2.4 Turning the Flex Counter on and off - stop-mode
In order to lower the power consumption of the Flex Counter, and thereby increasing the lifetime of the
batteries, the computer may be set in stop-mode. The display will then be turned off and the computer
is paused until a new signal is received from the sensor or a pressed key.
The Flex Counter may be set in stop-mode manually. This is done by pressing the
0 9
F
-key for app. 4
seconds. The display shows 'stop' in app. 1 second, and the display is then turned off.
If the Flex Counter within a period of ½-1½ hour has not received any pulse or key-press signals, the
computer is automatically set in stop-mode.
2.5 Power supply
The Flex Counter must be supplied with power from 2 1,5V AA-batteries.
When the Flex Counter is re-started having been in stop-mode, the display first shows the version
number of the specific computer.
The computer then checks the power level - if this is to low the display shows '-bL'. If the Flex Counter
is then automatically turned off, the batteries must be changed. If the power supply from the batteries
are to low the computer will occasionally flash the '-bL-' message during use. The batteries must then
to be changed, as counting errors may then occur.
If display-problems occur after battery replacement, wait for 2 minutes, and then reinstall the batteries.
In case this doesn’t help please check the accumulated voltage from the batteries (min. 3V).
2.6 Storing data – The memory of the Flex Counter
The Flex Counter is supplied with a memory facility, which remembers the values of the input- and
output factors.
The values of the input-factors (e.g. the wheel circumference) are automatically stored when they are
changed.
The value of output factors (e.g. area I) is stored once every hour, and when the Flex Counter is
automatically or manually set in stop-mode - please refer to the “Turning the Flex Counter on and off -
stop mode”.
 When changing the batteries, the Flex Counter must first be manually set in stop-mode, using
the
0 9
F
-key. Then the batteries may be changed without risk of loosing data
