5.Operation
This chapter describes the steps that are executed frequently when using the
product.
5.1Connecting a probe
Plug-in probes
Plug-in probes must be connected before the measuring instrument is
switched on so that they are recognised by the instrument.
i Insert the connector of the probe into the probe socket of the measuring
instrument.
Radio probes
Radio probes may only be used in countries in which they have been Type
Approved (see application information of the radio probe).
A radio module (accessory part) is required for the use of radio probes. The
radio module must be connected before the measuring instrument is switched
on so that it is recognised by the measuring instrument.
Each radio probe has a probe ID (identification number) which must be set in
configuration mode.

Radio probes may only be used in countries in which they have been Type
Approved (see application information of the radio probe).
A radio module (accessory part) is required for the use of radio probes. The
instrument can establish a connection with a maximum of three radio probes.
Each radio probe has a probe ID (RF ID). This consists of the last 3 digits of the
serial no. and the position of the slide switch (H or L) in the radio probe.

If no radio probes were found, this may be because of the following:
· The radio probe is not switched on or the battery of the radio probe is
spent.
· The radio probe is outside the range of the measuring instrument.
· Sources of interference are influencing the radio transmission (e.g.
reinforced concrete, metal objects, walls or other barriers between
transmitter and receiver, other transmitters of the same frequency,
strong electromagnetic fields).
i If necessary, rectify the possible causes of the fault in radio
transmission.
Alternatively, the probe ID can also be entered manually.

7.Measuring
This chapter describes the steps that are required to perform measurements
with the product.
Particular probes must be plugged in or switched on and registered (radio
probes) according to the variable that is to be measured.
Some probes require a warming-up phase until they are ready to measure.
The heat transfer coefficient (alpha) must be set before the U value can be
calculated.
º See CALCULATION, p. 51.
If the U value probe 0614 1635 is plugged in, a plugged probe is used for
calculation first, else radio probe 1, 2 or 3.
