User Manual Model 45158 Mini Hygro Thermo-Anemometer Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of Extech’s Model 45158 Anemometer. The dual display indicates Air Velocity and Humidity, Dew Point, Ambient Temperature, or Temperature with wind-chill factor. With careful use, this meter will provide years of reliable service.
Operation Turning the meter ON and OFF
• Press the ON/OFF/HOLD button to turn the meter ON • Press and hold the ON/OFF/HOLD buttons for approx. 3 seconds to turn it OFF
• The meter’s Auto Power OFF feature turns the meter OFF after 10 minutes of inactivity
Change the lower display parameter
• With the meter ON, press and hold down the ON/OFF/HOLD button
• While continuing to hold the ON/OFF/HOLD button, press the UNITS/MODE button
repeatedly to step through Temperature (oF/oC), Humidity (RH%), Dew Point (TD), & Temperature with wind-chill factor (WCI). Note that the center display is Air Velocity.
Change the Air Velocity unit of measure
• Turn the meter OFF. Press and hold down both buttons until the display turns on and begins
blinking then release both buttons
• Press the UNITS/MODE button repeatedly to step through the units (see specs for list)
• After 5 seconds the meter switches back to normal operation mode automatically
Select temperature units (oC or oF)
• Turn the meter OFF first. Press and hold down both buttons until the display turns on and
begins blinking then release the buttons
• Press both buttons momentarily to change temperature units
• After 5 seconds the meter switches back to normal operation mode automatically
Taking Measurements
• Position the meter so that the airflow enters the meter vane from the rear of the meter
(opposite side of front panel logo). A tripod mount is located on the bottom of the meter.
Max Hold
• Max Hold represents the highest measurement taken since the meter was turned on
• Press the UNITS/MODE button to display the Max reading (MAX icon appears)
• Press the UNITS/MODE button repeatedly to step through to the normal operating mode
Average mode
• 5 or 10 reading averages can be displayed in the Average Mode.
• Press UNITS/MODE 3 times for 5 reading averaging or 4 times for 10 readings
• To exit this mode, press the UNITS/MODE button until the icons on the left disappear
Data Hold
• Data Hold freezes the most recent displayed reading
• Press and hold the ON/OFF/HOLD button to activate Data Hold

Maintenance Battery Replacement
The 45158 has a low battery indicator (battery symbol). Important: Turn the meter off before opening the battery compartment. Using a coin, turn the battery compartment cover
CLOCKWISE to remove it. Once opened, observe the position of the battery, placing the new one in the same position. Secure the battery compartment cover and dispose of the lithium battery in accordance with local, state, or national disposal codes.
Impeller Replacement
• Remove the set screw next to the impeller assembly (on the rear of the meter). • Twist the impeller assembly counter-clockwise to the OPEN position and remove it. • Install impeller by inserting & twisting the new impeller assembly clockwise • Tighten the set screw.
CFM Measurements
Measure the area of the duct using the diagrams below for rectangular and circular ducts (If the duct measurements are made in inches, divide the inches by 144 to get the area in square feet). Plug the area value (in square feet) in the cubic equations below. Note that the air velocity must be plugged into the cubic equations also.
CFM (ft
3
/min) = Air Velocity (ft/min) x Area (ft
2
)
CMM (m
3
/min) = Air Velocity (m/sec) x Area (m

) x 60
