12INM MTL 130-0126 Rev 134 OPERATION4.1 Switching on4.1.1 K6050This instrument is switched on by turning the front panel rotary switch to “On”. Turning theswitch to “Pump” additionally activates the internal sample pump.The instrument is normally powered by its internal rechargeable batteries and these arefully charged when dispatched from the factory. A mains (A.C.) powered switch-modepower supply is supplied along with an adapter for a 12v vehicle outlet socket. When thepower supply is attached and powered up, the internal batteries are charged automatically,irrespective of whether the instrument is on or off.4.1.2 K1650These instruments power up immediately power is applied to the supply terminals.Figure 9 - K1650 Front Panel4.2 InitializationOn power-up the screen will display details of the instrument’s name and software number.This display will remain for a few moments, then the instrument will automatically enterMeasurement Mode and set itself to Range 3 (hydrogen in air). The concentration of gas inthe measurement chamber is displayed. If the sample is something other than air, hydrogenor a mixture of the two, then the value shown will not be accurate or a fault code messagewill be displayed – see Section 4.6.In the measurement mode the display and the analogue outputs are continually updated withthe latest measured values.NOTEDuring initialisation the K1650’s 4 to 20mA output goes to 2mA to indicate an invalidmeasurement. If the instrument is outside of its operating range (fault code displayed)then the 4 to 20mA output goes to 3.7mA to indicate this. The K6050, which has 0 to 1Vanalogue outputs, gives 0v during initialisation and 0V or 1V for fault conditions.View EditCal MeasCalGas2LA2LA1LA AL198.5 H 2%In AirK1650 MTL Alternator Purge Monitor
