Measurements in ventilation, air conditioning and room comfort Testo, the measurement specialist, innovates with the testo 480, a multifunction anemometer for commissioning, managing and monitoring air handling units.
At a time of new thermal regulations and the energy revolution, indoor air quality (IAQ) in buildings is a major issue, both for the production of sensitive products and for the working conditions and comfort of occupants.
Only high-performance equipment can ensure that an air handling system maintains its performance. Thanks to its wide range of probes, the testo 480 provides all the measurements needed to keep a system running smoothly. This multifunctional measuring device can be used to measure flow, radiant temperature, comfort, turbulence and CO2.
The testo 480 features an intelligent probe concept with a memory (EEPROM) to inform the user about the next calibration.
Uncertainties are stored in the probe via the software. Based on the measured value, the probe automatically corrects the display values to achieve absolute precision.
Metrological management of equipment is simplified. Only the probes concerned will need to be returned for calibration. The device will remain available for other applications.
Towards more efficient air handling systems
The testo 480 is the ideal partner for HVAC professionals in their day-to-day applications. With its dedicated C.T.A. menu, the testo 480 guides users from measurement to control of ambient conditions, to increase plant efficiency while reducing consumption:
- rapid identification of the measurement location thanks to large color display, permanent self-test, digital probes store calibration data,
- the new Easyclimate software, supplied as standard with the testo 480, enables you to draw up intervention reports using measurements taken from the SD card or the instrument's internal memory (USB),
- the trackpad for easy menu navigation,
- measurements, analyses and fast storage are carried out on site.
Intelligent probes
For measurements in ducts, the specific RLT menu guides the technician, in compliance with the standard, to the optimum setting for the installation. The probe is equipped with a telescopic handle to reach the center of the duct or hard-to-reach places.
At duct outlets, it is possible to judge the performance of extractors or supply outlets. For comfort and ambient air quality measurements, the testo 480 offers a complete range of probes.
To qualify ambient air and comfort parameters in the workplace, testo offers a wide range of probes: black ball probes, turbulence measurement probes, humidity measurement probes and equipment to ensure perfect ergonomics.
The testo 480 provides a complete, reliable diagnosis of ambient conditions to improve comfort, while optimizing the installation.
