Powering the Simulator
The Simulator uses a 9 V alkaline battery (Duracell
®
MN1604 or equivalent). It is designed to use as much of
the battery as possible. When it detects less than about
5.6 volts, it goes into a shutdown mode, sounds a
continuous tone alarm, and displays the following
message:
The battery is in the base of the instrument. Use a 9-volt
alkaline battery (Duracell
®
MN1604 or equivalent). Do not
use mercury, air, or carbon-zinc batteries.
W Warning
The 9-volt alkaline battery provided with the
Simulator may explode or leak if recharged,
inserted improperly, disposed of in a fire, or
mixed with different battery types. Dispose of
the battery in accordance with any applicable
state or local regulations.
As an alternative to a battery, you can power the
Simulator with the Fluke Biomedical Battery Eliminator,
PN 2647372.
WXWarning
Caution risk of electric shock. Use only the
Battery Eliminator specified in this manual or
the protection provided may be impaired.
Note
Remove the battery and disconnect the Battery
Eliminator if you do not intend to use the
Simulator for an extended period of time.
Operating the Simulator
Connect the Simulator to the device under test. Use the
Simulator’s alphanumeric keypad to enter the code
presets. The Simulator then transmits these values to the
device. The following steps walk you through a sample
procedure.
1. Switch the Simulator ON. The LCD window displays
the program version for about two seconds.
