Operating Instructions
Start-up Procedure
After unpacking the 1830A and setting up in the proper operating environment, plug in the
AC power cord. Do not connect any cables at this point. Press the POWER button located on
the lower left side of the 1830A. When the 1830A finishes the power on cycle, it will power
into Standby Mode.
Figure 4.1 1830A Start-up Screen
Standby Mode
The 1830A Standby Mode shuts down measurement capability; minimal current will flow
through the sensor. This capability is needed to change sensors and is needed upon initial
power up. Because of the 1830A’s unique capability to connect to any thermistor m
ount it
is necessary to have different connections. This makes it very important that the 1830A be
placed in Standby prior to changing sensors.
There are two suggested ways to place the 1830A in Standby Mode:
•
Unit power cycle
•
Through the instrument menus
NOTE There is a third way that the instrument will enter Standby Mode. If a sensor is
removed the instrument will attempt to refresh the measurement at the normal interval.
The instrument will then detect an unbalanced voltage and will prompt the user to place
unit in standby. This is not a recommended procedure and should not be the normal way
of removing a sensor.
