OPERATION 4
BACK PANELINPUTS
The back of the AWS-4050 contains various interface connections:
Transducer Input (12-pin connector).
To install or remove the cable simply push in or pull out. Do this by gripping the outer metal case of the cable and NEVER from the cord itself. THIS IS NOT
A TWIST LOCK CABLE!
DC In
The interface for the AC Adapter supplied with the unit. Use this if you plan on working under Mains power. Use only the AC adapter provided with the unit. Use of another power source will void the warranty and may cause severe damage to the display.
RS-232
If you are downloading to a printer, data collector, computer, etc., this is the mini-plug interface for the RS-232 cable. Values are sent via RS-232 every time the unit auto-clears or the ENT/clr button is pressed
CHARGINGTHEBATTERIES
1.The batteries in this system should last approximately 12 hours when fully charged. The Low-Battery indicator on the display will illuminate when the battery voltage is low. Typically, the user will have between 15-30 minutes before the batteries become too weak to power the unit.
2.The batteries are charged any time the system is plugged-in. In Fast Charge mode, i.e. the unit is plugged in and the power is OFF, charge time is between 2 and 4 hours depending on battery charge level. The green LED on the front panel will flash when the battery is charging and turned off. It is recommended the tester be plugged in when not in use. This will not harm the unit and will increase battery life.
Note: If the tester is to be stored for several months, always ensure the battery is completely charged prior to storage.
RS-232
The AWS-4050 display can be connected to a printer, computer or data collector via its RS232 interface. Every time a reading is accepted into memory, a peak is cleared, or data is transmitted via the print data menu(s),

it is transmitted via the RS-232 port. To download the readings, go to the
DATA MENU.
