Visual and Audible Indicators
The information display areas for the transmitter are easy to understand. In addition, the
transmitter has an audible indicator to provide feedback and warnings to the user in
certain situations.
All visual indicators for the transmitter are on the LCD display, which has four general
areas to display information to the user: a battery indicator, a large 3-digit numeric display,
a frequency display, a power level indicator, mode indicators, and several unit indicators.
BATTERY INDICATOR - The "Battery" symbol indicates the transmitter's
battery status. When all 3 segments inside the battery symbol are present, the
battery is fully charged. When only the 2 bottom segments are present, the
battery has a medium charge. When only the bottom segment is present,
the battery has a low charge and should be recharged as soon as possible.
If there are no segments present, the battery is extremely low and it should
be recharged immediately. If the battery reaches a voltage dangerously close
to the level where continuous operation can damage it, the empty battery box
will begin to flash and transmitter shutdown is imminent. In addition, the
battery indicator is used to show that the charger is plugged in correctly;
the battery box will be on with all 3 segments rolling. See section Battery
Charger below for additional information on the battery charging visual
indicators.
3-DIGIT NUMERIC DISPLAY - This area is used to display
operating mode information as follows:
Ind Transmitter operating in the Inductive mode
CLA Transmitter operating in the Inductive Clamp mode
xxx mA Transmitter operating in the Conductive mode; the display
shows the output current in milliamps
XXX A 3-digit number displayed momentarily on power up
indicating the current software version (i.e. 121 = Version
1.21).
See section Line Voltage and Impedance Measurement for additional uses of
this display area when measuring line voltage and impedance.
FREQUENCY DISPLAY The upper left of the LCD consists of 4 icons: "512 Hz”, “33 kHz",
"82 kHz", and "Passive Arrow". The lower center of the LCD contains the “SONDE” icon.
POWER LEVEL INDICATOR This area is a bar graph display used to display the
output power level setting in conductive mode. The output power levels are displayed
as follows:
1 bar 0.5 W
2 bars 1 W
3 bars 2 W
4 bars 5 W
