About Probe Operation

For complete information on setting up and operating the field monitor, software, and other devices available for the laser and battery-operated field probes, please see the documentation provided with those products.
Field probes are nominally rated for operation within a specific frequency range, but may also respond to signals above and below those frequencies. A probe may exhibit response to frequencies below the lower end of the range, and may also respond to frequencies above the upper end of the range, though not consistently or predictably.
Keep all conductive objects away from laser-powered and battery-operated probes. Conductive objects in the proximity of the probe can distort the near field and compromise measurement accuracy. If the application requires measurements from a fixed position, always mount the probe on a non-metallic platform, using non-metallic screws.

Laser Probes and Maintenance of Fiber Optics

The fiber optic connectors and cables used with laser-powered probes can be damaged from airborne particles, humidity and moisture, oils from the human body, and debris from the connectors they plug into. Always handle connectors and cables with care, using the following guidelines.
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the fiber optic cables from the unit and turn off power.
When disconnecting fiber optic cables, apply the included dust caps to the ends to maintain their integrity.
Before connecting fiber optic cables, clean the connector tips and in-line connectors.
Before attaching in-line connectors, clean them with moisture-free compressed air.
Failure to perform these tasks may result in damage to the fiber optic connectors or cables.

4.0 Laser-Powered Field Probes

The HI-61XX Series LaserPro™ Field Probe is a laser-powered probe, an
excellent tool for electric field mapping, industrial monitoring, and EMC field measurements.
The HI-61XX Series probes contain a photo-voltaic converter that provides power to the probe circuitry when sufficient light power is received by the converter. The light power is generated by a laser in the HI-6113 Laser Data Interface (LDI), and is transmitted to the converter through an optical fiber in the duplex fiber optic cable. The probe communicates with the HI-6113 through this fiber optic cable. Receiving power from the HI-6113 allows for unlimited test times.
The probe system incorporates a safety interlock mechanism that turns off the laser if the HI-6113 does not receive data from the probe within a specified time frame. The safety mechanism is intended to prevent injury from the laser if the HI-6113 issues a command to turn on the laser while the fiber optic cables are disconnected, improperly connected, cut, or damaged.
The HI-6100 Field Monitor may also be used with the HI-61XX Series Field Probe for RFI/EMC testing.
The basic probe is shipped with an attached one-meter fiber optic cable, a 10-meter fiber extension cable, a carrying case, a battery charger, and connectors that extend the length of the fiber optic cable.

HI-4422 OPERATION
The HI-4422 is a battery-operated broadband radio frequency (RF) probe designed for a variety of applications, including broadcast facilities, industrial RF source and electromagnetic compliance (EMC) testing.
The HI-4422 measures field strength in each of three axes. It performs a vector addition calculation on the readings and sends the result to the receiver through a fiber optic cable. Data from each axis can be viewed individually, or can be combined.
Limitations in system resolution may result in a non-zero reading when the receiver is zeroed. If this occurs, it does not mean there is a problem with the receiver, or that the readings are inaccurate. Probe linearity is specified as +0.5 dB full scale. In addition, the variance of the A/D converter is +2 least significant bits. When using the most sensitive range (10 V/m), these specifications create the possibility that, under zero field conditions, the receiver may display a non-zero value.
For a list and description of communication and information transfer protocols, including command structure and probe commands, see Appendix E: Operating Protocols on page 105.

7.0 Probe Shield Care and Replacement

If you have an HI-6122, HI-6022, HI-6105, HI-6005, or HI-4422 Field Probe, over time the probe shields (the cone-shaped structures with axis labels) may accumulate foreign materials that could become embedded in the shield surface. Probe shields must be kept clean to maintain proper operation.
If the probe shields need to be replaced, you may order them from ETS-Lindgren. Follow these steps to replace the probe shields:
1. Remove the nylon screws from the probe shield.
2. Lift the shield straight up and away from the housing.
Lift the shield high enough to clear the internal antenna assembly, or you may damage the assembly. Never touch the antenna assembly. You may transfer a static charge to the assembly that may distort or disable the measuring capability in that axis.
3. With the probe in a protective, supportive position, carefully replace the probe shield by lowering it straight down onto the housing.
Make sure to clear the internal antenna assembly when lowering the shield or you may damage the assembly.
4. Replace the screws snugly without over-tightening them.

