1 General
The gauges of byko-test 8500 family, together with the corresponding probes, constitute a
modular system. The handheld gauges and the probes can be arbitrarily combined. The
probes can be used integrated in the gauge as well as attached to it via adapter cable. This
enables the user to choose the optimum measuring configuration for his application.
The gauge options can not only be set using the simple menu. With the QuaNix
® -Software
all options can be comfortably preset on the PC and finally downloaded into the gauge.
A wireless interface is used for the data exchange between gauge and PC.
2 Change of Probes
The probes or the housing of the adapter cable lock in when inserted in the gauge. To
remove them from the gauge press the button on the rear side of the gauge and pull the
probe or the adapter out.
After inserting a probe the gauge displays information about type of probe, serial number
and number of software version.
These data can be called anytime by pressing key ! when the gauge is in the normal
display mode.
3 Power Supply and Change of Batteries
The byko-test 8500 gauge is powered by 2 batteries AA (1.5 V) alkaline, or 2 rechargeable
batteries AA (1.2 V). Please note that the capacity of the rechargeable batteries is
significantly lower.
Step 1: A change of batteries is advisable. However quite a number of
measurements can still be taken. The EL-backlight is still active.
Step 2: (small symbol) Measurements can still be taken. The EL-backlight is
deactivated.
Step 3: (large symbol in center of display) No more measurements can be
taken.
During change of batteries menu settings and all readings in the memory remain stored.
Note: Only setting of date and time can get lost, when the change of batteries takes longer
than about 2 minutes.
IMPORTANT: Please take batteries out of the gauge when storing it over a longer period!
Discharged batteries might leak and damage the gauge.
Note: Empty batteries should be disposed of properly. If possible, please use the special
services of your council.
4 Handling
The gauge switches on automatically when the probe is placed on the surface of the object
under test. It can also be switched on by one of the keys of the keypad. If the probe is not
used for longer than about 30 seconds the gauge switches off again.
Place the probe evenly on the object under test. On bent surfaces use the V-grooves
aligned parallel to the axis of curvature to insure that the probe is vertically placed to the
surface.
An error message will be displayed when the probe is placed incorrectly. For measurements
beyond the measuring range the gauge will display "Infi".
Do not take measurements on magnetized parts. Magnetic fields can influence the results.
Also electro-magnetic fields can influence the NFe-measurements.
