9.4 Power-On State
The set-up of the instrument each time that it is turned on (from off) is normally set to “Last
Used”. This results in no change occurring when the instrument is powered off and then back
on.
Alternatively, the user can choose to load the User Preset which overwrites the major settings
with ones chosen by the user (see section 4.11.1). This choice is made from:
STATUS >System Utils > Power/Clock > Pwr-On State - see section 4.10.3.2.
10 Firmware Updates | Upgrades | Maintenance
10.1 Updating the Firmware
From time to time Aim-TTi may make updated versions of the instrument firmware available in
order to add new features or to correct “bugs”. These will be downloadable from the Aim-TTi
website without charge. The current version is displayed within the Status display screens.
The method of updating requires the use of a USB Flash drive. Full information on how to
perform the update will be provided with the firmware file.
10.2 Upgrading the Firmware (Option U01)
Installing option U01 is done in a similar way to a firmware update, but an additional step of
entering an activation code will be needed (see section 6). Full details are provided with the
option.
10.3 Maintenance, Re-calibration & Cleaning
To ensure that the accuracy of the instrument remains within specification, the calibration
should be checked (and if necessary adjusted) annually. Aim-TTi or their agents overseas will
provide a calibration service for any PSA1302/2702 and will repair any PSA developing a fault.
Where owners wish to undertake their own recalibration, this should only be done by skilled
personnel in conjunction with the Service Guide which may be obtained directly from Aim-TTi or
their agents overseas. Recalibration requires the use of a precision signal generator as
specified in the Service Guide
Cleaning: If the unit requires cleaning, use a cloth that is only lightly dampened with water or a
mild detergent. Take particular care in cleaning the touch screen area.
10.4 Battery Replacement
The instrument is fitted with a rechargeable Lithium ion polymer battery which should only be
recharged using the charger supplied.
The battery requires no maintenance but capacity will reduce over time and it may eventually
require replacement. The battery is a custom design and replacements are only available from
Aim-TTi or from our authorised distributors or agents.
Refer to the Service Guide for detailed information on battery replacement and disposal.
