7. Commissioning

a) Inserting the Battery
Before you can work with the meter for the first time, you need to insert a new 9V block battery (alkaline). Insert the
battery as described in the chapter "Cleaning and Maintenance".

b) Connection of the Measuring Sensor

Connect the measuring cable (round sensor connection (6)) to the sensor (7). The plug only fits the sensor in the cor-
rect polarity. When connecting, observe the groove and the metal bridge in the plug. The plug connection is locked at
the closure ring by turning. Always observe tight fit of the plug, since there may be wrong measurements otherwise.

c) Selection of the Sensor Prods

The sensor can be equipped with different sensor prods for special surfaces. The
prods are screwed onto the sensor tip with a thread. Always observe tight fit of the
sensor prods, since there may be wrong measurements otherwise.
The example image shows the different prods installed to the sensor.

d) Setting up the Meter

The meter can be set up with the rear folding bracket for better setup.

e) Automatic Deactivation Function "APO"

To avoid unnecessary shortening of the service life of the battery, an automatic deactivation is integrated. With
the "APO" function activated, the meter is switched off automatically when no button has been pushed for approx.
10 minutes. The meter can be switched on again via the "POWER" button (2).
With the USB interface (USB) activated, the automatic deactivation function is deactivated.
If no measured value is recorded in the data logger operation anymore (machine is off), the meter switches
off automatically after 10 minutes with the "APO" active. Data recording is ended.
f) Switching On and Off
Keep the button "POWER" (2) pushed for approx. 2 s for activation. After a brief initiation phase (display and system
test), the meter is ready for use.
Keep the button "POWER" (2) pushed for approx. 2 s for deactivation. After releasing the button "POWER", the display
"OFF" appears and the meter switches off.
