EXIT:
This menu option returns the meter to MAIN MENU.
IR LINK:
This menu option initiates a wireless communication session during which the currently stored
readings will be downloaded to a PC. Before using this feature, the target PC must be loaded with
Delmhorst’s Universal Application Program and a Delmhorst base unit must be connected to an
available USB port.
REQUIREMENTS:
The wireless communication technology employed in the meter requires line-of-sight access
between the red side window of the meter and the receiving window of the base unit. Simply
place the meter and base unit on a flat surface, with the red side window of the meter facing the
receiving window of the base unit. Separation requirements between the meter and base unit are
anywhere from 0 to 12 inches.
OPERATION:
1. Begin by starting the Delmhorst Instrument Co. Universal Application Program (double
click the application icon or choose the program from the Start Menu).
2. Once the Navigator and base unit are lined up and the base unit is connected to a USB
port (a green LED should be lit), select the IR LINK option in the Main Menu. The meter will
display the message “Linking…” for a few seconds, followed by “Link OK” when successful
communication is established with the base unit. The base unit will also indicate
communication established by turning off the green LED and turning on a red LED.
3. Press the “MANAGE DATA” button in the Delmhorst Instrument Co. Universal
Application Program. The meter will display “Data” on the screen and the base unit will
alternately turn on a yellow and red LED while data transfer takes place (red indicates
communication between the meter and Base Unit, while yellow indicates communication
between the base unit and the PC). When finished, the meter will return to the Main Menu
and the base unit will, once again, turn on its green LED. For further details on managing the
meter data in the PC please refer to the HELP feature in the program.
NOTE: The above sequence of events in initiating communication between the PC and the
meter is not mandatory. The Application Program may be started first, or the IR Link may be
selected first. The MANAGE DATA button may also be pressed before communication is
started between the Base Unit and the meter. The meter, base unit and Application Program
