1. Before use, observe whether the pointer of the meter refers to the zero point. If there is an offset, gently adjust the mechanical adjustment screw of the meter to return the pointer to zero point;
2. Put the correction switch in the off position
3. Insert the measuring rod plug into the socket, the measuring rod is placed vertically upwards, the screw plug is pressed tight to seal the probe, the “correction switch” is placed at the full position, and the “full adjustment” knob is slowly adjusted to make the meter pointer full. Degree position
4. Set the “correction switch” to “zero position” and slowly adjust the “coarse adjustment” and “fine adjustment” two knobs to make the meter pointer point at the zero point.
5. After the above steps, gently pull the screw plug to expose the probe (the length can be selected according to the need), and make the red dot on the probe face the wind direction. According to the meter reading, check the calibration curve to find out. Measured wind speed
6. After measuring a few points (about 10 minutes), the above steps 3 and 4 must be repeated to standardize the current in the meter. After the test, the “correction switch” should be placed in the off position. An anemometer that converts a flow rate signal into an electrical signal that also measures fluid temperature or density. The principle is that a thin wire (heating wire) that is heated by electricity is placed in the airflow, and the heat dissipation amount of the hot wire in the airflow is related to the flow velocity, and the heat dissipation causes the temperature of the hot wire to change, causing the resistance change, and the flow rate signal is converted into electric signal.
It has two modes of operation:
1 constant flow type. The current through the hot wire remains unchanged. When the temperature changes, the resistance of the hot wire changes, and thus the voltage across the two changes, thereby measuring the flow rate;
2 thermostatic. The temperature of the hot wire remains the same, such as maintaining 150 ° C, the flow rate can be measured according to the current applied. The thermostatic type is more widely used than the constant current type. The length of the hot wire is generally in the range of 0.5 to 2 mm, and the diameter is in the range of 1 to 10 μm. The material is platinum, tungsten or platinum-rhodium alloy. If a thin metal film (thickness less than 0.1 micron) is used instead of the metal wire, it is a hot film anemometer, which functions similarly to the hot wire, but is mostly used to measure the liquid flow rate. In addition to the ordinary single line type, the hot line can also be a combined two-wire or three-wire type to measure the velocity component in all directions. The electric signal output from the hot line is amplified, compensated and digitized and input into the computer, which can improve the measurement accuracy, automatically complete the data post-processing process, and expand the speed measurement function, such as simultaneously completing the instantaneous value and the time average value, the combined speed and the sub-speed, and the turbulence. And measurement of other turbulence parameters. Compared with pitot tube, hot wire anemometer has small probe volume and small interference to flow field; fast response, can measure unsteady flow rate; can measure very low speed (such as as low as 0.3 m / s).
