Preliminary Setup - Martel BetaGauge II User Manual

Preliminary Setup

Use the following procedure to set up the BetaGauge II
for trip detection:
1. Connect the alligator clip ends of the test leads
(supplied with the BetaGauge II) to the contacts
you want to monitor.
2. Do one of the following:
 If the contacts are wet (have voltage on one or
both sides), connect the dual banana jack to
the voltage input of the DC module.
 If the contacts are dry, connect the dual banana
jack to the milliamp input terminals of the DC
module (for monitoring resistance changes).
NOTE: The BetaGauge II detects wet or dry trips
depending on where the test leads are connected to
the DC module (V or mA jacks). It is not necessary
to set the DC module units for Volts or milliamps.
3. Connect a pressure source to both the installed
pressure module and the pressure trip instrument
under test.
4. Use the Zero key to zero the pressure module as
needed while the pressure circuit is vented to the
atmosphere.
To continue with the actual programming of a pressure
trip detection, see the paragraphs below.
