Note:  Volume  and  sensitivity  are  not  the  same.    Volume  adjusts  the 
loudness  of  the  signal  in  the  headset.    Sensitivity  adjusts  the  meters 
reaction to the incoming signal.  

Selecting the Sensor: 

Press  the  “MODE”  button  until  the  alphanumeric  display  reads  “AirH”,  “AirL”, 
“PrbH”, “PrbL”, or “PrbS”.  The instrument will wait 3 seconds after releasing the 

MODE  button  for  you  to  press  the   

  or 

  button  which  locks  in  the 

sensor/frequency selection.   

Adjusting the Display: 

The  alphanumeric  display  offers  three  viewing  options.    Continuous,  Peak,  and 

Off.  Press the “MODE” button twice.  The display will read “Disp” until released, 
then  show  the  current  setting.    Pressing  the  “

”  or  “

  buttons  it  will  scroll 

through  the  display  options  which  are  as  follows...     

“Cont”

 = Continuous,   the 

A.N.D.  will  show  the  level  of  the  signal  in  real  time. 

 

“Peak”

  =  Peak  Hold,  the 

A.N.D.  will  hold  the  highest  reading  for  5  seconds.     

“Off”

  =  Turns  the 

alphanumeric display off (with the exception of the “

-

“).  Since this display is not 

necessary  for  most  airborne  applications,  turning  it  off  can  save  a  tremendous 
amount of battery.  

 

NOTE:

 The adjustments you have just made are now in memory, and will remain 

there until they are changed or the battery is removed.  

 

“Hidden” MODE Options

 

There are other features that the “MODE” button can be used for.

 

1. 

Checking  the  serial  #...

    While  the  unit  is  powered  OFF,  hold  down  the 

“MODE” button.  Now turn the unit on while holding down the “MODE” button.  

The VPE-2000 will show its serial number in the alphanumeric display. 

2. 

Calibration...   

The  instrument  is  field  calibratable  when  a  calibrator  is 

purchased.    There  is  detailed  operational  information  available  by  pressing 
certain combinations of buttons.
