Extech AN250W Anemometer
The Extech AN250W Anemometer gives fast and reliable airflow readings for HVAC engineers, maintenance teams and building inspectors. It measures air velocity and ambient temperature in one compact meter. Bluetooth support also allows live data viewing and report creation through the ExView mobile app.
Designed for daily field work, the meter captures readings every 0.5 seconds and displays results on a large backlit LCD screen. Users can record maximum and average values or freeze measurements using the data hold function. A standard tripod mount also allows stable hands-free monitoring during longer tests.
Wireless Monitoring and Reporting
Using Bluetooth connectivity, the Extech AN250W Anemometer sends readings directly to the free ExView application for iOS and Android devices. The app can display trends, trigger high and low alarms and connect to up to eight compatible Extech Connected Series meters at the same time. Users can also export data as CSV files or create PDF reports with photos of the test location.
Wireless communication reaches up to 90 metres in line-of-sight conditions, making the instrument suitable for larger plant rooms and commercial spaces. The meter therefore supports quick inspections and clear documentation without the need for manual note taking. Its compact body and low weight also make it easy to carry between testing points.
Built for HVAC Applications
The Extech AN250W Anemometer measures airflow in multiple units including m/s, ft/min, km/h, mph, knots and Beaufort force. This flexibility makes it suitable for ventilation balancing, fan checks and commissioning work. Ambient temperature measurements further increase its usefulness when assessing indoor conditions.
Two set options are available to suit different requirements, allowing users to select the package that best matches their application. With dependable measurements, wireless reporting and simple operation, the Extech AN250W Anemometer provides an efficient solution for professional airflow testing and documentation.
