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_2_English.book Page 6 Friday, February 17, 2006 3:35 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.

2.3.1 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.

2.3.2 To release the probe

Grasp knurled section and pull

gently away from the gauge. The

connection will unlock and the

probe will release.

2.3.3 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.

Op_456_2_English.book Page 7 Friday, February 17, 2006 3:35 PM

2.4 The controls

The gauge is operated by 5 keys (Figure 3).

• On/Off key : Switches the gauge on or off.

• Softkeys: The function of these keys varies and is

described by symbols and writing on the bottom line

of the screen.

• LED: Red/green flashes when the gauge is switched

on, green flashes when a reading is taken.
