Significance of Individual Parameters
Test Instrument On-Time
The period of time after which the test instrument is automatically
shut off can be selected here. This selection has a considerable
influence on the service life and the charging status of the batter-
ies.
LCD Illumination On-Time
The period of time after which LCD illumination is automatically
shut off can be selected here. This selection has a considerable
influence on the service life and the charging status of the batter-
ies.
Submenu: Rotary Switch Balancing
Proceed as follows in order to precision adjust the rotary switch:
1 Press the TESTS Rotary Switch / Battery Test softkey in order
to access the rotary switch balancing menu.
2 Then press the softkey with the rotary switch icon.
3 Make sure that the rotary switch is set to
SETUP
.
The level mark to the left of the number should be aligned to the
black function field with the respective rotary switch designation. The
value of the number can be displayed within a range of -1 to 101 and
should be between 45 and 55. In the case of -1 or 101, the rotary
switch position does not match the measuring function shown at the
display.
If the displayed value is not within this range, readjust the position by
pressing the
readjust
softkey . A brief acoustic signal acknowl-
edges readjustment.
Note
If labeling in the LCD image of the rotary switch does not
correspond with its actual position, a continuous acous-
tic signal is generated as a warning when the readjust
softkey is pressed.
4 Acknowledge by pressing the softkey with the rotary switch icon.
The display is then switched to the next measuring function.
5 Turn the rotary switch clockwise to the next measuring function (after
SETUP
comes
I
N
).
6 Repeat steps 3 through 5 until all rotary switch functions have
been tested, and if necessary readjusted.
7 Press ESC, in order to return to the main menu.
Submenu: Battery Level Query
If battery voltage has dropped to 8.0 V or less, the UL/RL LED lights
up red and an acoustic signal is generated as well.
Note
Measuring Procedure
If battery voltage drops to below 8.0 V
during the course of a measuring
sequence, this is only indicated by means
of a pop-up window. Measured values
are invalid. The measurement results cannot be saved to
memory.
➭ Press ESC in order to return to the main menu.
User Interface Language (CULTURE)
➭ Select the desired country setup with the appropriate country
code.
Attention!
!
All structures, data and se-
quences are deleted when the
language is changed!
Back up your structures,
measurement data and se-
quences to a PC before
pressing the key.
The prompt window shown at
the right asks you to confirm
deletion.
Profiles for Distributor Structures (PROFILES)
The profiles are laid out in
a tree structure. The tree
structure for the utilized
PC evaluation program
may differ from that of the
PROFITEST MASTER. For
this reason, the PROFIT-
EST MASTER provides
the user with the opportu-
nity of adapting this struc-
ture.
Selecting a suitable profile
determines which object
combinations are made
possible. For example,
this makes it possible to
create a distributor which is subordinate to another or to save a
measurement to a given building.
➭
Select the PC evaluation program you intend to use.
Attention!
!
All structures, data and se-
quences are deleted when the
profile is changed!
Back up your structures,
measurement data and se-
quences to a PC before
pressing the key.
The prompt window shown at
the right asks you to confirm
deletion.
If you haven’t selected a suitable PC evaluation
program and, for example, if measured value
storage to the selected location within the struc-
ture is not possible, the pop-up window shown
at the right appears.
Default Settings (GOME SETTING)
The test instrument is returned to its original default settings when
this key is activated.
Attention!
!
All structures, data and sequences are deleted!
Back up your structures, measurement data and sequences to
a PC before resetting.
