USB Drive - Un-Selected
When this option is not selected with a tick mark , measurement
values can be downloaded, as they are taken, to a computer, data
collector, or powder controller using a serial gadget driver.
Note: When the USB Drive option is changed (selected or de-selected),
the instrument must be powered-down, then powered-up to undertake
the change.
Note: When a USB cable is connected to the base unit, power is
supplied through the USB cable. The batteries are not used and the
base unit will not automatically power down.
Maintenance
The base unit requires no maintenance except battery replacement.
Clean with a soft brush or cloth.
The screen at the measuring end of the probe can be unscrewed for
cleaning. Accumulated powder should be carefully removed from the
screen by no more than 0.2 MPa (20 - 30 psi) of compressed air. Do
not direct air directly into the probe. Replacement screens are available.
Changing the Batteries
The battery symbol displays a full bar with
fresh alkaline batteries installed. As the batteries
weaken, the bar will be reduced. When the
battery symbol is low the gage can still be
used, but the batteries should be changed at the
earliest opportunity. Use only "AAA" alkaline
batteries (3) in the base unit and "AA" alkaline
batteries (3) in the probe. Nickel-cadmium and
nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries will
work but the gage may appear to have weak batteries. The gage will
turn off automatically when batteries are very low, preceded by a low
battery warning on the display. If batteries are very low the gage may
startup but then turn off quickly.
Note: To retain all user settings and stored memory readings, only
replace the batteries after the gage has automatically powered-down.
