Battery Voltage Measurement - CDI CD42 Instruction Manual

CD42 Pipeline Pig Location & Tracking System
The up and down arrow buttons function in a logical manner to change the value of the selected
field. If the operator presses the up arrow on the minutes field, the minutes are incremented by one.
The down arrow would decrement the minutes field by one. The time, day and date are all set in
this manner.
When the time and date are set correctly, press the Back button. This will back the System up one
screen, and the time and date will be stored.
The System displays what it believes to be the current time and date at the bottom of the screen as
shown in Figure 49.
Figure 49 Previous Time
This information is displayed to the operator simply as a reference to the current time the CD42-R
has stored. This old time cannot be restored once any changes are made in the time or date fields. If
the operator presses the Back button without making any changes to the time or date, the old time
will remain the current time.

Battery Voltage Measurement

One of the nice features built into the CD42-R receiver is the ability to, at any time, check the
voltage of the 5 D-Cell batteries. This is accomplished by simply pressing the Batt Volts button as
shown below in Figure 50.

When the Batt Volts button is pressed, text will appear informing the operator as to the current
battery voltage of the system in DC Volts as shown in Figure 51.
