200-251x Totalizing Anemometer Page 6 August 2020
Open the hinged lid of the display unit and observe the count. Spin the cups clockwise until the display
increments by at least 1/10th unit to verify your connections. (A small fan can be used.)
NOTE: 96 revolutions = 0.1 mile (Model 200-2510-B)
60 revolutions = 0.1 kilometer (Model 200-2511-B)
After testing, reset the meter by pressing the Next/Reset Key.
5OPERATION
Begin a log of your readings that includes the site name, date and time of reading, and the displayed
count on the meter.
DO NOT press the Reset button when you take your readings. The counter will eventually over-run the
meter and cycle back through zero.
Make sure the cover on display unit latches when you are finished reading the meter.
6MAINTENANCE
At every visit to the site, observe whether "Low Batt" is flashing on the display. The indicator begins
flashing approximately two weeks before the battery fails. Purchase a new battery and install it before
the old one completely dies, if possible.
At annual intervals, check that the anemometer cups spin freely. A small amount of penetrating
lubricant such as WD-40 can be applied above and below the spinning hub to lubricate the bearing if
there is any symptom of sluggishness.
7BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Remove the four screws holding the display to the enclosure and lift the display out to access the
battery compartment on the back of the meter. Remove the battery cover by pushing inward and
down.
The unit is shipped with one battery, which is installed. The second battery slot is provided to allow for
installing a new battery before removing the old one, retaining count total and program data.
The unit can be run on two batteries to extend the battery life to 10 years. If two batteries are
installed, remove only one and replace it with a fresh one, then remove the other depleted battery and
replace it with a fresh one or leave the slot empty. Dispose of used batteries according to local
regulations.
If the original battery was dead, or power was accidentally removed from the unit, the unit will go into
a self-test mode when the new battery is inserted. All the segments on the LCD display will be
illuminated. Exit the self-test mode by pressing the Next key, which will then display the model number
of the meter. Depress the Next key again to ready the unit for operation. Follow the instructions in the
Programming section to restore the calibration numbers.
