DANGER

Never bring the probe close to a flammable gas atmosphere. The heated sensor may cause a fire or explosion.

Never touch the sensor. The sensor is heated during operation. Touching the heated sensor may cause burns and may also damage the sensor itself.

Do not disassemble or heat the batteries, or put them into a fire. This may cause burns and the batteries may burst.

If abnormal noises, smells or smoke occur, or if liquid enters the instrument, turn off the instrument immediately, and remove the batteries or pull out the plug. There is a possibility of malfunction, electric shock, and/or fire. Please contact your local distributor or our service center for repair.

CAUTION

Always unplug the instrument from the electrical outlet when the instrument is not in use. Failure to do so may cause an electrical shock, fire or circuit damage.

Do not use the instrument in a water vapor atmosphere. Condensed steam on the sensor will change the heat dissipation rate, resulting in inaccurate measurements. It may also cause damage to the sensor.

This instrument is designed to be used in an environment with a clean air stream without any dust or foreign materials. Foreign materials may cause damage to the sensor. Also dust or foreign materials on the sensor will impede accurate measurements.

Do not apply force to the sensor. If the sensor is deformed, the accuracy of the sensor may be affected.

When measuring, ensure that the direction mark is facing into the airflow. Otherwise, the measurement may be inaccurate, as some sensors (uni-directional probes) have a specific directivity.

Do not use or leave the instrument in a high temperature, high humidity or dusty environment. Do not leave this instrument under direct sunlight for a prolonged period.

Do not subject the instrument or the probe to strong impacts. Dropping the unit or placing heavy objects on it may cause damage or malfunction to the instrument.

Never disassemble, modify or repair the product. Failure to observe this may cause a short circuit and/or other failures that will affect the performance.

Do not pick up or carry the instrument by the probe cable. It may cause a malfunction or the wire may break.

Remove the batteries from the battery compartment when storing the instrument for a long period. Do not leave exhausted batteries in the battery compartment. When inserting batteries be sure to insert them with the polarity facing the correct direction. Failure to do so may cause battery leakage.

Do not wipe the instrument with a volatile solvent. The body may deform or deteriorate. Use a soft dry cloth to remove stains. If stains persist, soak the cloth in a neutral detergent and wipe the instrument with the soft cloth. Never use volatile solvents such as thinner or benzene.

Discharge any built-up static electricity from your body before touching the instrument. The built-up static electricity may influence the readings and cause damage to the circuit.

Regularly check the head of the probe for contamination. Impurities (such as dust) on the sensor may affect the accuracy of the measurements. To get rid of dust, use a blow brush for cameras to blow it off, or you can rinse it with water and allow it to air-dry completely. Be sure to turn the power off before you clean it. Never dry the probe with heat, as heat may cause permanent damage to the sensor.

Do not move the main unit and the probe from a cold place to a warm place quickly, as it will cause condensation. Condensation on the sensor may cause inaccurate measurements, and condensation on metal parts may cause rusting and lead to a malfunction.

Do not touch the LCD screen with a sharp-pointed object or with excessive pressure. It may cause distortion or a malfunction of the screen.

When storing the instrument, put it in the carrying case and keep it in a place with an ambient temperature of -10 to 50°C and no condensation.

Do not dispose of the instrument as household waste. Disposal should be in line with your local or national legislation.

When the batteries need to be replaced, the indicator will start blinking. If a high velocity is measured while the indicator is blinking, the screen may freeze. A blinking empty battery icon [X] indicates a locked status where all functions are disabled. To resolve this, turn off the power and replace the batteries.

To ensure you get accurate readings from your KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-B0, please follow these precautions for different measurement types.

Air Velocity:

For directional probes (MODEL 6531/6541/6561), make sure the direction mark on the probe is facing into the airflow. If you are unsure of the direction, slowly rotate the probe to find the point with the maximum velocity reading.

For all probes, it is necessary that both the air velocity sensor and temperature compensation sensor are evenly exposed to the airflow under the same temperature conditions.

For measurements in an environment with rapid air temperature changes, wait at least 20 seconds for the reading to stabilize before starting the measurement. This allows the probe to acclimate to the new environment.

Air Temperature:

The response time for temperature measurements is faster in higher wind speeds. The normal response time is approximately 30 seconds at an air velocity of 1 m/s (90% response). Wait for the reading to become stable before taking a measurement.

When no airflow is present, the air temperature reading may be higher than the actual temperature due to heat generated by the air velocity sensor. It is recommended to SLOWLY wave the probe to create an airflow of approx. 0.1 m/s to obtain accurate temperature readings.

Humidity:

In atmospheres with extremely high humidity or rapid temperature changes, readings may be higher than the actual humidity due to condensation on the sensor surface. If this occurs, allow the probe to dry in an atmosphere with 40% RH humidity or less for 24 hours.

