Drying the
Electrical Connectors
The instrument is fitted with electrical connectors that
make contact with an inserted sensor. If the contacts
become wet, open the jaws with the blue lever and insert
a Palintest contact drying stick. Wait a few seconds until
it absorbs the water, remove and insert the opposite end
of the stick to check the contacts are dry. The 'Contact
Drying Stick' may also be used to clean the contacts.
Set-Up Mode
The PAASense is designed for simplicity of use in the
field. The user selectable options are only accessed when
linked to the PC. Once selections have been made, these
are stored in memory, and applied to each reading. The
instrument settings cannot be changed accidentally, or
without supervisor intervention.