for NiMH Batteries
for NiMH Batteries
The HI-6053 Field Probe contains four AAA Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, and uses the Series H-491198-01 Battery Charger.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the Series H-491198-01 Battery Charger, see General Safety Considerations on page ix.
INTRODUCTION
The H-491198-01 Nickel-Metal
Hydride (NiMH) Battery Charger is
a dual power source battery charger. It charges 4.8 volt 220 mA NiMH batteries and is powered by 85-264 VAC line power or 12.5 VDC. The H-491198-01 Battery Charger uses a -(dV)/(dT) negative delta V technique to determine when the battery is fully charged, which is typically two hours. With this technique, the charge state of the battery has no effect other than shortening the charge time.
Housed in a rugged enclosure, power enters the battery charger through a power entry module, which contains the fuses, or an optional cigarette lighter plug adapter. The front face of the battery charger displays LEDs that provide the operating status. The battery charger connects to the device being charged through a short cord terminated with a power jack.

An integrated circuit within the battery charger monitors the battery voltage and controls the charging functions according to the charge state of the battery.
BATTERY LIFE
The NiMH batteries powering the battery-operated probe have high energy density for maximum operating time between charges, but also have a significant self-discharge characteristic. When the probe is stored for longer than a week or two, the batteries will discharge even though not in use. Leaving the batteries in a discharged condition for long periods of time may result in reduced battery life. For optimum testing time, charge the batteries before use.
The battery charger is microprocessor controlled to charge the batteries in the fastest possible manner. When the charger senses that the batteries are fully charged, the charging current drops to a maintenance level. This level is sufficient to maintain the full charged without causing battery damage. It is acceptable to leave the probe connected to the battery charger for extended periods of time.
With proper care, the batteries should last two to three years. Follow these recommendations to ensure maximum battery life and optimum testing performance:
Turn the probe off when the probe is not in use. Leaving the probe on for extended periods of time will damage the batteries. When the batteries are discharged, the flashing power ON indicator will not function.
When possible, leave the robe connected to the battery charger, and the battery charger connected to the mains electrical supply (charger operating). The battery charger status indicators will show CHARGER ON and COMPLETE when the batteries are on a maintenance charge.
Operate the robe only within the optimum operating temperature range
ºC to +30ºC (+68ºF to +86ºF). Although NiMH batteries are
of +20 rated for operation in temperatures from -20
ºF to +140ºF), operating the probe at temperature extremes
(-4 reduces the operating time of the batteries.
Make sure the batteries are fully charged before resuming operation. The batteries do not require periodic deep discharges to reverse the effect caused by repeated shallow discharges, but undercharging can reduce battery capacity.

Fully charged batteries (nominal output voltage of 4.8 VDC) provide up to 30 hours of operation. When the batteries have discharged to 4.4 VDC, the probe will operate, but the batteries need to be charged. When the voltage drops below
4.0 VDC, measurement accuracy may be compromised by continued operation. When the battery voltage indication is less than 4 volts, a low battery indication is attached to the output data string warning of the problem. ETS-Lindgren software applications provide a warning indication on the display screen of the readout device. It is recommended that custom software packages using data from the probe monitor the data output for this condition.
If the batteries exhibit low terminal voltages during charging, or if they appear unable to acquire or maintain a charge, the batteries may be shorted or damaged. To replace the batteries, see HI-6053 Battery Replacement on page 54.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
For maximum battery life, fully charge the batteries before placing the probe into service. Failing to fully charge the batteries may result in reduced battery life and cause premature battery failure.
To charge a battery:
1. Make sure the probe is off or the batteries will not charge.
2. Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then plug the
charger output into the battery charger connector on the probe.
Never attempt to recharge a non-rechargeable battery.
CHARGING INDICATORS
The following LEDs are located on the front of the battery charger:
POWER ON (green)—Indicates the battery charger is connected to the AC power source.
NO BATTERY (amber)—Indicates the battery charger does not detect a battery.

