2 GETTING STARTED

2.1 FITTING THE BATTERIES

1. Open battery compartment cover; press down

in direction of arrow using thumb nail.

2. Insert 2 x LR03 (AAA), alkaline dry batteries

taking care to ensure correct battery polarity

(Figure 2).

3. Close battery compartment cover.

Rechargeable batteries can be used but they will

only have 25% to 30% of the life of alkaline

batteries.

Figure 2. Fitting batteries -

ensure correct battery polarity

2.2 BATTERY CONDITION.

Symbol Battery condition/action required

100%

66% to 100%

33% to 66%, replacement

recommended.

16% to 33%, replacement required.

<16%, gauge beeps every 10 seconds

and symbol flashes - immediate

replacement required.

5 loud beeps, gauge switches off

automatically.

Op_456_3_English.book Page 7 Thursday, May 24, 2007 9:18 PM

2.3 FITTING PROBES

(separate versions only)

To ensure correct transfer of data from the

probe and detection of the new probe, the

gauge must be switched off when

separate probes are fitted.

A probe must be calibrated once it has been

fitted - see “Calibration adjustment” on page 23.

To fit the probe

Align connector keyway and

push in direction shown. The

connector locks automatically.

Note: The design of the probe

connector allows some

movement between the probe

and the gauge. This is intentional

and does not affect

measurement performance.

To release the probe

Grasp knurled section and pull

gently away from the gauge. The

connection will unlock and the

probe will release.

To fit the PINIP™

Twist the PINIP™ until the

connector locates. Taking

care not to cross the

threads, lock the probe by

turning the locking ring

1½ times clockwise, or

until tight.
