What precautions should I take when measuring with the KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0?
Air Velocity
• For directional probes (MODEL 6531/6541/6561), make sure the direction mark is facing into the airflow. If unsure of the direction, slowly rotate the probe to find the maximum velocity reading.
• Omnidirectional probes (MODEL 6533/6542/6543/6551/6552) have a horizontal, 360-degree dynamic characteristic.
• Ensure that both the air velocity sensor and temperature compensation sensor are evenly exposed to the airflow under the same conditions.
• In environments with rapid air temperature changes, allow the reading to stabilize for at least 20 seconds before starting the measurement to let the probe acclimate.
Air Temperature
• The response time for temperature is faster with higher wind speeds. The normal response time is approximately 30 seconds at 1 m/s air velocity. Wait for the reading to become stable.
• When there is no airflow, the temperature reading may be higher than actual due to heat from the air velocity sensor. It is recommended to slowly wave the probe to create approx. 0.1 m/s airflow for accurate readings.
Humidity
• In extremely high humidity or with rapid temperature changes, readings may be higher than actual due to condensation on the sensor. If this occurs, allow the probe to dry in an atmosphere with 40%RH or less for 24 hours.
Pressure (for applicable models)
• Do not expose the pressure sensor to more than 75kPa of pressure.
• The operating temperature for measuring pressure is between 5°C and 40°C (41°F and 104°F).
• Perform a zero adjustment before measuring pressure. Leave both pressure ports (+) and (-) open during zero adjustment.
• The zero adjustment range is -0.5 to 0.5 kPa. An error message will display if the reading is outside this range.

How should I clean the probe of my KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0?
Dust or particles on the velocity sensor can lead to less precise readings. Regular cleaning is recommended to maintain accuracy.
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. Use only water for cleaning.
CAUTION:
• When cleaning, make sure the power is turned OFF.
• Make sure the sensor is completely dry before turning the instrument ON.
• For probes with a humidity sensor (MODEL 6531/6533), DO NOT let the humidity sensor come into contact with water. 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, as this will cause permanent damage to the humidity sensor.
• After cleaning, DO NOT place the sensor in an upward position until it is completely dry, as residual water could damage the sensor. You can use cool air to help dry it.
What should I do if my KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0 will not turn on?
The battery may be inserted with the wrong polarity. Turn off the power and re-insert the batteries correctly according to the polarity markings in the battery compartment.
What if the display on my KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0 is not visible?
The display contrast may not be set up properly. Locate the contrast adjustment dial inside the battery compartment and adjust it with a small screwdriver.
The battery level indicator is flashing on my KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0. What does this mean?
A flashing battery level indicator means the battery is low. You should turn off the instrument and replace the batteries.
My KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0 displays “[NO PROBE]”. What should I do?
This message indicates that the probe is not connected or not connected properly. Turn off the instrument and check the connection of the probe to the main body.
The screen of my KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0 is displaying “[**.*]”. What does it mean?
This indicates that the measurement is outside the measuring range of the instrument. The instrument must be used within the range stated in its specifications.
Why is my KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0 displaying “[—-]” for air velocity?
This can be caused by a few issues:
• The probe or the probe cable is not connected properly. Check the connection between the probe and the probe cable, and the cable to the main body.
• The probe or the probe cable may be damaged. If the connection is secure, contact your local representative for repair or replacement.
The air speed reading on my KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0 seems incorrect. What could be the cause?
The probe might not be facing into the wind correctly. For directional probes, make sure the wind direction indicator mark is facing directly into the airflow.
Why does my KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0 read a higher temperature with no wind?
The CLIMOMASTER cannot measure the correct temperature with no wind (less than 0.1m/s of wind) because of heat generated by the velocity sensor itself. To get an accurate reading, slowly wave the probe to create a small amount of airflow.
The response time of my KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0 seems slow. What can I do?
The instrument’s Time Constant (TC) setting may be too high. In NORMAL mode, you can set the TC to a shorter value (e.g., TC1 for a 1-second response) to make the readings more responsive.
The volumetric flow measurement on my KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0 is showing “[——-]”. How can I fix this?
This display indicates that the duct information (shape and size) required to calculate the flow rate is not stored or selected. You must go to the DUCT TYPE menu and register the duct information.
Why won’t my KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0 print?
There are several possible causes:
• Printer not connected properly: Confirm the printer connection.
• Baud Rate mismatch: Check that both the instrument and the printer are set to the same Baud Rate.
• Incorrect printer/cable: Make sure to use the optional printer (Model DPU-S245) and printer cable (Model 6000-31).
• Connection procedure: Ensure you connect the printer to the printer port, then turn on the instrument first, and then the printer.
I cannot print out the display from my KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0. What is wrong?
The display is not frozen. First, press the START/HOLD key to hold the display. Then, press the MODE key to print out.
My PC is not loading the measuring data from the KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER 6501-C0. What should I check?
• Connection: Confirm the USB connection is secure.
• Baud Rate: The Baud Rate might not be set properly. Check that both the instrument and the PC’s terminal software are set to the same Baud Rate.
• Command: Confirm you are using the correct communication command (e.g., in Hyper Terminal).
