Section 1 - Introduction

The Universal Verbalizer UV1000 is a handheld portable device that
verbalizes 0 to 10 VDC voltage input, 0 to 20 mA current input and K
type thermocouple input. The unit has a four switch keypad allowing
the user to select different input verbalization, providing volume
control, command talk and continuous talk.

Model UV1000 comes with RS232 PC interface, allowing the user to
configure the input(s) for any specific applications, and setting high &
low alarm set points. The user can configure the input for a specific
input range, Engineering scale, and Engineering unit by selecting from
over 100 built-in engineering units.

Model UV1000 operates from 2 "AA" size batteries or a 5 Vdc adaptor
input. The unit also comes with ear phone jack, power switch, and
speech mode switch.

This device is not intended to replace, substitute for, or reduce the need for
visual displays. For safety purposes, it is essential that a visual display be
monitored in conjunction with the verbalizer at all times.

The Universal Verbalizer UV1000 is not designed to measure high voltage
or current signals. It is designed to measure up to 10 Vdc max. voltage and
20 mA max. current signals.
