  • Page 12: Initial Commissioning

    Initial commissioning The device can be supplied with power via the accompanying mains adapter or batteries. If the mains adapter is connected and batteries are inserted, the device is supplied via the mains adapter and the batteries are not used. If the mains adapter is removed during operation, a seamless transition to battery operation takes place automatically.

  • Page 13: Switching On And Off

    Insert the mains adapter in the socket and connect it to the side of the device. The mains adapter can supply the BD 600 measurement system and the stirring device with power via the supplied Y-adap- ter.

  • Page 16: Display Current Values

    5.5.3 Display current values All six measurement positions are displayed with a symbol. The corresponding current value is displayed next to them. If no head is present, the symbol is completely grey and no current value is displayed (Figure 7, Measurement positions 1 to 4).
  • Page 17 If ‚Underr.‘ appears instead of the measurement value (ab- breviation for underrange, see Figure 9), the recorded mea- surement value is below the starting measurement value. With ‚Overr.‘ (abbreviation for overerrange, see Figure 9), the recorded measurement value is outside the measuring range.

  • Page 18: Export Measurement Series

    5.5.5 Export measurement series A schematic diagram of the rack can be shown to the left in the screen. Like in the other menus, the grey symbol (Figure 12, measurement position 6) also means that no head was recognised there by the device. In Figure 12 the heads at measurement positions 1 to 4 are selected.

  • Page 19: Options

    Options The settings for further submenus, such as ‚Date / time‘ or ‚Name heads‘ are saved in the respective submenu. If the menu is exited with function key F1 (cancel), the old settings take effect again. The new settings are permanently adopted with function key F2 (adopt).
