4. OSCILLATOR OPERATION
4.1. OSCILLATOR POWER UP
Inserting the test lead into to the OSCILLATOR’s socket initiates
the OSCILLATOR power up cycle.
The OSCILLATOR flashes all six of its lights (LEDS) once
simultaneously (< 0.5sec) to indicate that the leads have been
correctly inserted and battery power is present. The OSCILLATOR
then performs a battery level check and displays the battery strength
in the form of a light array bar graph. Maximum battery capacity
displays all six lights but if the battery is nearly flat and needs
replacing, only one light is displayed (See figures 4-1a, 4-1b, 4-1c).
If no lights are displayed then the battery voltage is insufficient for
any operation and should be replaced.
Figure 4-1 Light array indicating: (a) FLAT, (b) LOW, (c) FULL battery level
After indicating the battery level the OSCILLATOR enters TONE
mode. The light next to the symbol will flash every 3 seconds
indicating that the OSCILLATOR is on and generating a tone
signal.
The factory default tone is referred to as the Warble. This is the
tone that will be heard coming from the PROBE when using the
OSCILLATOR in TONE mode for the first time. Three other tones
are available and can be selected using the PROBE (refer to section
5.3 TONES).
4.2. OSCILLATOR POWER OFF
Removing the OSCILLATOR’s test lead from the socket
immediately turns off the OSCILLATOR.
4.3. CABLE SHORT CIRCUIT DETECTION
When this feature is enabled, the OSCILLATOR can be used for
confirming traces over short distances without using a PROBE.
