Hot Wire Anemometer ( HTC – AVM-08 )

Description

HTC AVM‑08 Hot‑Wire Anemometer – Precision Airflow & Wind Speed Measurement

The HTC AVM‑08 hot‑wire anemometer is a professional handheld instrument crafted for accurate and responsive measurement of air velocity and temperature. Engineered for HVAC technicians, environmental specialists, wind energy consultants, and industrial maintenance professionals, it delivers dependable performance in both field and laboratory environments.

Ultra‑Sensitive Air Velocity & Temperature Measurement

The AVM‑08 measures air velocity from 0.10 to 25.0 m/s, with resolution of 0.01 m/s and typical accuracy of ±(5% of reading + 0.1 m/s). This high sensitivity ensures reliable detection of low-speed airflow during tests of ventilation grilles, air diffusers, or environmental air monitoring. It also simultaneously measures ambient temperature from 0 °C to 50 °C with resolution of 0.1 °C/°F and accuracy around ±1 °C/1.8 °F, making it a dual-purpose tool for thermal and airflow diagnostics.

Large Display with Backlight for Clear Readings

A super‑large LCD screen presents both velocity and temperature in real time, supported by backlighting for readability in low-light conditions. The dual reading format simplifies data interpretation during audits or field work.

Multi‑Unit Air Velocity Support

The device supports multiple measurement units for air velocity, including m/s, km/h, ft/min, mph, and knots, with appropriate resolution for each. This flexibility accommodates varied user preferences and allows compatibility across different industry requirements.

Airflow Volume Calculation (CFM / CMM / CMS)

With built-in airflow functions, users can compute volumetric flow once the duct cross-sectional area is entered. Supported formats include CFM, CMM, and CMS, which makes the AVM‑08 well-suited for HVAC balancing, airflow optimization, or indoor air quality assessments.

Max/Min, Data Hold & USB Data Output

This meter features maximum and minimum value recording and data‑hold functionality to freeze readings during measurement. It also incorporates USB connectivity, enabling real-time data transmission to PC via included software for logging, analysis, and documentation. These features support monitoring workflows and detailed reporting.

Slim Probe Design for Confined Spaces

The AVM‑08 uses a slim hot‑wire sensor probe—ideal for accessing ventilation returns, grille registers, and cramped airflow channels with minimal disruption. This compact probe advances flexibility and precision when measuring in tight spaces.

Robust Build & Portability

With dimensions of roughly 210 × 75 × 50 mm and weighing around 280 g, the HTC AVM‑08 is compact and portable. Powered by a standard 9 V battery, it provides hours of continuous use and includes auto power‑off to conserve battery life. The rugged housing makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Comprehensive Display and Indicators

The large-format display includes on-screen alerts for over‑range, low battery, and temperature units. It provides intuitive feedback on operating modes and data status, simplifying usage in various lighting conditions and testing environments.

Key Applications

The HTC AVM‑08 is perfect for a wide range of professional environments:

• HVAC diagnostics and system balancing – measuring airflow and temperature simultaneously for duct and diffuser optimization.

• Environmental and meteorological assessment, where low airflow detection is important.

• Wind tunnel testing or airflow characterization in research labs.
