        Major Tech | Thermo Anemometer 0.40-30m/s CMM CFM | 70mm Remote Vane Probe

        The Major Tech MT948 is a thermo anemometer that measures air velocity, air flow volume, and air temperature through a 70mm remote vane probe. Air velocity reads from 0.40 to 30.00m/s at ±(3%+0.20m/s), with km/h, ft/min, mph, and knots also selectable. Entering a duct area up to 999.9m² lets the MT948 calculate air flow directly in CMM or CFM. A built-in NTC thermistor in the vane reads air temperature from -10°C to 60°C on the backlit dual LCD.

        Balancing an air conditioning system means proving each outlet delivers its design air flow, not guessing from a hand held near the grille. Reading velocity alone still leaves the arithmetic, and juggling a calculator between registers slows a balance report to a crawl. The MT948 takes the duct area once and converts velocity straight to CMM or CFM, with 16 memory locations holding eight areas each for CFM and CMM work. Because the vane sits on a lead, one operator holds the sensor in the air stream and reads the meter at the same time.

        An AC tech proving a split system can read supply air temperature and outlet velocity on the same screen, with no second instrument on the ladder. The 20-point averaging mode smooths turbulent duct readings into a single stable figure for the commissioning sheet. MAX, MIN, and average recording runs while the vane traverses a register, so the spread across the face is captured in one pass. A rubber protective jacket and an 80 hour battery life from one 9V keep the MT948 working through a full week of site visits.

        Features

        • Velocity, flow, and temperature — the MT948 measures air velocity, calculates volumetric air flow, and reads air temperature simultaneously on a dual backlit LCD.
        • 0.40 to 30.00m/s velocity range — rated ±(3%+0.20m/s) at 0.01m/s resolution, with km/h, ft/min, mph, and knots selectable.
        • CMM and CFM air flow — enter a duct area up to 999.9m² or 999.9ft² and the meter converts velocity to volume, reading up to 999,900 per minute with X10 and X100 multipliers.
        • 16 area memories — eight locations each for CFM and CMM store commonly used duct sizes for instant recall between jobs.
        • 70mm remote vane — angled vane arms run on a low-friction ball bearing, connected by a keyed plug so one person measures and reads at once.
        • Built-in temperature sensor — an NTC precision thermistor in the vane reads -10°C to 60°C at 0.1°C resolution, switchable between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
        • 20-point averaging — velocity or flow readings average across up to 20 points for a stable figure in turbulent air streams.
        • MAX, MIN, and average recording — the MT948 tracks extremes and a running average, with average recording stopping automatically after 2 hours.
        • Data hold and dual displays — separate hold and max functions cover the air reading and the temperature reading independently.
        • 20 minute auto power off — conserves the 9V battery, can be disabled at power-on, and stays off automatically in flow and averaging modes.
        • Rubber protective jacket — a removable jacket cushions the meter body against site handling, with the battery compartment behind it.
        • Instrument operating limits — the MT948 itself operates from 0°C to 50°C below 80% relative humidity and carries no ingress protection rating.

        Where to use

        • AC commissioning and balancing — the MT948 proves outlet velocities and volumes against design figures on residential and commercial systems.
        • Duct and register surveys — the remote vane traverses supply and return grilles while the operator watches the meter in hand.
        • Exhaust fan verification — measured CMM or CFM confirms bathroom, kitchen, and toilet exhaust flows meet ventilation requirements.
        • Filter and coil condition checks — falling air flow at the same fan setting points to blocked filters or fouled coils before comfort complaints start.
        • Supply air temperature checks — the MT948's vane thermistor reads supply air temperature at the register during performance testing.
        • Fume and ventilation surveys — velocity readings at hoods, doorways, and vents check that extraction and make-up air behave as designed.

        The MT948 instrument operates within 0°C to 50°C at below 80% relative humidity and to a maximum altitude of 2000 metres. It carries no ingress protection rating, so keep the meter and vane out of rain, condensation, and wet plant areas. The measurement span for air temperature extends to -10°C, but the meter body itself must stay within its 0°C operating floor.

        (MT948)

        Air velocity from 0.40 to 30.00m/s, air flow volume in CMM or CFM once a duct area is entered, and air temperature from -10°C to 60°C. Velocity also displays in km/h, ft/min, mph, and knots, and the backlit LCD shows the air reading and temperature together.

        Enter the duct or outlet area in m² or ft² using the AREA mode, and the meter multiplies measured velocity into cubic metres or cubic feet per minute. Sixteen memory locations, eight each for CFM and CMM, store commonly used areas so repeat sites need no re-entry.

        Air velocity is rated ±(3%+0.20m/s) across 0.40 to 30.00m/s with 0.01m/s resolution, and air temperature is rated ±2.0°C with 0.1°C resolution. The meter samples about one reading per second and ships fully tested and calibrated.

        Turbulent air streams jump around too much for a single spot reading, so averaging mode collects up to 20 readings and reports one stable figure. It works in both velocity and flow modes, and the previous average can be recalled with a single press of the AVG button.

        The vane plugs into a keyed sensor jack on top of the meter, fitting one way only. Air must enter the vane in the direction of the arrow sticker inside it, and if the vane is disconnected or faulty the display shows OL instead of a temperature.

        One 9V battery, accessed by removing the rubber protective jacket and a Phillips screw on the rear compartment. Battery life is around 80 hours, though continuous backlight use shortens it significantly, and the meter powers itself off after 20 minutes unless that feature is disabled.

        The MT948 carries a 2 year warranty for both domestic and commercial use, starting from the invoice date. Lodge a claim by returning the unit to Sparky Direct with proof of purchase and a fault description; it is then forwarded to Major Tech's authorised service centre for assessment.
