OPERATION
In User Set mode the CPM and UP, DOWN keys function differently
than MP mode. The CPM key becomes a key used to select the digits
of the refill and discharge time settings found at the rightmost positions
on the display. The UP and DOWN keys are used to adjust the digit
value up or down. By selecting and adjusting digits up and down a user
can quickly set any time from 00.1 seconds to 99.9 seconds. Sampling
in User Set mode is the same as explained, above, for MP mode.
The MP10 does not attempt to translate a user set time into a corres-
ponding ID or CPM. Also, any settings you have entered in MP or ID
modes are lost once you press the MODE key to enter MN mode.
Note:
changes in time settings that are entered while the controller is cycling
are reflected on the next cycle change (so a long refill time of 15 sec-
onds will time out before a new refill time becomes valid).
MP10 Battery -
The MP10 features sophisticated power-supply circ-
uitry that optimizes battery life. A fresh set of AA batteries will pro-
vide more than 100 hours of controller operation at normal operating
temperatures. As ambient temperatures drop below 15-20F (-9C to
-6C), the ability of the alkaline batteries to deliver energy is affected.
Continuous operation may be difficult in extremely cold conditions.
Once the batteries and MP10 warm, additional cycle capacity will be
regained from a set of batteries. drop below 15-20F (-9C to -6C), the
ability of the alkaline batteries to deliver energy is affected. Contin-
uous operation may be difficult in extremely cold conditions. Once the
batteries and MP10 warm, additional cycle capacity will be regained
from a set of batteries.
Replace alkaline batteries by removing the 4 thumbscrews located on
the battery cover and inserting 3 fresh cells. The MP10 battery holder
includes space for
3 spare AA cells
so you should never be without
power in the field. Properly dispose of the spent alkaline cells.
Note: If you are storing the MP10 for more than 3 months, remove the
AA batteries to prevent leakage. The MP10 power supply is automatic-
ally shut off by closing the lid. Make sure the lid is closed during
storage.
