Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Extech Hot Wire CFM/CMM Thermo-Anemometer. This instrument

measures air flow and temperature by placing the sensor into an airway such as a duct or a vent. The

sensor is situated at the end of the telescoping wand for convenience. This device is shipped fully

tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service. Please visit our

website (www.extech.com) to check for the latest version of this User Guide. The Extech Instruments

indicates the Air Velocity reading. The lower LCD display indicates the temperature reading.

MAX/MIN Function

1. To begin capturing the Minimum (MIN), Maximum (MAX), and Average (AVG) readings, press

the MAX-MIN button momentarily. The RECORD icon will appear on the LCD (flashing on and

off).

2. Take readings as described previously.

3. Press MAX/MIN button again to stop recording.

4. The MAX-MIN-AVG display screens will automatically scroll from one to the next showing the

highest (MAX), lowest (MIN), and average (AVG) readings captured since the MAX-MIN button

was first pressed.

5. Press the MAX-MIN button again to continue recording. The RECORD icon will continue

flashing.

6. Press and hold the MAX-MIN button for 1 second to exit the MAX-MIN mode and return to the

normal operating screen. The MAX-MIN-AVG readings will be reset.

Battery Replacement

When the displayed battery symbol appears empty or begins to blink, replace the batteries as

soon as practical. If battery voltage is too low the meter will not switch ON. The battery compartment

is located on the rear of the instrument (behind the tilt stand) secured by one Phillips head screw.

1. Open the rear battery compartment by first swiveling out the tilt stand.

2. Remove the Phillips head screw.

3. List the compartment cover to access the batteries.

4. Replace the six ‘AA’ 1.5V batteries observing polarity.

5. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure with the Phillips head screw.

EU users are legally bound by the Battery Ordinance to return used batteries to community

collection points or wherever batteries / accumulators are sold.

Useful Equations and Conversions

Area equations

The volume of air flowing through a duct or vent can be determined by taking the area of the duct

in square units (i.e. square feet) and multiplying this value by the measured linear velocity (i.e., feet

per minute). This gives: ft/min x ft2= ft3/min (CFM)

Cubic equations

CFM (ft3/min) = Air Velocity (ft/min) x Area (ft2)

CMM (m3/min) = Air Velocity (m/sec) x Area (m2) x 60
