1. അൺപാക്ക് ചെയ്യുന്നു: പാക്കേജിംഗിൽ നിന്ന് എല്ലാ ഘടകങ്ങളും ശ്രദ്ധാപൂർവ്വം നീക്കം ചെയ്യുക. പാക്കിംഗ് ലിസ്റ്റിൽ ലിസ്റ്റ് ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്ന എല്ലാ ഇനങ്ങളും ഉണ്ടെന്നും കേടുപാടുകൾ സംഭവിച്ചിട്ടില്ലെന്നും പരിശോധിക്കുക.
2. Manometer Fluid Filling: If the manometer is not pre-filled, carefully add the specified manometer fluid (typically included) to the reservoir until it reaches the indicated zero mark. Refer to the specific instructions on the manometer itself for precise filling procedures. Avoid overfilling or introducing air bubbles.
3. ട്യൂബിംഗ് കണക്ഷൻ: Connect one end of the flexible tubing to the high-pressure port of the manometer and the other end to the total pressure port of the pitot tube. Connect a second piece of tubing from the low-pressure port of the manometer to the static pressure port of the pitot tube. Ensure all connections are secure and airtight.
4. Pitot Tube Placement: Position the pitot tube in the airflow stream at the desired measurement point. Ensure the tip of the pitot tube is facing directly into the airflow for accurate readings.
5. Leveling the Manometer: Place the manometer on a stable, level surface or mount it securely. Use the integrated leveling bubble (if present) or a separate level to ensure the manometer is perfectly horizontal. This is critical for accurate inclined manometer readings.

പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

1. സീറോ അഡ്ജസ്റ്റ്മെന്റ്: Before taking any measurements, ensure the manometer fluid level is at the zero mark when no pressure is applied. Adjust the zeroing knob if necessary.
2. വായനകൾ എടുക്കുന്നു: With the pitot tube correctly positioned in the airflow, observe the fluid level in the manometer. The difference in fluid height indicates the differential pressure.
3. Velocity Calculation: Use the provided air velocity calculation chart or formula (typically printed on the manometer or in accompanying documentation) to convert the differential pressure reading (in inches of water) into air velocity (e.g., feet per minute or meters per second). This calculation often requires knowing the air density, which can vary with temperature and atmospheric pressure.
4. ഒന്നിലധികം വായനകൾ: For improved accuracy, take several readings at different points within the airflow duct or area and average them.
5. പാരിസ്ഥിതിക പരിഗണനകൾ: Ensure the operating environment is within the specified temperature and humidity ranges for the instrument to maintain accuracy.

മെയിൻ്റനൻസ്

• ദ്രാവക നില പരിശോധന: Regularly check the manometer fluid level and replenish if necessary. Use only the manufacturer-specified fluid.
• വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Keep the manometer and pitot tube clean. Use a soft, damp cloth for the exterior. Ensure the pitot tube openings are free from obstructions.
• ട്യൂബിംഗ് പരിശോധന: Periodically inspect the connecting tubing for cracks, kinks, or leaks. Replace damaged tubing immediately to prevent inaccurate readings.
• സംഭരണം: When not in use, store the instrument in its protective carrying case in a clean, dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Ensure the manometer fluid is secured to prevent spillage.
• കാലിബ്രേഷൻ: For critical applications, periodic calibration by a qualified service center is recommended to maintain measurement accuracy.

ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ടിംഗ്

• No Reading or Erratic Readings:
  • Check for kinks or blockages in the tubing.
  • Ensure tubing connections are secure and airtight.
  • Verify the pitot tube is correctly positioned in the airflow.
  • Check manometer fluid level and for air bubbles.
  • Ensure the manometer is level.
• കൃത്യമല്ലാത്ത വായനകൾ:
  • Confirm the manometer is properly zeroed.
  • Verify the correct air density is used in velocity calculations.
  • Check for any physical damage to the pitot tube or manometer.
  • Consider professional calibration if accuracy issues persist.
