Operators Manual

2.2.1 Powering the System

The Model 35360A TRACKER Display may be operated from either line or battery power. The line receptacle at the rear panel of the Model 35360A TRACKER Display mates with a 3-wire line cord to provide a connection to line voltage (high, neutral and earth ground).

WARNING

When powering the 35360A TRACKER Display from an AC line, always use a 3-wire grounding type line cord such as the one supplied with the 90100 TRACKER System. In addition, only connect the 35360A TRACKER Display to an AC power outlet employing a third wire safety ground. Failure to ground the Model 35360A TRACKER Display may result in personal injury or death in the event of a short circuit or malfunction.

The 35360A TRACKER Display operates on battery power for eight hours after a full charge. The 35360A TRACKER Display can be recharged quickly, usually in two to three hours, even during instrument operation. A low battery annunciator is displayed when 30 minutes or less of operation remains. When the battery pack is fully discharged, the instrument automatically shuts off and will not operate until AC line power is connected.

The Model 35360A TRACKER Display operates from line voltage ranging from 100 to 240 VAC without operator switching. An IEC 320/C13 style receptacle provides worldwide operation by simply changing line cords.

2.2.2 Detector Input

The Model 35360A TRACKER Display connects to the Model 35300A Detector through an interface cable. The cable connects to an 8-pin D connector on the back of the 35360A TRACKER Display housing (see Figure 2-1).

Before you attach the 35300A Detector to the 35360A TRACKER Display, you must perform the following procedure (refer to Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3).

1.Turn the 35360A TRACKER Display OFF.

WARNING

Always turn the Model 35360A TRACKER Display's power off prior to connecting or disconnecting the interface cable. Failure to do so may result in an electrical shock.

2.Firmly press the 8-pin D connectors at either end of the interface cable into the 35360A TRACKER Display and the 35300A Detector, see Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3.

CAUTION

This interface cable has different mating pins for both the 35300A Detector and 35360A TRACKER
