Selecting high voltages (above SELV-Safety Extra-Low Voltage)
WARNING. With ‘HI VOLTS’ selected, high voltages can be applied to the line.
In FaultFind mode the transmitter can produce high voltage even with ‘HI VOLTS’ off.
The RD4000T10 is capable of outputting more than 30 volts but under normal operation is limited to an output of
less than 30 volts. When the transmitter is switched on, it defaults to ‘HI VOLTS’ off which means that it is not
possible for the transmitter to supply more than 30 volts.
To allow more than 30 volts to be applied proceed as follows:
• Switch the transmitter on
• Press the on/off key to select menu
• Press the up arrow to select ‘HI VOLTS’
• Press the menu key
• Press the up arrow to select ‘HI VOLTS ON’
• Press the menu key to confirm selection.
The ‘HI VOLTS’ icon (number 1 on illustration) is displayed.
If there are more than 30 volts on the line the second HI VOLTS symbol
(number 2 on illustration) flashes on and off.
Connection using a signal clamp
• Plug the clamp into the accessory socket
• Switch the transmitter on.
The clamp symbol is displayed.
Using the web-enabling features
Lift up the transmitter RS232 dust cover, and plug the male end of the (supplied) RS232 communication lead
into the RS232 socket. Plug the female end of the cable into the computer serial port (normally COM 1).
Switch on the computer and transmitter, access the Internet and in the address bar type:
http://engineering.radiodetection.com. You will also find a link to this site at Radiodetection.com.
Once you are connected to the website, follow the on-line instructions for using the site.
Transmitter error codes
Error codes are displayed to inform you that the software has failed in some way. Error codes are displayed as
either ‘ERR’ (error) or ‘FATAL ERR’ (fatal error) followed by a number between 1 and 23. If an error occurs, the
transmitter will not necessarily switch off. If a fatal error occurs, the transmitter will switch off 10 seconds after
the fatal error code is displayed. If ‘ERR’ or ‘FATAL ERR’ is displayed perform the following procedure:
1. In the case of an error code, switch the transmitter off and then on again. If a fatal error is displayed and
the transmitter has switched itself off, switch it on again. If the error code is not displayed download the
current configuration (see 2), as the transmitter may have defaulted to its basic configuration.
2. If the error code is still displayed, use the web-enabling feature to download the transmitter current
configuration.
3. Switch the transmitter on again.
4. If the error code is still displayed or the transmitter keeps switching itself off, contact Radiodetection for
further advice.
