3. USE
Your Fieldmeter consists of a case and a probe. to connect it, simply position it in the axis of the case,
turn the probe and push it in. Lock in position by pulling the black ring on the probe towards the case
(multi-contact push-pull socket).
Never try to turn the probe when it is tted to the case, you may cause damage to the sensor
and its connections.
To switch On the instrument, position the rotary switch to one of the On positions corresponding to the
type of measurement to make. The display makes a general self-test, then shows (top right) the remaining
service life as a % (150% maximum for a new battery), nally, the result of the measurement is displayed
with the appropriate symbol (measurement unit, function ...). Choose a special function if necessary by
pressing the corresponding button when switching On (See SPECIAL FUNCTIONS).
The measurement of the eld is done by moving the aerial in the environment to be measured. You obtain
a direct wide band measurement of the eld that the measurement sensor is subjected to. To nd the
value of the eld emitted by a source of interference, simply point the aerial towards it and get as close
as possible (the value of the eld is inversely proportional to the distance of the sensor/emission source).
To switch Off the instrument, set the switch to Off (the display goes blank). Auto Off may be triggered if
you have not turned the switch or pressed the buttons during 10 minutes of operation. In this case, if you
want to wake up your Fieldmeter, simply press any button or turn the switch (except to the OFF position).
The display comes On again and the instrument starts taking measurements again without taking into
account the button pressed to wake it up.
After your measurements, position the switch to OFF and preferably put your Fieldmeter away in its case.
To do this, remove the probe by undoing the locking ring (in the axis, push the ring of the case towards
the probe) then carefully separate the two parts and put them away.
