Preparations for Measurement 

Before you operate your IT-19C, make sure to read this Operating Manual carefully, as well as to 
inspect the location of the controls and indicators of the Analyzer (Section 4.1). 

To prepare your Analyzer for operation with the external power source, do the following: 

1)

 

connect the power source to the connector located on the side panel of IT-19C; 

2)

 

turn on the power source. 

To prepare your IT-19C for operation in stand-alone mode, powered by the battery, press and hold 

down 

«

» 

until the display lights up. 

The name and type of the Analyzer will be shown on the screen.  After 1 second, either the main 
mode-selection menu (main menu) will appear (Figure 4.1), or the last measurement mode used 
before turning the power supply off (Section 4.5). 

When  you  first  turn  on  the  analyzer,  you  need  to  configure  the  basic  operation  parameters.  To 

perform the setting, select the settings tab 

 in the main menu mode using
