Proper steps to use the equipment :

1. Firstly, place the instrument on a surface or on a stand using the special columns.
2. Then place the sensors in the measuring location. The sensors may be mounted on
a stand or placed according to use.
3. Besides that, connect the sensors to the instrument, making sure that dedicated
inputs are used for the correct type of sensors. The sensor connector is marked
with an arrow and the connector must be fitted by turning the arrow toward the
front of the instrument (If possible, use 220 V AC mains power supply).
4. After that, press the On/Off switch on the panel underneath the keyboard, and
wait until the introductory screen comes up after the instrument has been
initialised. Then press ENTER to go to the main menu.

By selecting the various menu functions, it will display and initialisation

parameters before beginning a survey. These parameters include:
Survey: to set up and start a survey.
Turning off: useful for memorising all data and measurements which
have been obtained before the instrument is turned off with the On/Off
switch.
Archive management: controls availability, display and/or deletion of
contents of the archive.
Serial lines: checking and/or modification of communications
parameters using serial transmission.
Change Memocard: addition or removal of a memocard .
Utilities: contains a scrolling menu of utility functions which are
available and/or modifiable even during a survey.
System: contains a scrolling menu of functions which can be
programmed before a survey.
5. When it starts a survey, the instrument begins performing a continuous measurement
cycle. Then turns on the power supply to probes with a separate power supply in
advance, acquires the quantities configured with a sampling interval, checks whether
these quantities fall within the acceptable limits that have been set, and linearises
and engineers them, depending on which physical quantities are acquired.
6. During a survey, use the UTILITIES menu function to display and modify the
date/time, beeper, keyboard and display off parameters.
7. Finally, stop taking measurements by selecting END OF SURVEY and confirm
the selection. Before turning off the instrument (On/Off switch), carry out the
turning off procedure by selecting the appropriate item in the menu and if this is not
done, all the reports generated during the measurement session will be lost.
