6.0 MAKING MEASUREMENTS
Quick Start
For experienced users, or for those who particularly
dislike reading operating descriptions, the following is a
quick start procedure to get you up and running as soon
as possible:
NOTE:
This meter uses the same probe connector as
Holaday's HI n 3627 ELF Magnetic Field Meter.
Consequently, if you use both meters, it is
possible to connect the probe from one meter
to the instrumentation/readout package of the
other meter, resulting in erroneous readings.
To prevent this, color bands are placed on
both the probe and the readout: on the probe,
the color band surrounds the center of the
spherical probe housing; on the readout, the
color band surrounds the multi-pin connector
at the top of the chassis. The colors used are
orange (HI n 3627) and yellow (HI n 3637).
When performing Step 1, below, be sure the
color band on the probe matches the color
band on the instrumentation/readout package.
Step 1. Plug the probe into the multi-pin connector
at top of the meter.
Step 2. Turn the meter on by rotating the range
selector switch one position clockwise.
NOTE:
The Battery Low LED will flash momentarily
when the meter is turned on.
Step 3. Verify that neither the Over Range nor
Battery LEDs are illuminated.
Step 4. Make measurements with the range selector
switch set for the maximum reading without
an over range indication.
