OFF: [T-1] Turns unit off and performs battery test.

OHM / FAULT / TONE: [T-2] Turns the unit on and cycles through the following commands when pressed repeatedly.

OHM METER: Measures the continuity of the trace conductor/pipe and its far-end ground. It is also used to measure the fault resistance to earth.

FAULT LOCATE: (2273ME units only) In this mode, the transmitter sends two alternating frequencies (577 Hz and 33 KHz) as well as fault signals 10 and 20 Hz.

TONE: In the tone mode, the transmitter generates 577 Hz and 133 KHz signals.

TRACE: [T-3] Turns the unit on and places the unit in Trace mode.

SELECT FREQUENCY: Press TRACE [T-3] repeatedly to cycle the frequency of the transmitter (577 Hz, 8 KHz, 33 KHz, and 133 KHz). The selected frequency will be displayed [T-4]. ‘ALL' indicates that multiple frequencies are transmitting simultaneously.

DISPLAY: [T-4]

INDICATOR FLAGS: These flags coincide with the operational mode of the transmitter. (From top left to bottom right) Fault mode [T-2] (2273ME units only), Tone [T-2], Trace mode [T-3], Ohm meter [T-2], Voltage (at start up the transmitter checks for foreign voltage), and the Output Flag (no flag = low output; flag = high output; flashing flag = maximum output).

DIGITAL DISPLAY: Indicates frequency, relative current, resistance, battery level and voltage.

OUTPUT: [T-5] Cycles output level; normal, high and maximum.

Normal=No Flag; High=Flag; Maximum=Flashing Flag

OUTPUT JACK: [T-6] Port for direct connect cables or Dyna‑coupler.

EXTERNAL JACK: [T-7] Port to connect cigarette lighter adapter cable, or

rechargeable battery (2200RB). Input voltage level: 9-18 VDC.
