or AC), an UP ARROW will be shown on the LCD display and the buzzer will be turned
on to warn the user of the presence of voltage on the line. The transmitter will
continue to retest for the presence of these voltages until they fall below 5 V, in which
case it will resume normal signal transmission.
To determine the type (AC or DC) and value of the voltage present on the line, and
to measure the line impedance, the transmitter can be put into the Measurement
mode by simultaneously pressing the Frequency and Output Power controls while in
the conductive mode. In the Measurement mode, the transmitter alternatively
displays the DC voltage, AC voltage, and Line Impedance on the LCD; it will turn on
an UP ARROW if any voltage exceeds 50 V.
To exit the Measurement mode, press the Frequency or Output Power control. The
transmitter will go back to the conductive mode.
Controls
The Rex Transmitter controls are designed to be intuitive and require a minimum of
training for effective use. The transmitter controls are also large for ease of use when
wearing gloves.

1 ON/OFF - This is a momentary push-button switch that toggles the power to the
transmitter on and off. When the transmitter power is off, press this switch until
the LCD indicators come on and you hear a beep, and then release it. When
the transmitter power is on, press the switch until the LCD indicators go off, and
then release it.
2 FREQUENCY - An operating frequency can be selected by depressing this switch
consecutively until the desired frequency that matches the receiver’s
frequency is indicated on the display of the transmitter. Different frequencies
are available for the different operating modes (conductive, inductive clamp
or inductive); see Specifications below for specific frequencies in each mode.
3 OUTPUT POWER - This switch is used to manually select the output power in the
conductive mode only. It has no use in the inductive and inductive clamp
