Getting started

4.1

Power supply

The meter is powered by an internal rechargeable LiPo battery. With a fully charged battery, an
operating time of approx. 8 ... 10 hours is possible, depending on the brightness of the display.
The battery is charged via the USB socket at the bottom of the meter, using a suitable USB
charger. The charging process can be shortened by switching off the device during the charging
process.
The current charge level of the battery is displayed in the status bar at the top right. As soon as
the charge level of the battery is no longer sufficient for proper operation of the instrument, it
switches off automatically and the screen shown below is displayed.
4.2

Preparation

The meter is switched on by pressing the ON/OFF key. When the device is switched on, the start
screen appears for approx. 1 second and then the device enters the measurement screen. To
switch off the meter, keep the ON/OFF key pressed. A dialogue with a countdown now appears
on the display to announce that the instrument is about to power off.
The flow sensors are connected by simply plugging them into the sockets provided at the top of
the device. They are disconnected by pulling the plugs, touching the ribbed surface to unlock the
plug connection. Screw the plugs into the sensors using the knurled nut.
The thermocouples are also connected by plugging them into the sockets provided. The plugs
have a wide and a narrow contact. These determine the orientation of the plug when it is plugged
in.
