BASIC MEASUREMENT:

The 8718B was designed with the new or occasional user
in mind so that the most common mistakes cannot hap
pen.

No range changes—the meter automatically displays

·

a numeric value over the probe’s entire measurement
range.

No confusing scales—simply select the correct probe

·

(the meter even makes you double check) and the
meter will display the correct reading

Even the occasional user will be able to make use of the
8718B’s advanced features. Experienced surveyors can
do everything with a single instrument— accurately and in
considerably less time than with any other instrument.
The key is to access the menu system which is always
available via one of the four function keys.

The menu options are:

DATA LOG

· Log data points with time & date stamp plus reference
number

· Log spatially averaged points with reference number

· Continuous logging at various rates

TIME AVERAGE

·

Turns fixed time averaging (various duration) on or off

·

Select "standards" averaging that automatically selects
the averaging period to match the standard or guidance
selected

SPATIAL AVERAGING

·

Turns the spatial averaging mode on or off

BATTERY/LITE

·

Check battery charge status and estimated time
remaining

·

­No unit calculations—simply select the unit you want.

·

Only units appropriate for the probe are allowed.

No multiplication for probe correction factors—simply

·

enter the frequency of the source you are surveying
and the corrected measurement value is displayed.

CORRECTION FACTOR

Enter a numeric probe correction factor so that the me

·

ter will automatically show the corrected value

SETTINGS
