Section 1 - Introduction
1.1 Description
The new Thermal Wind Tunnel Model WT-2000 is designed to produce variable
flow rates inside a rectangular 17 by 3 1⁄4" cross sectional area test chamber. The
Wind Tunnel has an electronic control unit where it controls the four compact, high
power density fans. Velocity can be controlled via simple push button user input,
or by the Free PC based software control via USB cable for optimum performance.
The Thermal Wind Tunnel is recommended for the testing of circuit boards and
heat sinks, as well as other temperature related products. The four fans can be
controlled independently, in groups of two, or all together to produce a wide
range of different air flows.
OMEGA offers a complete line of temperature sensing equipment including
thermocouple and RTD probes and their corresponding panel and bench top
meters as well air velocity meters such as hot wire anemometers.
Figure 1 and 2 – Illustrate the important components of the wind tunnel as well
as its overall dimensions (1.2, 1.3). Figure 3 – Shows the front and side view of
the Electronic Control Box (2.1). Figure 4 – Shows the rear panel of the Electronic
Control Box (2.1).

Section 2 - Operation
2.1 Setting Up the Wind Tunnel – Precautions
A wind tunnel’s performance can be severely diminished if not used properly.
Please follow the following tips:
• Do not use the wind tunnel in rooms with less than 1800 cubic feet. The air
flow creates currents that undermine the wind tunnel’s accuracy.
• Place the wind tunnel on a flat and level surface.
• Avoid locating the intake and exhaust toward open windows, door ways or
corridors where people are walking. The effect of air current changes across
the intake has a severe affect on the flow rate changing in the wind tunnel.
• There should be at least 1.5 m (5 feet) clear space in front of and behind the
wind tunnel. No obstacles, moving objects, or open doors or windows.
• Locate the exhaust towards the largest open area of the room to minimize
room air currents. The higher the flow rate, the more chance of creating
currents.
• The air flow rate of the wind tunnel depends on the air temperature and
barometric pressure. Adjust it accordingly. See Section 6.2 for Hot Wire
Anemometer correction factors.
• This instrument should only be used for its intended purpose in accordance to
the instruction manual.
2-1
Operation

2.2 Placing a Unit Under Test (UUT) in the Wind Tunnel
• Ensure that the Electronic Control unit is off before opening the wind tunnel
door or access panel.
• Loosen the screws that secure the slides by turning them counterclockwise to
allow them to move freely.
• Secure the UUT by using the clips or slots in the slides. Secure the slides by
turning the screws clockwise. Ensure that the UUT is as close as possible to
the center of the slide assembly of the wind tunnel. Keep in mind that even the
smooth inner walls of the wind tunnel may introduce some turbulence in the
flow of air.
2.3 Operating the Wind Tunnel
Before operating the wind tunnel, please follow all the precautions stated in the
previous sections and then proceed as follows:
1- Make sure the power switch in the back of the electronic control unit is off,
then connect the cable from the DC Fans on the Wind Tunnel to the back of
the Electrical Control box labeled ‘Fan Control’.
2- Connect the AC input of the Control unit to a line voltage (90 to 264 VAC @
50/60 Hz) with the Power cord provided. Please refer to the accessory table
for power cords for other countries.
3- Turn on the Power switch in the back. The power LED indicator on the front
of the control box will turn on.
4- The four fan LEDs show which fan velocity is going to be modified using
the up and down arrows. Once a fan velocity has been set using the arrow
keys it will maintain the same velocity, even if the FAN button is pushed to
control a different fan or combination of fans. Pushing the FAN button cycles
through the possible selections: Fan1 only, Fan2 only, Fan3 only, Fan4 only,
Fan1&Fan3, Fan2&Fan4, Fan2&Fan3, Fan1&Fan4, or all 4 Fans. For optimum
performance use the supplied PC Interface Software to control the fans. See
Section 2.4 for details.
5- To change the fan speed, use the arrow up and arrow down keys. They may
be pressed and released for small adjustments, or held for larger adjustments.
2.4 PC Interface (Optional)
2.4.1 Introduction
After following the steps in the previous section for Operating the Wind Tunnel,
you can optionally connect the USB Cable from a PC with the Omega Wind
Tunnel Control Software to the Wind Tunnel Electrical Control Box. This simple
software allows for quick, precise open loop control of the DC Fan velocities.
Connecting the USB cable to the electrical control Box will “lockout” the front
panel buttons on the Electrical control box. The user can verify that the front
panel is “locked out” when the 4 Fan LEDs are extinguished.

