1. GETTING STARTED with your Presidium Duo Tester  
II (PDT II)

Powering up your Presidium Duo Tester II

This  tester  can  be  powered  either  by  the  use  of  an  AC 
adaptor  or  through  the  use  of  batteries.  If AC  adaptor  is 
used, connect one end of the AC adaptor to the tester and 
the other end directly into a suitable electrical outlet. Please 
ensure that only the adaptor supplied by Presidium is used.

If  batteries  are  used  (5  x AA  batteries),  take  note  of  the 
positive  (+)  and  negative  (-)  directions  of  batteries  when 
inserting the batteries into the tester 

(Fig. 1.1).

 The use of 

alkaline batteries is preferred, as it should generally give 
approximately  eight  hours  of  continuous  operation,  while 
the use of ordinary batteries will give a shorter working life.

Turning on your Presidium Duo Tester II

Insert the probe pen into the socket at the side of the tester 

(Fig. 1.2).

 Note that the probe pen must be inserted into the 

socket before turning on the unit. Otherwise, the indicator 
will rise to the dark grey zone (Diamond) when turned on.
