REED R9700 Calibration

1. Open the cover plate and place 2-3 drops of distilled water onto the prism surface, close the cover plate, press lightly and ensure the water spreads evenly across the whole surface area without air bubbles or dry sections. (wait 30 seconds until the water adjusts to ambient temperature)

2. Hold towards light source and look into the eyepiece, if the boundary line between the upper blue field and the lower white field is not located exactly on the 0°C waterline, adjust the correcting screw until both lines meet.

3. Wipe the water from the prism with clean dry cloth and replace the rubber correcting screw cover.

NOTE: under normal operating conditions the calibration only needs to be checked periodically.

Warning

Measuring Range
Reed R8001’s measuring range is limited to 50m. To increase the measurement range during daylight or if the target has poor reflection properties you can use a target plate.

Reference Level Settings
Press the “Reference” button to take the selection from the top of the instrument. A special beep sounds whenever the reference setting is changed.

Distance Unit Settings
To change the unit of measurements just hold down the “Backlight/Unit” button for a few seconds and toggle between all units of measure. You can choose between m, ft, in, and ft + in.

Single Distance Measurements
Firstly, you have to activate the laser by pressing “the On/Measure” button. Now trigger the dsitance measurement by pressing the button again. The measured value will be displayed immediately.

Continuous (Tracking)/Max & Min Measurement
For example, the user can move from a wall to the required distance, while the actual distance can be read continuously. To activate this function press the Max/Min button until the indicator for continuous measurements appears on the display. Press it again or press the On/Measure button to stop the function. The function is terminated after 100 continuous measurements.

Addition/Subtraction
Press the “Plus button” to add the current measurement to the previous measurement. Press the “On/Measure” button to add the second measured value; the result will automatically display. Press the “Minus” button to subtract the current measurement from the previous measurement. Press the “On/Measure” button for the result to be shown in the summary line and the previous measurement will be shown in the second line. Press the “Clear” button for the last step to be cancelled. Press the “Max/Mi”n button to return to single distance measurement mode.

Area Measurement
With this Laser Distance Meter you can automatically calculate the area/surface and the results will be displayed in the summary line on the display. Press the “Area/Volume” button once to enter Area Measurement mode. Start making the first measurement ( for length) by pressing the “On/Measure” button. Press the On/Measure button again to take the second measurement (width). Now the instrument will calculate the area automatically and display the summary lint on the display.

Volume Measurement
Press the Area/Volume button twice to enter Area Measurement mode. Press the On/Measure button to take the first measurement (length), press the On/Measure button again to take the second measurement (width), press the On/Measure button again to take the third measurement (height). Then the volume is automatically calculated and displayed in the summary line on the display.

Indirect Measurement
This is used to determine a distance using two auxiliary measurements. Press the Indirect Measurement button once, the icon will appear on the display. Aim at the highest point and press the On/Measure button to take the measurement. Holding the instrument as horizontal as possible press and hold the On/Measure button to trigger continuous measurement, the horizontal line is measured and shown in the summary and secondary lines.

Three Point Measurement
Press the Indirect Measurement button twice, the icon will appear on the display. Aim at the highest point (1) and press the On/Measure button to trigger the measurement. Holding the instrument as horizontal as possible press and hold the On/Measure button to trigger continuous measurement and sweep the laser up and down over the ideal target point (2), press the On/Measure button again to confirm the value. Aim at the lower point (3) and press the On/Measure button to trigger the measurement. The results are shown in the summary and secondary lines at the same time.

How to use Handheld Gas Detector (C-383)

Sensitivity Adjustment
You will be able to set two levels of sensitivity. By default Reed C-383 is set to high sensitivity when the instrument is switched ON. Start changing the sensitivity by pressing the “Lo Sensitivity” button. The two left green LED’s will then flash indicating low sensitivity has been selected. To switch the unit back to high sensitivity, press the “Hi Sensitivity” button. The two right red LED’s will then flash indicating that high sensitivity has been selected.

Ambient Concentration Reset
This Handheld Gas Detector (C-383) comes with an ambient concentration reset function. This feature able you to set the Reed C-383’s sensors to the ambient gas concentrations presented. Start doing this by turning ON the unit’s sensor that will set the level of present combustible gas to zero. Move your instrument to a location that has clean and fresh air, such as outdoors and press the ON/OFF button.

Measuring
Position the tip of the sensor probe within 1/4 inch (6 mm) of the suspected leak source. Slowly move the sensor probe past each possible leakage point. When the Gas Detector detects a leak source an audible tone will sound and visual indicators will light on the LED leak indicator display, appearing from left to right: green to orange to red (red being the highest concentration, green the lowest). Increasing levels indicates the proximity of the leak location is getting closer. When the unit signals a leakage, pull the probe away from the leak for a moment and then bring it back slowly to pinpoint the location. If the combustible leak is large setting the sensitivity switch to LOW (see sensitivity adjustment) will make it easier to find the exact site of the leak. Return the sensitivity switch to HIGH before searching for any additional leaks. When you’ve finished testing for leaks turn the unit OFF and store it in a cool, dry, clean place to protect the sensor and unit from any possible damage.

Determining the Rotary Field Direction
Make sure the L1,L2, and L3 test leads are connected to the corresponding input jacks. Connect the test probes to the other end of the test leads. Connect the test probes to the three main phases. Press the ON/OFF button. The green ON indicator shows that the instrument is ready for testing. Either the Clockwise or Counter Clockwise Rotary indicator will illuminate showing the type of rotary field direction present. The rotary indicator will light up even if the neutral conductor, N, is connected instead of the test lead input jack. See Phase Indication Table for more information (User manual).

Determining the Motor Connection
Connect one end of the test leads to the unit and the alligator clamps to the other end of the test leads. Connect the alligator clamps to the motor connections.Press the ON/OFF button. The green ON indicator shows that the instrument is ready for testing. Turn the motor shaft half a revolution towards the right. The bottom of this unit should be oriented towards the drive shaft. Either the Clockwise or Counter Clockwise Rotary indicator will illuminate showing the type of rotary field direction present.

Non-contact Rotary Field Indication
Put the Motor Rotation Tester on the motor so that it is parallel to the length of the motor shaft. The unit should be one inch or closer to the motor, and the bottom of the unit should be oriented towards the drive shaft. Press the ON/OFF button. The green ON indicator shows that the instrument is ready for testing. Either the Clockwise or Counter Clockwise Rotary indicator will illuminate showing the type of rotary field direction present.

Magnetic Field Detection
To detect a magnetic field, place this unit to a solenoid valve. A magnetic field is present if either the Clockwise or the Counter Clockwise Rotary indicator illuminates.
