7. Getting started

The instrument stands on a granite surface table (or e.i. cast Iron table)

-Switch ON the instrument by pressing the key (ON).

-The display will show

rEF I

M M

-The reference of the column must be taken :

-Move the probe (A) slowly and cross the two arrows to take the reference. This operation will memorized this reference point improve

the accuracy of the instrument.

-The display will begin to count.

If during this operation the display doesn’t count.

restart the operation again.

-If the indicator (36) showing complete battery discharge, connect the AC adaptor. The instrument remains opérational.

Complete recharging takes 15 hours.

-It will not do any harm by connecting the AC adaptor continiously, because it will charge the instrument with a maintenance power.

IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO WAIT FOR THE INSTRUMENT TO BE FULLY CHARGED BEFORE USE :

INSTRUMENT CAN BE USED DURING CHARGE CYCLE.

8. REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK

As sson as the autonomy of the instrument becomes unsufficient, the battery pack should be changed.(Lifespan about 4 to 6 years)

1.Purchase a battery pack from your TRIMOS distributor.

2.Switch off the instrument.

3.Place the instrument in an horizontal position onto a table. (steady)

4.Unscrew the base plate. (5 screws)

5.Disconnect the battery pack (A)

6.Connect the new battery pack and refit the base plate. Take care not to damage Any connecting cables.

7.Charge the new battery pack ~15 heures.
