The benefit is that the battery life, based on a 350
Ω
sensor bridge being connected, increases
from 45 hours to 450 hours.
It is also important to remember that when the TR150 is re-calibrated with a sensor, the power
save facility will be automatically turned off. If required, the power save facility will therefore
need to be re-activated after calibration has been completed.
AUtO OFF
Parameter
The
AUtO OFF
parameter is another power saving feature. It allows for the setting of a time
period in minutes, between 05 and 99 (00 de-activates
AUtO OFF
) ie. if this was set to 25, then
if the TR150 detects no keyboard activity for a continuous 25 minute period, then the TR150 will
switch itself off to conserve power. If any keyboard activity is detected during the 25 minutes,
then the time period is restarted.
This can be a useful feature in a site environment, should the TR150 be left unintentionally
powered on.
rS232
Parameter
This parameter allows the user to enable the RS232 output from the TR150, by pressing
when prompted by
EnAbLEd?
on the display. Pressing
will disable the RS232.
The output format is ASCII. The display value is passed to the RS232 port each time the display
updates, with a carriage return at the end of each data string. The string information is as
follows:-
Baud Rate =
9600 baud
Stop bits
=
