Transmitter Keypad and Connector Definitions
T-1 T-2 T-3 T-4 T-5 T-6 T-7
OFF: [T-1] Turns unit off and performs battery test.
OHM / FAULT / TONE: [T-2] Turns the unit on and cycles through the following
commands when pressed repeatedly.
OHM METER: Measures the continuity of the trace conductor/pipe and its far-end
ground. It is also used to measure the fault resistance to earth.
FAULT LOCATE: (2273ME units only) In this mode, the transmitter sends two
alternating frequencies (577 Hz and 33 KHz) as well as fault signals 10 and 20 Hz.
TONE: In the tone mode, the transmitter generates 577 Hz and 133 KHz signals.
TRACE: [T-3] Turns the unit on and places the unit in Trace mode.
SELECT FREQUENCY: Press TRACE [T-3] repeatedly to cycle the frequency
of the transmitter (577 Hz, 8 KHz, 33 KHz, and 133 KHz). The selected frequency
will be displayed [T-4]. ‘ALL' indicates that multiple frequencies are transmitting
simultaneously.
DISPLAY: [T-4]
INDICATOR FLAGS: These flags coincide with the operational mode of the
transmitter. (From top left to bottom right) Fault mode [T-2] (2273ME units only),
Tone [T-2], Trace mode [T-3], Ohm meter [T-2], Voltage (at start up the transmitter
checks for foreign voltage), and the Output Flag (no flag = low output; flag = high
output; flashing flag = maximum output).
DIGITAL DISPLAY: Indicates frequency, relative current, resistance, battery level
and voltage.
OUTPUT: [T-5] Cycles output level; normal, high and maximum.
Normal=No Flag; High=Flag; Maximum=Flashing Flag
OUTPUT JACK: [T-6] Port for direct connect cables or Dyna-coupler.
EXTERNAL JACK: [T-7] Port to connect cigarette lighter adapter cable, or
rechargeable battery (2200RB). Input voltage level: 9-18 VDC.
