Chapter 2: Using Your CalTrak 800
Getting Started
Ensure that the included 12V 3A AC power supply is connected to the base. Install the desired cell onto the base. All cells, except the -75 cell,
should be installed with the blue adapter ring in place. If using the -75 cell, remove the adapter ring by rotating counter clockwise and lift off.
Turning the CalTrak 800 On and Off
Flip the power switch in the rear of the CalTrak SL 800 base to start the unit. An opening screen will appear followed by the splash screen.
The CalTrak SL 800 is designed to operate using only AC power, this unit does not have a battery. Ensure that your unit is plugged in prior to
turning on.
Communications Ports
The CalTrak SL 800 includes a USB-B port and RS-232 serial port for bidirectional communication, including data download and operation
using the CalTrak Pro software. The USB port includes a driver and does not require any additional driver download.
New firmware, as it becomes available, can be easily uploaded through the USB or RS-232 serial ports.
The side of the base contains a gold port that is used for pressure calibration at our facility. Nothing should be inserted into this port by the
user.
On the back on the base is the clock signal port. This is used for verifying clock timing.
