  • Page 19: Practical Application And Use

    ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment. System Theory HI-4433 series Broadband RF Probes utilize a microprocessor for intelligent operation and control. Their self-contained power supply employs a 3.6 VDC NiCd battery, which provides up to 20 hours of continuous operation.

  • Page 20: Probe Power Supply

    In addition to the inputs from the three axes, HI-4433 series probes utilize a fourth input called the Autozero channel. This is a redundant channel identical to the three axis channels except that, instead of being driven by a dipole, it is terminated (in the probe head) by a carbon resistor.

  • Page 21: Hi-4416 Hand Held Readout

    Optional Probe Interface/Readout The probe provides data to the readout via either a short form or long form output word. Commands to the probe use these same word forms. See Appendix B for details on the format for both out put words.

  • Page 22: Hi-4413P Fiber Optic Interface

    NTERFACE For limited, specialized applications, you may use any computer with an RS232 serial port to communicate directly with the HI-4433 series probes via ETS-Lindgren’s optional HI-4413P Fiber Optic/RS232 Interface. HI-4413USB For connection to a computer USB port, the HI-4413USB is available as an option.

  • Page 23: Operation

    Operation Before connecting any components, follow the safety information in the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment. A switch, two fiber optic connectors and a battery charger connector are mounted on the HI-4433 electronics housings. Xmit/Rcv The fiber optic cable assembly from the receiver is attached to the probe via two connectors.

  • Page 24: Arm/Off

    Always check the condition of the battery prior to making any measurements. A standard fast charger is supplied with the HI-4433. When charging is complete, the fast charger acts as a trickle charger.
  • Page 25 +20ºC to +30ºC (+68ºF to +86ºF).  The battery in the HI-4433 probe does not require periodic deep discharges to reverse the capacity depleting memory effect caused by repeated shallow discharges; however, undercharging can reduce battery capacity.

  • Page 26: Assembling The Probe

    Assembling the Probe Each HI-4433 series probe assembly consists of a spherical casing containing the senor mounted on one end of a shaft and an extrusion that houses the electronics. The sensor and electronics housing operate, and are calibrated, as a unit.
