## Description

desertcart.com The pocket-sized, four-in-one Extech 45170 hygro-thermo-anemometer-light meter displays temperature and gives you a choice between showing relative humidity or air velocity. Temperature air or surface measurements can be made using the built-in Type K input (thermocouple probe sold separately). Additionally, the 45170 includes a light sensor, and its display reverses when in light mode. Type K temperature input (probe sold separately, view larger). The 45170 features a built in thermistor for ambient temperature measurements and a precision thin-film capacitance humidity sensor for fast response. The low friction vane wheel improves accuracy when measuring air velocity in ft/min, mph, m/s, km/h, and knots.

Review: Glad that I found this tool - This gadget is accurate and so handy for energy savings calculations. The shipping was free, and the price reasonable. The product has helped in HVAC, lighting and heat recovery.
Review: THEY OMITTED the Air Velocity Measurement Range & I Broke It Instantly - Welp, I absolutely destroyed the air velocity fan within 2 seconds of using it the first time. I had searched the description for the range of speeds it measured in the , but as of 8/22/24 you can see in two places in the desertcart description above that it says "Additionally, it offers the following air velocity measurement ranges: Measurements." The word "Measurements" being a placeholder for the actual information, I suspect." A few lines down, it lists the ranges for the other 3 qualities it measures, but again, has a placeholder where the air velocity range should be. I took a chance testing out a blower, the kind for blowing dust from your garage or room. As I said, it absolutely crumpled the fans before I had the reflexes to pull the tool from the stream of air. I'd love to be able to tell you what speed you'll breaks yours at, but I can't. At least the other 3 functions work. HOPEFULLY they're Product Development team will finish the specs in the description and prevent some other poor sap from breaking a quarter of a $200 tool.

## Features

- ALL-IN-ONE DIAGNOSTIC POWER: Why carry four bulky tools when one pocket-sized powerhouse does it all? Instantly measure wind speed, humidity, temperature, and light levels with a single device designed to streamline your professional workflow.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the minimum wind speed that this anemometer can measure accurately? I'm currently looking for an anemometer that can measure wind speed <1 m/s**
A: wind speed measurement for the 407113 CFM Anemometer is:
MPH: 1.1 to 78.3
knots: 1.0 to 68
km/h: 1.8 to 126
AIRFLOW:
CFM = FT3/MIN: 0 TO 999,900 CFM
CMM= M3/MIN: 0 TO 999,900 CMM

I hope this helps your decision to buy.

**Q: Is the 9 volt battery replaceable?  Does it have a tripod mount?**
A: Yes the battery is replaceable however it is a 3V #2032. To my knowledge no tripod mount is available.

**Q: can i buy  the probe seperatly**
A: Unfortunately, you cannot purchase the probe for this unit separately.  If you change the probe on the meter, it will no longer provide accurate readings. The meter is calibrated with the probe at the factory to provide accurate reading, and the meter can only be calibrated with one probe at a time.  If the probe is damaged, you will have to send the meter in to the factory to have a new probe calibrated with the meter.
