Hot Wire Anmometer ARW-8880

Hot wire Thermo-Anemometer ARW-8880

The ARW 8880 hot wire thermo-anemometer is able to measure the speed and temperature of the air flows. The large backlit display offers easy reading with the simultaneous indication, on two lines, of the speed and temperature values as well as providing various indications. Thanks to the small telescopic probe, it is easy to use for measurements inside ducts. Supplied complete with extendable telescopic probe (from 300mm fully closed to max. 1100mm fully extended), data management software and usb cable. All inside a sturdy ABS carrying case.

Main features of the ARW-8880 Hot Wire Thermo-Anemometer

Thanks to the so-called "Hot Wire" measurement technology, the anemometer allows you to have a small measuring probe that is particularly suitable for reading inside the ducts in heating, air conditioning, extraction and ventilation systems. A small inspection hole is sufficient to insert the probe and measure.

​Another important feature is the sensitivity of this measuring principle that allows you to measure the speed of air flows with very low values ​​with a starting point of 0.2m/s, unlike the fan measuring principle which, being a rotary motion, requires a starting point of 0.4-0.5m/s.

• The 300mm telescopic probe extendable up to 1100mm becomes an important advantage in measuring ducts, grates and diffusers that are not always easy to reach.
• The instrument is equipped with a function for calculating the volumetric flow rate, simply enter the duct data (dimensions) and the expressed value of m3/h will be displayed directly on the display.
• MINIMUM, MAXIMUM AND AVERAGE READINGS calculation function.
• The ARW-8880 hot wire anemometer is supplied complete with a USB DATA INTERFACE AND SOFTWARE for managing and transferring the memory with the possibility of saving all the data on your PC.
• Multifunction with direct reading in different selectable speed measurement scales: m/s, meters per second | km/h, kilometers per hour | ft/min, feet per minute | MPH - miles per hour.
• Equipped with a microprocessor circuit that ensures maximum precision and repeatability of the measurements.
• Equipped with a “Thermistor” sensor for fast and precise temperature reading with selectable measurement scale °C / °F.

Applications of the ARW-8880 hot wire anemometer

The ARW-8880 hot wire anemometer is particularly suitable for industrial measurement, installation and maintenance of air conditioning, extraction, heating and ventilation systems in general.

• Environmental measurements in general for the analysis of HVAC microclimatic comfort.
• Measurements of air flows and flow rates in the plant sector, on diffusers, grilles and ducts for air conditioning, heating and ventilation.
• Measurement of paint booths, extractor hoods, air speed produced by cooling fans

Important Notes to Keep in Mind for the use and care of the ARW-8880 Hot Wire Anemometer

• The resistance thermometer sensor for measuring the speed of air flows is very delicate, so be careful not to subject it to very high speeds (over 25m/s) or to air flows with transport of dust or impurities, contact with these particles at high speed could damage or even break the sensor.
• Pay attention to the operating temperature which must be within the range of 0°÷50°C

Supplied as a complete kit: ready to use for your air flow velocity and volumetric flow measurements

The ARW-8880 Hot Wire Thermo Anemometer is supplied complete with a telescopic speed and temperature measuring probe (from 300mm to 1100mm), battery, ABS carrying case, USB interface cable and Software.
