Data Circuits
If the AM5xs is presented to a circuit that is carrying data, the AM5xs will identify
the presence of the data by illuminating the 'DATA' indicator and producing
a BEEP-BOP tone in the loudspeaker every two (2) seconds.
Headset Operation
A Headset 17A or 18A Safety Helmet Version may be inserted into the rear
socket of the AM5xs. Inserting either headset will switch on the AM5xs if not
already active, and will mute the internal loudspeaker.
Powering `OFF` the Probe
To switch `off` the AM5xs the [ON/OFF SENS+] button should be touched for
longer than two (2) seconds, at which point the amplifier will shut down and the
`ON LO BAT' indicator will be extinguished. Should the AM5xs t remain active
for longer than five (5) minutes with no button activity then it will automatically
shut down to conserve battery power.
Battery
Insertion
The product is energised upon insertion of a PP3 battery and will 'sleep' in low
power mode until the Probe is switched on. Access to the battery compartment
can be gained by removing the two screws on the back of the unit. Insert one
(PP3/6LR61/1604A
compartment is polarized to prevent wrong polarity. If the unit is not going to be
used for a long period of time remove the battery.
Replacement
Should the internal 9V battery be low and require replacing, the product will give
a steady illumination on the 'ON LO BAT' indicator and produce a BEEP-BEEP-
BEEP audible indication every ten (10) seconds.
Additional Information
The q Trace function is based on the DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency)
system used on all modern day telephone networks to communicate number
entry when making a call to the local exchange and therefore dial a telephone
number.
The conductive tip is the slimmer tip and fitted on the AM5 and the inductive
tip can be found separately in the product packaging.
