetric flow.

• Air Velocity (VEL): The primary measurement displayed in m/s, ft/min, km/h, or mph.
• Temperatura (TEMP): Measured simultaneously with air velocity, displayed in °C or °F.
• Volumetric Flow (FLOW): Calculated based on air velocity and a user-defined cross-sectional area.

6.3. Canvi d'unitats

Premeu la tecla "Unitat" button to cycle through available measurement units for velocity and temperature.

6.4. Setting Volumetric Flow Area

To measure volumetric flow, you must input the cross-sectional area of the duct or opening:

1. Premeu la tecla "FLOW/TEMP" button to switch to volumetric flow mode.
2. Use the "CONFIGURACIÓ" button to enter the area setting menu.
3. Adjust the area value using the arrow buttons and confirm with "Entra".

6.5. Using Hold, Min/Max, and Mean Functions

• Manteniu: Premsa "MANTENIM/ZERO" to freeze the current display reading. Press again to release.
• Mínim/Màxim: Premsa "MAX/MIN"a view the minimum or maximum recorded values during a measurement session.
• Mitjana: Premsa "MITJANA" to calculate and display the average value over a period or series of spot measurements.

7. Manteniment

7.1. Neteja

Mantingueu el dispositiu net per garantir un rendiment òptim.

• Netegeu la unitat principal amb un suau, damp tela. No utilitzeu netejadors abrasius ni dissolvents.
• The hot-wire sensor on the probe is delicate. Clean it only with a soft brush or compressed air, if absolutely necessary, and with extreme care. Avoid touching the sensor directly.

7.2. Emmagatzematge

When not in use, store the TA300 in its protective carrying case in a dry, dust-free environment, away from extreme temperatures.

• Ensure the telescopic probe is fully retracted before storage.
• Traieu la bateria si no heu d'utilitzar el dispositiu durant un període prolongat per evitar fuites.
