6 Power supply
Power can be supplied to the measuring instrument with 3 AA alkaline batteries (included in delivery)
6.1 Battery operation and supply voltage monitoring
Power is supplied to the measuring instrument as delivered by 3 AA batteries. At a current consumption of approx.
10 mA the operating time will be approx. 250 hours. The current operating voltage is displayed each time the the
device is switched on; this gives you a basis for estimating the remaining operating time. When the remaining
battery capacity drops to approx. 10 percent, the LOBAT arrow will appear in the display. If the batteries are
completely discharged the device will switch off. To replace old batteries first unscrew the battery compartment
cover on the rear of the device.
6.2 Switching ON / OFF, reinitialisation
To switch the device ON briefly press and release the key ON OFFr (3) in the middle of the keypad; to switch the
device, OFF press and hold down the key ON OFFr. After the device is switched off all saved values and settings
are retained intact.
If interference (e.g. electrostatic) or a malfunction (e.g. battery failure) causes the device to behave abnormally, the
device can be reinitialized. To activate RESET press and hold down the key
CLR r
when switching on. This will
restore all settings to the factory default status. Only the programming of the sensors in the intelligent connectors
remains unaffected.
6.3 Data buffering
The sensor's programming is stored in the EEPROM on the sensor connector and the device's calibration and
programmed parameters are stored in the EEPROM on the instrument itself, both on a fail-safe basis.
7 Connecting the sensors
Only the special intelligent sensors can be connected to input socket M0 (1). Attempting to connect any other
sensor here will trigger an error message.
All suitable sensors with the special intelligent connector have the measuring range and units already programmed
and can thus be connected to the input socket without further adjustment. A mechanical coding system ensures
that sensors and output modules can only be connected to the correct sockets. All connectors incorporate two
snap-lock levers; these snap into position as soon as the connector is inserted into the socket, thus preventing
unintended disconnection if the cable is accidentally pulled. To withdraw the connector, both these levers must be
pressed in at the sides.
