2.5 LOW POWER CONSUMPTION
If the probe is not used for more than two minutes, it goes into the low power consumption mode
automatically. This condition is identified by the presence of messages on PC screen.

In this condition, the OS310 probe power consumption is reduced by about 70%. If the probe is
interfaced through the RS232C interface, it remains in this condition for 2 minutes, waiting for the
operator’s instructions. Afterwards, to enhance the life of the internal batteries further, the probe
automatically shuts down by itself. The probe can be re-started after by typing a character on the PC
keyboard which executes a new "START-UP PROCEDURE". Alternatively, switch off the probe by
rotating the magnetic switch to OFF position and, after one minute, rotate back the switch to ON
position to wake up the probe.
Note
When the probe is operated by means of the telemetry interface, the “low power consumption” is activated but the
probe does not automatically shut down even if it is not used for a long time.
