OPERATION

4.1 

LED Control Operation and Status Function

The ON/OFF state of the instrument can be determined by pressing the 

PRESS

 button for less than 0.5 seconds. If the instrument is ON, the status 

of the instrument will be shown by the LEDs. If the instrument is OFF no 

indication will be given (the LEDs will not blink).

The instrument is turned ON by pressing the 

PRESS

 button until all LEDs 

light.  At  this  point,  the  button  can  be  released  and  the  instrument  will 
remain in the ON state. If the button is released before all the LEDs light 

(in unison), the instrument will remain in the OFF state.

When holding the 

PRESS

 button while the instrument is ON, each LED 

will light in sequence. If the LEDs light in sequence, continue to hold the 

PRESS

 button until the last LED lights and then goes OFF. At this point, 

releasing the button will result in no action being taken. This provides a 
mechanism to cancel (or ignore) the button press.

Control of the instrument is performed by pressing and holding the 

PRESS

 

button  (while  the  instrument  is  ON)  until  the  control  LED  corresponding 
to  the  desired  operation  lights.  Releasing  the  button  when  the  desired 
control  LED  is  illuminated  results  in  the  corresponding  operation  being 
performed.

Turning  the  instrument  OFF  (pressing  and  holding  the  PRESS  button  

until the Blue LED lights), will not terminate an active recording or prevent 

a scheduled recording from starting. While the instrument is OFF, it will 

momentarily turn ON for each scheduled sample interval. This operation 
will make sure that a scheduled recording will begin and sample intervals 

will be stored even while the instrument is OFF.

The 

control operation

 of each LED is as follows:

GREEN: 

• 

Starts a recording

ORANGE: 

• 

Stops a recording

YELLOW:

• 

 Clears the alarm state

RED:

• 

 Erases the memory

BLUE:

• 

 Turns the instrument OFF
