5.3.3  Backlight 

The receiver unit is equipped with the backlight option. To activate the backlight, just a corresponding 
button should be pressed. The transmitter has no backlight function. 

5.3.4  Mute 

On the transmitter, mute function can be activated via the button for muting. After that, the device does 
not make any sound when the button is pressed. Renewed pressing of the same button activates the 
sound again.  
On the receiver, the backlight / mute button must be pressed for one second. Thus the tones are turned 
off. Renewed pressing for one second brings this setting back.   

5.3.5  Automatic shutdown 

Of both devices only the receiver has an automatic shutdown function. This works only then, when for 
about 10 minutes no activity via button pressing or similar takes place. To switch transmitter off the Power 
button must be used. 
 

6  Maintenance 

6.1  Finding errors / Troubleshooting  

If the device does not measure correctly, the following points should be checked first: 
 
Problem 

Please check: 

Solution  

The device cannot be turned on 

Are all the batteries used? 

 
Insert new batteries 
 

Is the battery voltage too low? 

Are the batteries inserted with 
correct polarity? 

Check, if the polarity is correct  

The transmitter does not display 
the external voltage 
 

Is there a sufficient contact? 

Connect the cable again 

Is the measuring sensor 
defective? 

Replace the measuring sensor.  

Is the measuring sensor 
inserted completely? 

Insert the measuring sensor 
completely 

Is the test lead defective? 

Renew the test lead 

Is the test lead inserted 
completely? 

Insert the test lead completely 

The power supply is interrupted 
during the measurement 

Is the battery voltage too low? 

Insert new batteries 

Has the device turned off 
automatically? 

Turn the device on again 
 

The transmitter cannot display 
any signals transmitted by it.  

Was the button for transmission 
pressed? 

Start the transmission again 
 

Is the fuse of the device 
defective? 

Send the device back 

 

6.2  Fuse 

The fuse on the transmitter can prevent its damage caused by overload or false application. If the fuse of 
the transmitter does not function correctly any longer, the transmitter itself can produce only weak signals. 
If the self-test of the transmitter was successful, but it still sends only weak signals, it means that the 
transmission works, but the fuse does not work correctly any more. If not signal was found during the 
transmission in the process of self-test and the device has got the batteries with sufficient battery voltage, 
it means that the transmitter is defective and must be repaired by the qualified personnel or replaced.  
 
Procedures and steps for checking the fuse: 
 

1.  Interrupt all the measuring correct circuits of the transmitter. 
2.  Turn the transmitter on and set it into the transmission mode. 
3.  Set the power of the transmitter to I. 
4.  Connect the end of the test lead to the connector of the transmitter.
