5.1.4 Verifying Communication Before a Testing Session
Prior to going out in the field to use the Universal Insulator Tester, testing the long-range
Bluetooth communication between the Probe and the Tablet/Laptop is advised. This can only be
done with the Probe activated. After communication has been established, the Probe and long
range Bluetooth adaptor can be switched off again before going out into the field.
5.1.5 Switching the Probe On
To activate the Probe, remove the Power Switch Cover and move the power switch to the right,
toward the DB-9 connector, as shown in Figure 9. The Probe will first enter the Power-On Self-
Test (
POST ). See 5.2.5.1 for details.
Ensure the slide switch on the Bluetooth adapter is in the DCE position. Insert the long range
Bluetooth Serial adapter into the DB-9 Serial port of the Insulator Tester Probe. The long range
Bluetooth Serial adapter is powered by the battery of the Probe.
