922 Users Manual Table 2. Pushbuttons Pushbutton A B C D E F G H I J K L M N 6 Function Power button. Press to turn the Meter on or off. Hold for 5 seconds to display Meter’s firmware version. Activates velocity mode. See “Measuring Velocity”. Turns the backlight on and off. Activates flow mode. See “Measuring Flow”. Calculates average of stored values. Activates live Min Max Avg functions. See “Min Max Avg”. Used to increase manual inputs, scroll through memory, and to navigate the Setup menu.

922 Users Manual Table 3. Display Description 8 A Shift key is in use and secondary menu functionality is engaged B Hold is engaged C Annunciators showing that sample memory is being accessed and the number of samples D Indicates that a stored sample (or all samples) is about to be deleted from memory E Units of pressure, velocity, and flow F Units of length and temperature G Digits for temperature and setup parameters H Duct shape choices I Low battery indicator.
Airflow Meter Using the Meter Using the Meter Power To turn Meter power on or off, press O Meter power is provided by four AA batteries. To replace the batteries, see “Maintenance”. Measurement Units The Meter supports both Metric and US measurement units. Select the desired measurement type using the Setup menu. See “The Setup Menu”. Note If any measured value of any parameter is above the specified range, the Meter shows “OL”. Backlight Press C to turn on the backlight.
922 Users Manual Temperature Ambient temperature is displayed on the Meter as a reference. The temperature can be displayed in either °C or °F. See "The Setup Menu". Secondary Menu Modes Use A with other select pushbuttons to shift to secondary menu modes and functions: • Press A and then H to access the Clear functions. See “Clearing Sample Data”. • Press A and then I to access the Recall menu. See “Recall”. • Press A and then Gto access the Clear All function. See “Clearing Sample Data”.
Airflow Meter Saving Samples intermittent readings, record maximum and minimum readings while you are away or when you cannot watch the Meter. To use Min Max mode, press M. The maximum reading appears first. Each subsequent press of M steps through the minimum, average, and live readings, and back to the maximum reading. To exit Min Max mode, press Mfor approximately two seconds. When in Min Max mode, the Auto-off feature is automatically disabled.
922 Users Manual 3. Press G, P, V or F to exit calculate mode. If the memory is full (99 samples have been stored), more samples cannot be stored. If the user attempts to store another sample, the Meter flashes "Full" and does not save new readings. Measuring Differential Pressure To measure differential pressure, do the following, see Figure 3: 1. Press P to enter the pressure mode. 2. Connect a single hose to the "Input (+)" port, leaving the "Ref (-)" port unconnected. 3.

922 Users Manual Measuring Velocity The Meter uses standard ambient conditions (temperature =21.1 °C/70 °F, barometric pressure = 14.7 psia / 1013 mbar), to approximate actual velocity and flow. Velocity Measurement To measure velocity, do the following: 1. Press V to enter Velocity mode. 2. Connect the hoses to the pitot tube and to the Meter. The “Input (+)” pressure port on the Meter connects to the yellow hose from the total pressure connection of the pitot tube.

922 Users Manual Measuring Flow 1. Press F. 2. The Meter requests the duct shape and size. The Meter stores the last duct shape and size that is entered. If the duct is different than the stored version, press D or E to find the proper duct type for the measurement (rectangular or round). 3. Press I to select the duct type. 4. If the duct is rectangular, use D and E to select the X dimension and press I to store it. Use D and Eto select the Y dimension. Hold D or Eto increase the rate of change.
Airflow Meter The Setup Menu Notes HOLD, SAVE, CALCULATE, SHIFT, MIN MAX, ZERO, and SETUP UNITS can be used when measuring pressure, velocity and flow. If Por V is pressed before pressing I for the final time, the Meter will escape the flow setup process and will not save any of the selections made or values entered.
922 Users Manual 3. Press I to store the change. The Meter beeps to signal that the change has been stored. With each press of I, the menu moves to the next parameter. To exit the Setup menu without changing subsequent parameters, press P, V, or F. Clearing Sample Data The Meter stores data that periodically will need to be cleared. Individual samples or the entire data memory can be cleared.
Airflow Meter Recall 3. 4. Press I to clear all samples. The Meter beeps and the display shows 0 samples. To exit (CLEAR) or (CLEAR ALL) without deleting samples, press P, V, or F before pressing I Recall 1. 2. 3. 4. Press either P, V, or F to recall samples for that mode. Press A. Press I (RECALL) to recall samples. Use D and E to locate the desired sample. Hold E or D to increase the rate of change. Press P, V, or F to exit the Recall menu.
922 Users Manual Cleaning Clean only with soap and water. Remove any residue afterwards. Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Replacing the Batteries When the low battery symbol appears (B) the meter will not save samples and “bAtt” appears on the display when I is pressed. The Meter uses four AA batteries (supplied). To replace the batteries, do the following (see Figure 5): 1. Turn off the Meter. 2. Remove the holster. 3.
