5. USING THE AUTO600
It is recommended that the AUTO600 is used with Bluetooth
communications as this avoids use of cables and potential trip hazards. It
is also a very convenient method of operation as it gives the user greater
flexibility in taking smoke measurements.
Connect the AUTO600’s base unit
to the mains or DC adapter and
press the ON/OFF button. Use a
long key press on the handset to
turn the instrument on. This will
initiate the AUTO600’s start up
sequence.
The handset screen will display the
system status and the warm-up
sequence begins.
The screen will display the warm
up time and the LEDs on the base
unit will start to flash in sequence
for up to twenty five minutes
depending on the ambient
temperature.
The three LEDs on the base unit represent each of the three internal
heaters and will flash slowly between dim and bright until operating
temperature has been reached when the flash rate will change.
Once the AUTO600 has reached operating temperature and performed a
zero calibration, the handset display will change and indicate vehicle
category, measurement units and Bluetooth connectivity as below.