Page 86
Archived 6/29/10
Use only the content for HI-4422 in this manual. Disregard content for all other probe models; see ETS-Lindgren website for other probe content.
PENDING (amber)—Indicates the battery charger detects a battery. Before fast charging can begin, the battery voltage must fall within
predetermined acceptable limits. A pulse-trickle charge is provided to bring a depleted battery to a valid charge prior to fast charge.
CHARGING (amber)—Indicates the voltage pre-qualification condition has been met, and fast charge has started.
Fast charging continues until termination by a peak voltage detect or a maximum charge time. For peak voltage detect, the fast charge is terminated when the battery voltage is lower than the previously measured values by 24mV. If a peak voltage is not detected, then the fast charge is terminated when the maximum time limit of 180 minutes is reached.
COMPLETE (green)—Indicates a fast charging peak voltage is detected.
If the probe is turned on during the fast charge period of the charge cycle, the current surge that the batteries provide to the electronics in the probe will cause a momentary voltage drop on the batteries, causing the charger to terminate the fast charge based on a peak voltage detect condition.
The battery charger switches to top-off charge mode that provides a charge current one-eighth of the fast charge rate. This charge continues from the time when a peak voltage detect terminates the fast charge, until the maximum time of 180 minutes is reached. If the probe is disconnected from the charger at this point in the charge cycle, the batteries will operate properly.
Following the maximum time of 180 minutes, a pulse-trickle charge mode is used to compensate for the self-discharge of the batteries while idle in the charger.
The fast charge current is low enough that there is not always enough heating of the battery cells to cause the voltage to drop. With no voltage drop there is no peak voltage detection, and the fast charge will terminate after the maximum time of 180 minutes is reached.

SYNCHRONIZING THE BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR
The probe has internal circuitry to track the charge condition of the batteries. NiMH batteries have a sharp discharge-curve knee, which means there is little indication that the batteries are nearly discharged prior to a low battery condition. The internal circuitry tracks the charging and discharging currents of the batteries and displays the calculated battery condition.
It is possible that the battery charge indication may lose synchronization with the actual battery condition. A loss of synchronization may be indicated by a low battery charge alert after the batteries were recently fully charged. Loss of synchronization may also be indicated by short battery life and premature low battery alert.
To synchronize the battery charge indicator:
1. Make sure the probe is off or the batteries will not charge.
2. Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then plug the
charger output into the battery charger connector on the probe.
3. Press the DISCHARGE button on the battery charger. The batteries will fully discharge, and then fully recharge. The total time required to discharge and recharge is approximately seven hours.
4. For best results, repeat the process once. However, it may be necessary to repeat the process three times for proper synchronization. The synchronization process may take up to 12 hours.
When completely charged, the battery indicator for the probe should indicate a charge level of more than 90%.
DISCHARGING A BATTERY
To discharge the batteries:
1. Make sure the probe is off or the batteries will not charge.
2. Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then plug the
charger output into the battery charger connector on the probe.

ETS-Lindgren software applications provide a warning indication on the display screen of the readout device. It is recommended that custom software packages using data from the probe monitor the data output for this condition.
If the battery exhibits low terminal voltages during charging, or if it appears unable to acquire or maintain a charge, individual cells in the battery may be shorted or damaged. If your battery needs replacement for any reason, contact ETS-Lindgren Customer Service.
CHARGING A BATTERY
For maximum battery life, fully charge the battery for the probe before placing the probe into service. Failing to fully charge the battery may result in reduced battery life and cause premature battery failure.
To charge a battery:
1. Make sure the power switch on the probe is set to the OFF position or the battery will not charge.
2. Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then connect the charger output to the charger jack on the probe.
Never attempt to recharge a non-rechargeable battery.
CHARGING INDICATORS
The following LEDs are located on the front of the battery charger:
POWER ON (green)—Indicates the battery charger is connected to the AC power source.
NO BATTERY (amber)—Indicates the battery charger does not detect a battery.

Use only the content for HI-4422 in this manual. Disregard content for all other probe models; see ETS-Lindgren website for other probe content.
PENDING (amber)—Indicates the battery charger detects a battery. Before fast charging can begin, the battery voltage must fall within
predetermined acceptable limits. A pulse-trickle charge is provided to bring a depleted battery to a valid charge prior to fast charge.
CHARGING (amber)—Indicates the voltage pre-qualification condition has been met, and fast charge has started.
Fast charging continues until termination by a peak voltage detect or a maximum charge time. For peak voltage detect, the fast charge is terminated when the battery voltage is lower than the previously measured values by 24mV. If a peak voltage is not detected, then the fast charge is terminated when the maximum time limit of 180 minutes is reached.
COMPLETE (green)—Indicates a fast charging peak voltage is detected.
If the probe is turned on during the fast charge period of the charge cycle, the current surge that the battery provides to the electronics in the probe will cause a momentary voltage drop on the battery, causing the charger to terminate the fast charge based on a peak voltage detect condition.
The battery charger switches to top-off charge mode that provides a charge current one-eighth of the fast charge rate. This charge continues from the time when a peak voltage detect terminates the fast charge, until the maximum time of 180 minutes is reached. If the probe is disconnected from the charger at this point in the charge cycle, the battery will operate properly.
Following the maximum time of 180 minutes, a pulse-trickle charge mode is used to compensate for the self-discharge of the battery while idle in the charger.
The batteries are small, and the fast charge current is low. The fast charge current is low enough that there is not always enough heating of the battery cells to cause the voltage to drop. With no voltage drop there is no peak voltage detection, and the fast charge will terminate after the maximum time of 180 minutes is reached.

