Kanomax 65 Ser Intelligent Environmental Monitoring Anemometer with Multi-Parameter Air Flow, Velocity, Temperature, Humidity and Differential Pressure Measurement

Overview

The Kanomax 65 Ser Intelligent Environmental Monitoring Anemometer is a precision-engineered, multi-parameter field instrument designed for simultaneous measurement of air velocity, volumetric flow rate, static/differential pressure, ambient temperature, and relative humidity. Based on constant-temperature anemometry (CTA) principle, the 65 Ser employs thermally sensitive probes that respond to convective heat transfer from a heated element—enabling high-resolution, low-inertia velocity detection across turbulent and laminar flow regimes. Its integrated calculation engine supports real-time volumetric flow derivation when users input duct geometry (rectangular, circular, or irregular cross-sections) and dimensions—making it suitable for HVAC commissioning, cleanroom validation, fume hood performance testing, and industrial ventilation audits. The device operates without external power dependency in field deployments and maintains metrological traceability through factory calibration against NIST-traceable standards.

Key Features

• Simultaneous five-parameter acquisition: air velocity, temperature, humidity, differential pressure, and calculated airflow volume
• Interchangeable probe system supporting eight Kanomax-certified thermal anemometer probes—including retractable pitot-static tubes, vane-style sensors, and ultra-thin micro-probes for confined-space access
• On-device statistical processing: real-time calculation of average, maximum, and minimum values over user-defined sampling intervals
• Embedded data logger with 20,000-point memory capacity, timestamped and indexed by measurement session
• USB interface compliant with USB 2.0 specification for direct data export to Windows-based analysis software; supports CSV and proprietary .KAN file formats
• 0–1 V analog output for integration into building management systems (BMS) or PLC-controlled monitoring loops
• Rugged handheld enclosure rated IP54 for dust and splash resistance; operating range extends from −20 °C to +70 °C with full accuracy retention

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The 65 Ser accommodates diverse airflow environments—from low-velocity laminar flows in ISO Class 5 cleanrooms (25 m/s)—through appropriate probe selection and configurable averaging algorithms. All probes are manufactured to Kanomax’s internal quality control specifications and undergo individual calibration verification per ISO/IEC 17025 requirements. The instrument complies with IEC 61000-4 electromagnetic compatibility standards and meets CE marking directives for portable environmental instrumentation. While not certified for intrinsic safety, its battery-powered operation ensures suitability for non-hazardous area applications as defined in ATEX Category 3G/3D. Data integrity aligns with GLP principles via audit-ready logging metadata (including probe ID, calibration date, operator tag, and environmental conditions at time of capture).

Software & Data Management

Kanomax provides the free KANOMAX DataView™ desktop application (Windows 10/11 compatible) for post-acquisition analysis, report generation, and trend visualization. DataView supports automated calculation of duct-based airflow (CFM/m³/h), Reynolds number estimation, and deviation mapping against ASHRAE Standard 111 reference profiles. Raw datasets include embedded calibration coefficients and sensor-specific uncertainty budgets. For regulated environments, optional DataView Pro add-on enables 21 CFR Part 11-compliant electronic signatures, role-based access control, and immutable audit trails—meeting FDA, EMA, and MHRA expectations for GxP-aligned airflow validation documentation.

Applications

• HVAC system balancing and TAB (Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing) reporting per ANSI/ASHRAE Guideline 12
• Cleanroom ISO 14644-3 airflow uniformity and velocity profile certification
• Fume hood face velocity verification per ANSI Z9.5 and EN 14175
• Industrial exhaust stack characterization and emission compliance screening
• Lab ventilation safety assessments including room air change rate (ACH) calculations
• Research-grade boundary layer studies requiring synchronized multi-point velocity–temperature–humidity correlation

FAQ

What probe types are supported by the 65 Ser, and how do they differ in application?
The 65 Ser accepts eight Kanomax thermal probes, including the 6501 (standard straight probe), 6502 (90° bent tip), 6503 (retractable telescopic), and 6505 (high-temp variant up to 150 °C). Each probe carries unique calibration coefficients stored in its connector EEPROM and is optimized for specific duct geometries, velocity ranges, and thermal stability requirements.
Can the 65 Ser be used for ISO 14644-3 cleanroom certification?
Yes—when paired with the 6501 or 6503 probe and operated in “cleanroom mode” (enabled via firmware), the unit applies ISO 14644-3–recommended averaging periods (≥30 s per point), spatial sampling density rules, and turbulence intensity correction factors.
Is calibration documentation included with each unit?
Each 65 Ser ships with a factory calibration certificate listing probe-specific accuracy statements, traceability to NIST standards, and date of verification. Full recalibration services are available through Kanomax-authorized service centers globally.
Does the device support automatic duct shape recognition?
No—the user manually selects duct geometry (rectangle, circle, oval, or custom polygon) and enters dimensional parameters via the intuitive keypad interface. The internal algorithm then computes cross-sectional area and integrates velocity profiles accordingly.
How long does the battery last under continuous use?
With six AA alkaline cells, typical runtime is 12–15 hours at 1 Hz sampling frequency and backlight enabled; runtime extends beyond 20 hours in low-power mode with backlight disabled and sampling interval set to ≥5 s.
