Data Will Not Print
•
If the IR transmitter and receiver are not aligned, all the
data may not print. The infrared ports on the top of the
analyzer and on the printer below the MODE button
should be pointed directly at each other. The maximum
distance for reliable transmission between the ports is 17
in (45 cm).
•
To realign, press the END button to cancel the print job.
Verify alignment between the analyzer and printer; then
try to print the test results again.
•
Make sure the printer is on. The printer shuts off after two
minutes of inactivity to conserve the batteries. To turn
the printer on, briefly press the MODE button. The green
STATUS light should turn on. Make sure you are using the
Midtronics printer. Other printers may not be compatible.
•
Direct sunlight interferes with infrared data transmission
and receiving. If the printer is not receiving data, remove
the printer and tester from direct sunlight. If the printed
characters are not clear or are partially missing, recharge
the batteries and reprint.
•
If you are unable to print after ensuring the analyzer is
functioning, the printer is on, the batteries are good, and
the IR transmitter and receiver are aligned, check the
printer manual for further instructions or call Midtronics
at 1-630-323-2800 for assistance.
If the analyzer frequently displays CHECK CLAMP CONNECTION!
there may be an intermittent open circuit along one or both of
the battery test cables. You can check the circuit with a simple
test. The test requires an ohmmeter and a wire or paper clip
if the ohmmeter probes are too large to insert into the pin
holes. You will also need to a pencil or plastic marker to keep
the clamp jaws apart. The test is the same for cable sets with
clamps having two or one set of teeth.
