Information Page
There are several open buttons for future features.
Another advantage of the Touch Screen is that status information can be quickly accessed. This information tells you what is going on
“under the hood” of Hilo and provides crucial data for trouble shooting in the field.
All Information pages will stay open until you tap “Close”, or the Meter screen comes up based on the “Return to Meters” delay time
established in the DISPLAY CONTROLS page.

Power
The Hilo may be powered either by AC power through the IEC Mains connector, or by DC power through the 4-pin BATTERY IN
connector on the back panel.
AC power will indicated by “Mains AC” appearing in the Power indicator. The back panel power switch
will control the AC power to the Hilo.
DC power will be indicated by “Battery” appearing in the Power indicator, with the measured voltage
displayed below the Battery indicator. Please note when powering from DC power, the back panel
power switch will turn of the AC power to the Hilo, however the Hilo will remain in the ON state as long
as there is sufficient power provided on the DC power input.
3.6.2
Digital In Channel Status
This section displays status information pertaining to the Hilo’s digital inputs.
The data displayed indicates the quality of the AES/EBU connections as well as
channels status data sent by a transmitting device. The information displayed in
this section is very useful for troubleshooting digital input connection issues.
For more information about AES/EBU channel status data, refer to the AES-3
