Page 8: Test Set-Up: Tdt1000
Battery Check Be sure the TDT1000 is charged or connected to a power supply before testing begins. 1. Power the TDT1000 ON by pushing the green Power button (Figure 2). The indicator light will glow green. 2. Check that at least one of the battery-status lights is illuminated green. - Page 9 Connecting All transducers must be connected to the TDT1000 through an adapter cable. If the transducer has a connector, you need a purchased adapter cable. It must match the brand of the instrument and the number of pins in the connector of the transducer. For transducers with NO connector use the supplied adapter cable with terminal box to connect to the TDT.
