To return the unit to its storage configuration, reverse the above
procedure.
Inserting the batteries
The Surtronic Duo uses four 3V Lithium 2450 batteries,
one in the Control Unit and three in the Traverse Unit.
To insert the batteries, remove the battery covers as shown.
Insert the new batteries as shown, taking care to observe the correct
polarity. Replace the battery covers.
After replacing the batteries there will be a short delay following switch on
before normal operation resumes.
Removing the batteries
If the Surtronic Duo is not going to be used for an extended period of time, it is recommended that
the batteries are removed from both the Control Unit and Traverse Unit.
To remove the battery from the Control Unit, remove the battery cover and then press on the edge
of the battery at a point adjacent to either of the two cut-outs in the moulding as shown. The
battery can then be tipped out of the Unit. Replace the battery cover.
To remove the batteries from the Traverse Unit, remove the battery cover and then press down on
the edge of the battery closest to the centre-line of the Unit. The top battery can then be slid out
of the battery compartment. The remaining batteries can be removed by tipping them out of the
Unit. Replace the battery cover.

Battery low indication
During a measurement, if the battery power in either unit is low, then a low battery indication will be
given. The following displays are used to indicate a low battery condition and to identify the affected
unit.
Switching on
The Control Unit is powered whenever the batteries are in place. The unit
automatically enters a power saving mode after five minutes from the last
operation. During power saving mode the display is turned off. To activate
the unit, press any button. The display will be activated again and the
welcome screen displayed.
The Traverse Unit automatically enters a power saving mode after five
minutes from the last operation. In this mode a minimal current is drawn,
sufficient only to maintain the power control circuitry. To reactivate the
Traverse Unit press the On button. An LED on the side of the Unit flashes to
confirm activation.
Making a measurement
There are two modes for operating the Surtronic Duo:
Connected Mode and Remote Mode.
Operation of the Control Unit is identical, whether the system is in Connected mode or Remote
mode.
On the Control Unit use the Select Parameter button to select the parameter that is required to be
displayed upon completion of the measurement.
Use the Select Mode button to select either metric or inch units as required.
Remote Mode.
In remote mode the
Control Unit is
positioned within 1m of
the Traverse Unit and
data is passed between
the two units over the
IrDA link.
Note:
The alignment
between the Traverse
Unit and Control Unit
must be maintained
throughout the
measurement process.
Connected Mode.
In connected mode
the Control Unit is
connected to the
Traverse Unit as
shown before the
measurement is
made.
To connect the
Control Unit to the
Traverse Unit, insert
the Control Unit as
shown and tilt until the
latch engages.
