Selecting and using batteries:

The FracSim meter uses a switching power supply and can accept
battery voltages from 6.5 to 20 volts. The higher the voltage, the less
current it draws due to the switching power supply. Using the
supplied battery holder you can use 2 X “9V

. Alkaline batteries work

but can be substituted with "9V"rechargeable batteries.

The battery voltage is momentarily displayed when the meter
powers up. The Battery voltage dictates the maximum voltage on
frequency simulate and current sourcing modes.

To open the battery compartment remove the 4 screws on the
bottom of the meter. This will release the battery cover. Disconnect
the connectors on the top of the batteries to remove them from the
meter. Avoid contacting the battery pack connector terminals
incorrectly with the battery pack terminals (reverse polarity). This
has been tested and does not cause immediate damage but is not
recommended.

Cold weather operation:

In colder weather (less than 0˚C), the meter should be powered up
inside before being exposed to the colder weather. The FracSim
meter is calibrated at 22˚C, the highest level of accuracy is at 22˚C
(the temperature where it was calibrated at).

Fail Safe Contrast boot:

If the meter's displays contrast is far out of adjustment you can
power up the meter in a special mode to set the contrast. Follow
these steps: Power on the meter by pressing the button but continue
to hold down the button. The meter will beep a pulse beep for about
7 seconds. when the beep turns into a continuous tone release the
button. the meter will now change contrast slowly. When the text
becomes clearly visible press the button again to set

Warnings:

Do not open the case:

Opening the case beyond the battery compartment will void
warranty. There are no user serviceable parts. The current measure
has 130 ohm’s resistance with a PTC and cannot be damaged even
with a dead short (maximum 30 volts).

●30 VDC MAX.

● NOT INTRINSICALLY SAFE.

● DO NOT APPLY THE CURRENT SOURCE OUTPUT OF
THE FRACSIM METER TO THE GND OF ANOTHER
VOLTAGE SUPPLY, THIS MAY GENERATE A HIGHER
VOLTAGE DUE TO THE SERIES EFFECT AND
DAMMAGE THE FRACSIM METER.

● BE AWARE OF THE ACCURACY SPECIFICATIONS OF
THIS DEVICE. PLEASE REFERENCE THE SPECS AND
MAKE SURE THEY ARE WITHIN YOUR TOLERANCE.
