The PMA-2008 Pocket Mining Anemometer is the second generation of
our battery-powered electronic anemometer for use in underground
mining. Still small enough to fit into a shirt pocket, the PMA-2008
anemometer makes taking ventilation readings even easier
than before!
Battery powered and small
enough to fit into a shirt pocket, the Pocket Mining Anemometer is specifically
designed for
use in underground mining and is certified as intrinsically safe by
MSHA*. The new PMA-2008 anemometer adds an audible signal, to indicate when
the 60 second count has started and ends. Also, the LCD can
now be
programmed to display in metric.
SIMPLE
PUSH BUTTON CONTROL
Rubber
covered push-buttons select between (a) 60-second Counting mode and (b)
Feet-per-minute mode.
AUTOMATIC
60 SECOND COUNTING MODE
Watch where
you are walking, instead of staring at your wristwatch. With
the push of a button, the PMA-2008 Pocket Mining Anemometer automatically takes a 60
second reading. It can also be stopped for partial readings of
feet-of-air. An audible alarm informs you when the count starts, stops and at 15-second intervals.
DUSTPROOF
/ WATERPROOF
Designed for
the rigors of a mining environment, the pocket anemometer is so well
sealed, it can be submerged in water. If dropped into a puddle
or sump, it floats.
NO
CALIBRATION
No
adjustments or calibration are required. After approximately
100 hours of use, the impeller assembly easily slides out for
replacement. This is all that is required to ensure precise
readings with the Pocket Anemometer.
QUICK
SPOT CHECKS
Feet per
minute mode allows for immediate checks of airspeeds behind line
curtains, on long wall faces, over conveyor belts, or anywhere air
flow must be verified.
TAKE
YOUR LEATHER POUCH OFF YOUR TOOL BELT
Every PMA-2008 Pocket
Mining Anemometer comes with its own storage case
and braided lanyard. A padded nylon carrying case with room for a replacement battery and impeller is an
available option. Free up some space on your tool belt and put your old anemometer and leather pouch in the mining museum!

Finally, there is an easier way
to take air flow readings in underground mines. The result of
years of research and development, the patented PMA-2008 Pocket
Mining Anemometer is small and
lightweight, yet rugged and water resistant, able to withstand the
harshest mining environments.
Modes:
(a) In 60-Second Counting mode,
simply walk the PMA-2008 anemometer across the entry; automatically stops
counting after 60 seconds. (b) For quick spot checks, Feet
per minute mode provides a moving
3-second average of airspeeds in
feet per minute.
Units:
60-Second Counting mode - feet
(ft), meters (m) Feet-per-minute mode - feet per minute
(fpm), meters per second (m/s).
Minimum/Maximum
Speed: 60 fpm
(0.4 m/s), 9999 fpm (9999 m/s)
