HVAC multi-probe anemometer

July 2016 Sensors & Transducers

French manufacturer Kimo has designed the versatile VT200 air velocity and airflow control device that is available in six different configurations.

Easy to read with a large graphic display and blue backlight, the VT200 is accurate and user friendly with a joystick for fast navigation. It can measure and record 8 000 values which can be transferred to a PC via wireless connection.

The multi-probe data logging system unit can be supplied with:

• A14 mm diameter vane probe for direct measurement in pipes from 0,8 to 40 m/s and from 0 to 99 999 m^³/h.

• 70 and 100 mm diameter vane probes (wired or wireless) for detection of air direction and built-in temperature probe for vent control from 0,2 to 35 m/s and from 0 to 99 999 m^³/h.

• Standard and gooseneck shaped telescopic hotwire for very low airflow control, pipe and vent cartography. The probes allow accurate measurements while carrying out scanning averages.

• Vane and hotwire probes can be used with cones and are available in different dimensions in order to measure airflow on a vent or mechanical air control speed. The dimensions are pre-programmed on the VT software, allowing quick access and direct reading of airflow during measurement dataset.

• Pt100 temperature probes for measurement from -50 to 250°C.
