INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments’
DCF 8906 Digital One Piece Airflow eter with CF Display.
Please read this user’s manual carefully and thoroughly before
using the instrument.
The DCF 8906 is a professional-grade vane anemometer that
can not only measure air speeds exiting an HVAC/R system’s or
blower’s grille or register, but also convert those readings to
airflow volume measurements. The conversions are possible
because the meter makes it easy for an installer or repairman to
enter the free area dimensions of his system’s output ductwork.
The meter can record air speed readings at one point or multiple
points for up to two hours and convert those readings into
displays of average, minimum and maximum air speed or airflow
volume. The unit can hold measurements made in the dark for
later viewing in a brighter area. It also measures ambient air
temperature and displays it simultaneously with air speed or
airflow volume on a large front-panel LCD.
The DCF 8906 can display its air speed and airflow volume
measurements in Imperial or metric units and its temperature
measurements in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. A 20-minute
auto power off function (which can be disabled to enable long-
term recordings of air speed) helps extend battery life.
The DCF 8906 is powered by one 9V battery (included).

KEY FEATURE
• easures and displays air speed and airflow volume in
Imperial or metric units
• Simultaneously displays temperature in °F or °C
• One-handed operation
• Records average, minimum and maximum air speed at
a single point or multiple points
• Data hold
• Auto power off
• CE and RoHS approved
WHAT’ IN THE CA E
The DCF 8906 comes fully assembled in a custom molded
plastic case along with a “9V” battery and this user’s manual.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Figure 1 shows the labels and positions of the six control
buttons on the front of the DCF 8906. The figure also shows
all possible indications on the LCD below the control panel.
Familiarize yourself with the buttons’ functions and the
meanings of the display indications before moving on to the
Setup Instructions.

ETUP IN TRUCTION
INSTALL BATTERY
The meter’s battery compartment is accessible from the back
of the unit. Use a Philips-head screwdriver to remove the one
screw holding the battery compartment cover in place.
Remove the cover and set it aside. Then plug the included 9V
battery into the wired socket inside the compartment. The
terminals of the battery and the socket mate in only one way,
with the smaller male terminal plugging into the larger female
terminal. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure
it with the Philips-head screw.
OPERATING IN TRUCTION
MAKING BASIC AIR SPEED MEASUREMENTS
To power on the meter, press the ON-OFF ESET button. The
beeper (which cannot be disabled) will sound once and all
display indications will appear briefly. After a few seconds,
the readings on the upper and lower displays will stabilize.
By default, the upper display reads out air speed in ft/m and
the lower display reads out temperature in degrees
Fahrenheit. These Imperial system defaults are reflected by
three indications (Fig. 2): vel (at upper left), ft/m (to the right
of the air speed digits) and °F (to the right of the temperature
digits).

DIRECTION OF AIRFLOW
Fig. 2. The meter’s default initial display after being
powered on
To make an air speed measurement, place the meter in the
airstream leaving the HVAC system duct or register. Be sure to
orient the meter so its vanes are centered in the stream and
its axes are as perpendicular to the stream as possible
(Fig.3).
Fig. 3. How to orient the meter
The upper display will read out the real-time air speed in
units of ft/m.
