A discharged battery is charged in this case, viz, parallel to the instrument operation. Operation Using the Power Supply Unit Connect the instrument tothe mains socket-outlet using the power supply unit ‘The plug receptacle is at the top left of the instrument. Push the plug of the power supply uit ito the plug receptacle until it snaps into place with a clearly ‘audible click. The PWR LED on the keypad ofthe instrument wil ight in green Color f the eannection is properly aligned ‘Operation Using Batteries Use a lithium-ion battery pack provided with the instrument for the battery ‘operation. ‘The battery compartment is situated at the instrument back The cover is {fastened with 4 screws To insert the battery pack Loosen the four screws ofthe battery cover. Lit the cover off upward. Inger the battery ito the battery compartment Close the battery Comparment and fasten Ue screws, ‘Turn on the instrument to make sure the battery Is installed correctly and firmly 3.2 Connecting a Probe “To prepare the instrument for operation, you have to connect @ probe to it.The instrument is avalable with the probe connectors BNC (Lemo connectors are optional. When connecting @ probe to the instrument, its not only important that the probe's physical connection be properly made. Its also important that the Instrument is properly configured to work with the installed probe. The Instrument will operate with one or two single-element probes or with a dua-element probe. ‘To installa single-element probe, connect the probe cable to either ofthe two ports on the front of the instrument. When two probes, or a dualelement probe Is connected to the insttument, the "Receive" probe connector should be intalled in the right port and the Transmit’ probe connector in te left port.‘Connect one single element probe to either port. ‘Connect leads from a Dual Element Probe to both ports. For through-transmission, connect two single element probes to the transmit (let, labeled as £1) and receive (right labeled as £41) ports, 3.3 Starting the Instrument ‘To start the instrument, simply press down the On/Off key. If it operates on the imal baer pak make sue to al the bat pack coreaty before ‘The start display ofthe instrument appears; here you will also see the current software version and the serial number ofthe instrument. The instrument cartes ‘outa self-check and then switches over to stand-by mode, ‘The instrument wil automaticaly reload the last Instrument setting.