Pressure:

Do not expose the pressure sensor to more than 75kPa of pressure, as excess pressure may cause serious damage.

The operating temperature for pressure measurement must be between 5°C and 40°C (41°F and 104°F).

Perform a zero adjustment before measuring pressure. When doing so, leave both pressure ports (+) and (-) open.

The zero adjustment range is –0.5 to 0.5 kPa. If the reading is outside this range, an error message will be displayed.

To perform a pressure zero adjustment on applicable KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-B0 models, ensure both pressure ports are open and follow these steps:

Regular cleaning of the probe is encouraged to maintain the accuracy of your KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-B0. Dust or particles on the velocity sensor can alter heat diffusion and lead to imprecise readings.

Procedure:

Clean the sensor by soaking it in water in an ultrasonic cleaner for 10 to 20 seconds. Do not soak it for too long, as this increases the risk of damaging the coating. Please use only water for cleaning the probe.

CAUTION!

When cleaning, make sure that the power is turned OFF.

Make sure that the sensor is completely dry before turning the instrument ON. You can use cool air to help dry it.

DO NOT let the humidity sensor come into contact with water (on applicable models). If it gets wet, let it air dry in an environment with less than 40% RH for more than 24 hours.

NEVER use alcohol or any other organic fluid. Alcohol will cause permanent damage to the humidity sensor.

DO NOT place the sensor in an upward position until it is completely dry, as residual water could run down and damage the sensor.

The KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-B0 can calculate and display two additional environmental parameters:

Discomfort Index (DI): This is an index used by meteorological agencies to show how uncomfortable it is in the summertime. The instrument calculates it using the formula:

DI = 0.81T + 0.01H(0.99T – 14.3) + 46.3

Where T is Temperature (°C) and H is Relative Humidity (%RH).

DI Scale:

68: Comfortable

70: Little Uncomfortable

75: Uncomfortable

80: Very Uncomfortable

86: Cannot Endure

Dew Point Temperature (DT): This is the temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor. The instrument calculates this based on the measured temperature and humidity.

If your KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-B0 will not turn on, the battery may be inserted with the wrong polarity. Turn off the power, remove the batteries, and re-insert them correctly according to the polarity markings in the battery compartment.

If the display is not visible, the display contrast may not be set up properly. You can adjust the contrast by opening the battery cover and turning the contrast volume switch with a small screwdriver.

A flashing battery level indicator means the battery is low. You should turn off the instrument and replace the batteries.

The “[NO PROBE]” message indicates that the probe is not connected to the main unit. Turn off the instrument and ensure the probe or probe cable is securely connected.

This display indicates that the measurement is outside the instrument’s measuring range. The instrument must be used within the range stated in the specifications.

This can be caused by two issues:

1. The probe or probe cable is not connected properly. Check the connection between the probe and the probe cable, and the cable to the main unit.

2. The probe or the probe cable may be damaged. If checking the connection does not resolve the issue, contact your local Kanomax representative for repair or replacement.

If the instrument is providing incorrect air speed readings, the probe might not be facing directly into the wind. For directional probes, make sure the wind direction indicator on the probe is facing into the airflow.

The CLIMOMASTER cannot measure the correct temperature with no wind (less than 0.1m/s) because the heat from the velocity sensor can affect the temperature reading. It is recommended to create a slight airflow (e.g., by waving the probe slowly) to get an accurate temperature measurement in still air.

A slow response time is likely due to the Time Constant (TC) setting. Set the correct time constant (TC) for your measurement needs. A shorter TC (like TC1) will provide a faster response.

If the printer does not operate, check the following:

The printer is not connected properly. Confirm the printer connection.

The Baud Rate might not be set properly. Check that the instrument and printer settings match.

Ensure you are using the optional printer (Model DPU-S245) and printer cable (Model 6000-31).

Confirm the connection procedure: Connect the printer to the printer port, then turn on the instrument first, and then the printer.

To print, the display must first be frozen. Press START/HOLD to hold the display, and then press MODE to print out.

If your PC is not loading data, check the following:

Confirm the USB connection, which is different from the printer connection.

The Baud Rate might not be set properly. Check that both the instrument and PC settings match.

Confirm you are using the correct communication command (e.g., from Hyper Terminal).

If no data is being generated, check the connection and confirm the polarity. Also, the HOLD function might be active. Press START/HOLD to cancel the HOLD function.

If the output data is tiered, this is normal as data is outputted every one second.

If the output data is incorrect, check the following:

Confirm the setting for the analog output is correct for your needs.

Confirm the output range matches what you expect.

The load impedance might not be optimum. Set the load impedance on the receiving device to be larger than 5k Ω.
