Optical eye
The optical eye can be used for data communication via the optical interface. The optical eye is placed on the front of
the integrator just above the display as shown in the picture below. Please note that the optical eye includes a very
strong magnet, which should be covered by a protection plate when not in use.
MULTICAL
302 does not include a metal plate, which can retain the reading head's magnet. Therefore, the optical
reading head must be held in place manually during brief data readings.
In connection with prolonged data readings, reading of data loggers, or if you want the optical reading head to be
retained on the meter for other reasons, you can use a transparent holder, which is clicked onto the meter.
Different variants of the optical eye (with USB-plug and 9-pole D-Sub plug) appear from the list of accessories (see
paragraph 3.2.3).
13.2.1
Power-saving in connection with the optical eye
In order to limit the power consumption of the circuit around the optical eye, the circuit is not permanently switched
on.
It is activated by pressing the key. The circuit will remain on 4 minutes after the last activation of the button.
