SETUP
Cable Connections
ES3 audiometers can be powered by 4 AA Alkaline batteries (battery compartment
is accessible from the back of the instrument). Optionally, power from an AC
adapter or USB bus power can be supplied via the 6-pin multi-purpose “mini DIN”
connector on the top of the instrument. The AC adapter may be plugged directly
into the ES3 mini DIN socket if serial communication is not required, or it may be
plugged into the power adapter receptacle at the end of a printer cable or optional
computer interface cable (RS-232). The headset and response button cable
assembly plugs into the 15-pin connector on the top of the instrument.
Booth wall and headphone adapter cables are provided for installations that
require patching through a booth. The booth adapter cable replaces the ES3
headphone/response button cable and terminates in three ¼” phone plugs
compatible with standard booth patch panels. The headphone adapter cable
provides ¼” mono phone plugs for TDH-39 headphones.
Power Up
Press the {On} key, and the ES3 logo will scroll onto the screen unless scrolling
has been disabled (see Power Up Logo
), or the instrument was last powered down
due to an inactivity time-out. When power-up initialization is completed, enter {1}
to begin a new test or enter {2} to continue a previous test automatically saved by
the ES3 at its last power down.
If you choose to begin a new test, the ES3 will prompt you to enter the Patient ID
and an Operator ID. If the Test Analysis option is installed, it will also check to see
if baseline data is available. If baseline data is found, you will be given the option
to load the data. You will then be prompted to enter patient’s gender, age, number
of hours since last noise exposure, and an Operator ID.
The manual audiometry screen will then be displayed and the instrument is ready
to begin testing.
Note: When the ES3 powers down due to an inactivity timeout or in response to
⌐T
URN OFF, current test data is automatically saved to non-volatile memory. This
prevents loss of data in case a test is interrupted. When the ES3S is powered
back on, pending test data will be restored and the test can be continued, if
desired, or a new test can be started.