SYNCHRONIZING THE BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR
The probe has internal circuitry to track the charge condition of the battery. NiMH batteries have a sharp discharge-curve knee, which means there is little indication that the battery is nearly discharged prior to a low battery condition. The internal circuitry tracks the charging and discharging currents of the battery and displays the calculated battery condition.
It is possible that the battery charge indication may lose synchronization with the actual battery condition. A loss of synchronization may be indicated by a low battery charge alert after the battery was recently fully charged. Loss of synchronization may also be indicated by short battery life and premature low battery alert.
To synchronize the battery charge indicator:
1. Make sure the power switch on the probe is set to the OFF position or the battery will not charge.
2. Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then connect the charger output to the charger jack on the probe.
3. Press the DISCHARGE button on the battery charger. The battery will fully discharge, and then fully recharge. The total time required to discharge and recharge is approximately seven hours.
4. For best results, repeat the process once. However, it may be necessary to repeat the process three times for proper synchronization. The synchronization process may take up to 12 hours.
When completely charged, the battery indicator for the probe should indicate a charge level of more than 90%.
DISCHARGING A BATTERY
To discharge a battery:
1. Make sure the power switch on the probe is set to the OFF position or the battery will not charge.
2. Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then connect the charger output to the charger jack on the probe.

for NiCd Batteries
The HI-4422 Field Probe contains a Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) battery, and uses the Series H-491198-36 Battery Charger.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the Series H-491198-36 Battery Charger, see General Safety Considerations on page ix.
INTRODUCTION
The H-491198-48 Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd)
Battery Charger is a dual power source
battery charger. It charges 3.6 volt 1400 mAH NiCd batteries and is powered by 120-240 VAC line power or 12.5 VDC. The H-491198-36 Battery Charger uses a
-(dV)/(dT) negative delta V technique to determine when the battery is fully charged, which is typically one hour. With this technique, the charge state of the battery has no effect other than shortening the charge time.
Housed in a rugged enclosure, power enters the battery charger through a power entry module, which contains the fuses, or an optional cigarette lighter plug adapter. The front face of the battery charger displays LEDs that provide the operating status. The battery charger connects to the device being charged through a short cord terminated with a power jack.
An integrated circuit within the battery charger monitors the battery voltage and controls the charging functions according to the charge state of the battery.

BATTERY LIFE
A fully-charged battery (nominal output voltage of 3.6 VDC) provides up to 40 hours of operation. When the battery has discharged to 3.3 VDC, the probe is still operational, but the battery needs charging. When the voltage drops below
3.18 VDC, measurement accuracy will be compromised by further operation.
Follow these recommendations to ensure maximum battery life and optimum testing performance:
Operate the probe only within the optimum operating temperature range of +20 are rated for operation in temperatures from -20
°F to +140°F), operating the probe at temperature extremes
(-4 reduces the operating time of the batteries.
Make sure the battery is fully charged before resuming operation. The battery does not require periodic deep discharges to reverse the effect caused by repeated shallow discharges, but undercharging can reduce battery capacity.
If the battery exhibits low terminal voltages during charging, or if it appears unable to acquire or maintain a charge, individual cells in the battery may be shorted or damaged. If your battery needs replacement for any reason, contact ETS-Lindgren Customer Service.

CHARGING A BATTERY
1. Make sure the power switch on the probe is set to the OFF position or
the battery will not charge.
2. Connect the battery charger to the proper power source, and then connect the charger to the charger jack on the probe.
Charging takes approximately one hour, depending on the degree of battery discharge. When charging is complete, the battery charger automatically enters into a trickle charge, and continues until the probe is disconnected.
Never attempt to recharge a non-rechargeable battery.