Operation
2.5.3 Using the Program to Control the Wind Tunnel
There are two distinct ways to control the wind tunnel using the WT-2000 PC
interface:
1) On the left of the window are the single fan controls. The user can enter a
value between 0% and 100% by either typing a value in the text box, using the
mouse to click the up or down buttons on the program, or by using the up and
down arrows on the keyboard. When typing in a value, the user must press
“Enter,” “Return,” or “Tab” on the keyboard to update the value and move to
the next control; or use the mouse to navigate to another control.
2) On the right, there are fan selection boxes and group preset buttons. To use
them, check off the fans for which you want to control, and use the preset
buttons to change the velocity for each selected fan. The new velocities will be
reflected in the Single Controls on the left side of the page, and fine tuning can
be completed in the Single Controls box.
NOTE:
The value in the control represents a linear percentage of fan
velocity within the reliable operation of the fan. The values
are NOT a true percent of fan velocity, because the fans
do not operate reliably below a certain threshold. Both the
Controller alone and the Software interface establish the 1%
value as slightly above that threshold so that the fans are
always running within their reliable operation range.
2-11
Sensing
3
Section 3 - Sensing
3.1 Ports
The WT-2000 Wind tunnel has been built with the ability to accommodate
for a wide variety of sensors, including temperature sensing devices (such
as thermocouples, RTDs, and thermistors), and air velocity sensors (such as
hot wire anemometers). There are several ports that can be used to allow for
sensors to be inserted into the wind tunnel for measurement during operation.
Compression fittings and port hole caps have been included for insertion into
desired ports.
3.2 Notes
There are many factors to consider while sensing temperature and flow inside
the wind tunnel. Please consider the following points:
• Open ports may dramatically affect air flow. Please seal measurement ports
and close the door tightly to ensure proper flow.
• Air flow will change with the size and shape of the unit under test.
• Avoid the use of large temperature sensing probes on small devices. They may
act as heat sinks; especially with high air velocity. It is suggested to use surface
mounted types of temperature sensors for better accuracy.
• Avoid damage to the Honeycomb flow straightener.
• When using the compression fittings for holding probes in place, use the
Teflon ferrule inserts to hold the probe by hand tightening the compression
fitting. Do not use tools or wrenches.

Calibration
Section 4 - Calibration
4.1 Hot Wire Anemometer Calibration
The wind tunnel produces a highly uniform flow and is therefore capable of
calibrating hot wire anemometers. It is recommended to use one calibrated
probe as a standard and place the probe to be calibrated in close proximity but
not in opposition to airflow. The probes should be of the same type for the best
results. See section 6.2 for hot wire anemometer correction factors.
4-1
RS232 Communication
5
Section 5 - RS232 Communication
5.1 Introduction
The Wind Tunnel controller has the ability for RS 232 communication through
a USB port. There is a USB to Serial RS 232 communication chip within the
controller that allows for a PC with the proper drivers installed to recognize the
WT-2000 controller as a serial RS 232 device connected through a COM Port.
This allows for the simplicity of RS 232 communication and the convenience of
using any open USB port.
5.2 Serial Communication Parameters
NOTE:
Note that both the WT-2000 Controller and the computer
must be communicating with the same serial communications
parameters to establish a working communication link.
The serial communications parameters should be as follows:
Baud Rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
5.3 Commands
Valid commands are in the following format:
1) ENQ [CR/LF] - a command that causes the controller to return with the
following message:
WT-2000
xxxxxx
where xxxxxx is the firmware version number.
2) PWM *fan#* *vel* [CR/LF]
where *fan#* is a value between 0 and 3; each number representing one of the
4 fans to control. Fan 0 is the highest fan in the assembly and Fan 3 is the fan
closest to the base of the wind tunnel.
*vel* is a value between 0 and 2400. The fans will not start reliably below a value
of 300, so they should never be issued a command that would have them run at
a value greater than 0 but less than 300.
The controller will echo back the command in the following format:
PWM *fan#* = *vel* to confirm that the message was received.
5-1
5
RS232 Communication
If the message was attempting to force a parameter out of range, the controller
will send a message to show what the value was actually changed to (typically
the highest or lowest value depending upon which direction the outgoing
message was out of range). The controller may send back BAD COMMAND if it
receives an invalid message. Note, only the RS232 protocol is supported by the
USB serial port. A standard USB cable with one “A” connector end on the PC
side end and a “mini B” connector end on the controller side should be used.
[CR/LF] - Every transmission must be terminated with a carriage return
[CR] character. The line feed [LF] character is optional. This can usually be
accomplished by pressing the enter or return key.

6.2 Hot Wire Anemometer Correction Factors
When using Hot Wire Anemometers in conditions that are other than the
standard condition - 29.92 inches of Hg and 70°F (22.2°C), correction factors
must be used. The correction factor equation for K1 is as follows.
K1 = (29.92/P) x (460 + T)/530; where
P = the Barometric pressure in inches of Hg
T = the ambient temperature in °F.
There is a second correction factor which is a function of the air probe geometry
(K2).

Example: An FMA-904 Hot Wire anemometer is being used in the Wind Tunnel
at half velocity (~500 FPM). The measured environmental conditions are:
Barometric Pressure = 27.88 inches of Hg
Ambient Temperature = 80°F
The FMA measures 442 FPM. Calculate the actual air speed:
Actual Air speed (FPM) = Measured average value over one minute time
interval (FPM) x K1 x K2.
K1 = (29.92/P) x (460 + T)/530
K1= (29.92/27.88) x (460 + 80)/530
K1 = 1.093
From Table 1, K2 for FMA-904 @ Half Velocity is 1.04.
Actual Air speed = 502 FPM
