1. Safety instructions
This chapter gives general rules which must be followed and observed if the
product is to be handled safely.

Avoid personal injury/damage to equipment

 Do not use the measuring instrument and probes to measure on or near live
parts.
 Never store the measuring instrument/measuring cells together with solvents
and do not use any desiccants.
Product safety/preserving warranty claims
 Operate the measuring instrument only within the parameters specified in the
Technical data.
 Always use the measuring instrument properly and for its intended purpose.

6.1.4 Probe
RadioC
Radio probes may only be used in countries in which they have been Type
Approved (see application information of the radio probe).
A radio module (accessory part) is required for the use of radio probes. The
instrument can establish a connection with a maximum of three radio probes.
Each radio probe has a probe ID (RF ID). This consists of the last 3 digits of the
serial no. and the position of the slide switch (H or L) in the radio probe.
 Setting up a radio probe:
 A radio module (accessory part) is inserted in the instrument.
 See chapter COMMISSIONING, p. 9.
 The configuration menu is open, config. is displayed.

P.2 or P.3) and confirm with OK .
- The instrument searches for switched-on radio probes in the receiving
range.
- The probe IDs of the radio probes found are displayed.
If no radio probes were found, this may be because of the following:
· The radio probe is not switched on or the battery of the radio probe is
spent.
· The radio probe is outside the range of the measuring instrument.
· Sources of interference are influencing the radio transmission (e.g.
reinforced concrete, metal objects, walls or other barriers between
transmitter and receiver, other transmitters of the same frequency,
strong electromagnetic fields).
 If necessary, rectify the possible causes of the fault in radio
transmission.
Alternatively, the probe ID can also be entered manually.

6.2.6 Parameter/Area
Some calculated variables relate to particular reference values (ambient
conditions or factors for certain probes). These can be entered by means of
calculation parameters.
Parameters used for calculating variables:
Parameters Calculated measuring variables
Temp. (reference temperature) Flow velocity, volumetric flow rate (for measurement with a
(435-3/-4 only) pitot tube)
Humid. (reference humidity) Flow velocity, volumetric flow rate (for measurement with a
(435-3/-4 only) pitot tube)
Pres. (reference pressure) Flow velocity, volumetric flow rate (for measurement with a
pitot tube or hot wire probe), heating/cooling performance (enthalpy)
Area (cross-section area) Volumetric flow rate
P-factor (pitot tube factor) Flow velocity and volumetric flow rate (for measurement with a
(435-3/-4 only) pitot tube)
abs alt. Barometric air pressure

OK

3 Press / to set the value and confirm with OK .

 6. Setting the instrument 25

 Setting the “Area” parameter / Activating shape:

de
Five areas can be stored for the “Area” parameter. Three shapes are defined
in the default setting (one rectangles: edge length a and b, one circle:

en
diameter d, any shaped area: cross-section area A). The dimensions of the
areas can be adapted in the instrument. It is possible to reassign the shapes

fr
using the PC software (435-2/-4 only).
When K-factor activated (see chapter DEVICE, p. 13): An offset factor is stored

es
for each area. If parts of an area are covered (e.g. grilles on ventilation
openings), this can be calculated out using the offset factor. What must be

it
indicated is the free part of the area (20% covered --> 80% free area -->
offset factor 0.8).

pt
For measurements made at outlets and volume flow regulators with defined
differential pressure measurement points, a component-specific correction

sv
factor (k-Vol) prescribed by the manufacturer can be entered instead of the
area input.

nl
For measurements at ventilation outlets with a funnel the parameter Funnel
must be activated. The funnel set (order no. 0563 4170) consists of a funnel

??
for measurements at plate outlets (200 x 200mm) and a funnel for
measurements at ventilation outlets (330 x 330mm) in combination with the

??
testo 435 and with the 100mm vane probe 0635 9435.

4 Press / to set the parameter(s) and confirm each one with OK .
- The settings are applied and the last shape to be set is activated.

6.2.7 Cyclical Print (435-1/-3 only)

The Cyclical Print function can be activated/deactivated. A measuring program
for cyclical printing can be programmed. This enables readings (up to 999) to
be printed in a defined measuring cycle (min. 1min). The readings are sent to a
Testo printer.

7. Measuring
This chapter describes the steps that are required to perform measurements
with the product.
Particular probes must be plugged in or switched on and registered (radio
probes) according to the variable that is to be measured.
Some probes require a warming-up phase until they are ready to measure.
For some variables additional calculation parameters have to be set if correct
measurements are to be obtained.
 See PARAMETER / AREA, p. 24.
For the calculation of the U-value, please refer to the documentation included
with the U-value temperature probe (0614 1635).
Required for the calculation of the heating/cooling performance of assemblies:
· A vane probe (for determining the volume flow) must be connected.
· 2 wireless humidity probes (for determining enthalpy at the input and output
of the assembly and for calculating tightness).
· The parameter pressure (for the calculation of tightness) must be entered.
· The calculation factor enthalpy must be activated. The enthalpy is integrated
in the calculation of performance, an enthalpy value cannot be displayed..
· The wireless humidity probe allocated to radio channel 1 must be positioned
next to the vane probe, as its readings are automatically used to calculate
the mass flow.
 7. Measuring 27

When measuring ambient CO, observe:

de
· The ambient CO probe must be situated in fresh air (CO-free) during the
zeroing phase.

en
· Cigarette smoke influences the measurement by more than 50ppm. The
breathed air of a smoker influences the reading by approx. 5ppm.

fr
· The flow impact of the gas influences the measurement accuracy. Frontal
impact on the sensor leads to higher measurement values. The best

es
measurement results are acheived with a slight movement of the probe back
and forth.
