Connecting Probes
Connecting an ECA Probe
Eddy ECA probes come in several models: Sharck, I-Flex
™
, etc. These probes hook up to Reddy’s array
connector. Proceed as follows to do so:
1. If you have not already done so, remove Reddy from its carrying case and place it on your working
surface as outlined in Positioning Reddy on page 8.
2. If you have not already done so, remove the protective caps from the ECA and I/O connectors.
3. Align the probe’s connector with the ECA connector on the instrument.
Hint
The Eddy logo on the probe’s connector should be facing you when you face the instrument.
4. Thoroughly insert the probe’s connector into the ECA connector.
5. Secure the probe’s connector with its two screws.
6. Align the probe’s 12-pin male encoder connector with the I/O connector on the instrument.
Hint
The alignment mark on the connector should be facing you when you face the instrument.
7. Push the connector until you hear it click.
Connecting an ECT Probe
ECT probes such as pencil probes hook up to Reddy’s ECT connector. Proceed as follows to do so:
1. If you have not already done so, remove Reddy from its carrying case and place it on your working
surface as outlined in Positioning Reddy on page 8.
2. If you have not already done so, remove the protective cap from the ECT connector.
3. Align the probe’s connector pins with the ECT connector on the instrument.
Hint
The alignment mark on the probe’s connector should be facing you when you face the instrument.

Batteries
Reddy can be used under battery power. The instrument is designed with two battery cradles under the
protective battery compartment door, but can be powered by a single battery. Reddy uses Li204SX-7800
lithium-ion rechargeable batteries from Emerging Power, which do not suffer from the memory effect
affecting previous generations of batteries.
Warning
Whenever carrying Reddy in its transport case, remove the batteries from the instrument and make
sure that they cannot come in contact during transport, as this poses a signicant re and explosion
hazard.
When carrying Reddy, it is the user’s responsibility to make sure that the safety precautions used are in
accordance with the local department of transportation (or equivalent governing body) rules and
regulations.
Reddy’s transport case comes with two slots, tted to receive the batteries when removed from the
instrument.
Note
Make sure that you do not replace the batteries by batteries other than Li204X-7800 lithium-ion
rechargeable batteries from Emerging Power. Contact your Eddy representative for more information
about pricing and availability or replacement batteries.
