5.2. Conexión de la sonda

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. Encendido inicial

Presiona el boton de poder (⑂) to turn on the device. The display will illuminate, and the device will perform a self-test before showing measurement readings.

6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

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. Evite ejercer fuerza excesiva para evitar daños.
3. Ensure the probe is fully retracted when not in use to protect the sensor.

6.2. Modos de medición

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 (TEMPERATURA): 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. Cambio de unidades

Presione el botón "Unidad" 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. Presione el botón "FLOW/TEMP" button to switch to volumetric flow mode.
2. Utilice el "CONFIGURACIÓN" button to enter the area setting menu.
3. Adjust the area value using the arrow buttons and confirm with "Ingresar".

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

• Sostener: Prensa "MANTENER/CERO" to freeze the current display reading. Press again to release.
• Mínimo máximo: Prensa "MÁXIMO/MÍNIMO" a view the minimum or maximum recorded values during a measurement session.
• Significar: Prensa "SIGNIFICAR" to calculate and display the average value over a period or series of spot measurements.

7. Mantenimiento

7.1. Limpieza

Mantenga el dispositivo limpio para garantizar un rendimiento óptimo.

• Limpie la unidad principal con un paño suave.amp Paño. No utilice limpiadores abrasivos ni disolventes.
• 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.
