General information and warnings
1.2.1 Safe handling of equipment with batteries
1.2.2 Wet conditions
Under wet conditions, the plug must be connected to the final branch circuit via an
appropriate socket / receptacle designed for washdown use.
Installations within the USA should use a cover that meets NEMA 3R specifications
as required by the National Electrical Code under section 410-57. This allows the unit
to be plugged in with a rain tight cover fitted over the plug.
Installations within Europe must use a socket which provides a minimum of IP56
protection to the plug / cable assembly. Care must be taken to make sure that the
degree of protection provided by the socket is suitable for the environment.
1.3 Routine maintenance
Always isolate the indicator from the power supply before starting any routine
maintenance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose
of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
ATTENTION: Il y a danger d'explosion s'il y a remplacement incorrect de la
batterie, remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même type ou d'un type
équivalent recommandé par le constructeur. Mettre au rebut les batteries
usagées conformément aux instructions du fabricant.
IMPORTANT: This equipment must be routinely checked for proper operation
and calibration.

Introduction
2.2 Powering up a T419S indicator
The indicator is always active as long as power is received. Power must be 90-264 VAC
with a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz, or 12-36 VDC.
2.3 Using the alphanumeric keypad
Use the alphanumeric keypad to enter numbers and words when prompted by the
indicator. The action is similar to using a cell phone to select the number or letter. A
rapid succession of presses will scroll through the number on the key and then the
letters, starting with upper case and then lower case. The decimal key scrolls through
the negative sign, pound sign, colon, comma and percent sign. The 0key toggles
between 0 and a space.
2.4 Entering negative numbers or decimal point
To enter a minus sign for a negative number or a decimal point (or comma), press the
Ckey (or PRINT key) to clear the current value from the display.
Then to enter a negative number, with a single 0displayed press the Decimal key. The
first character will then change to a (-) negative sign. Enter the rest of the digits
normally.
To enter a decimal point (or comma), on a T419S use the decimal point key. To enter a
value less than 1 requires the entry of the leading 0 before a decimal point is allowed.
2.5 Menu access and navigation
The menus used to configure the T419S are accessed with passwords. Press and hold
the SELECT key to access the password entry screen, shown below.
In general, a menu is made up of a group of top level items, sub levels under each of
those and lists of items to view or configure. There are variations on this theme.
Sometimes there may be no sub level or there maybe two sub levels before you get to
a list of items to set.
You will see on-screen lists with instructions on how to choose and set an item in each
menu list. On-screen prompts guide you as you move through the menus.
