Display
The LCD window consists of a backlit dot matrix which is used to display menus, configuration options and measurement results, as well as online help. Various user interface languages can be selected, depending upon the country in which the test instrument is used.
Operation
The instrument is very easy to operate. A multifunction key allows for one-handed operation when selecting menus and starting measurements. Basic functions and sub-functions are selected with the help of four softkeys.
Battery Charge Level Indicator and Device Self-Test
A battery symbol in the main menu with 5 segments ranging from depleted to fully charged keeps the user continuously informed concerning battery charge level.
The test instrument is switched off automatically if the batteries are depleted, and it includes a charge control circuit for safe charging of rechargeable NiMH or NiCd batteries.
Test patterns can be queried one after the other in the self-test mode, and display LEDs and relays can be tested.
Sturdy Housing for Rugged Use
Soft plastic jacketing protects the instrument against impacts, or if it is inadvertently dropped.
Signal Lamps
The device recognizes errors in the electrical system automatically, which are indicated with four lamps.
Data Interface
Measurement data can be read out to a printer or a PC via the integrated IRDA interface, providing the user with 3 advantages.
- Transmission of stored data to a PC for processing and archiving, or for the generation of official reports
- Immediate print-out of all measurement data (via adapter)
Software Updates
The test instrument will never become obsolete thanks to software updates which can be installed via the IRDA interface. Updates can be performed by our service department as part of our re-calibration service, or by the user himself.
