• Thecenterbarsmovetoindicatetheunitisininitialwarmupstate.Itwilltakeupto30secondsfortheunittogetintonormal
 operationmode.
• If“SENSOR”messageisdisplayedonthescreen,thismeansthesensorwireisbrokenorsensorisdisconnected.
BATTERY INDICATOR
Whenthestartupsequenceiscomplete,thebatterystatusindicator(inthelowerleftcorner)isupdatedtoshowcurrentbatterystatus.Whilethe
unitison,thisstatusisupdatedonceeverysecond.Batterylevelindicationisasfollows:
 NotVisible   TheDV-40isconnectedtoanexternalpowersource.(ACAdapter)  
 Threebars   Batteryvoltageis3.5orabove.
 Twobars   Batteryvoltageisbetween3.0and3.5Volts.

thelowbatterycondition.Whenbatteryvoltagefallsbelow2.1volts,ashutdowntimerisactivated.Ifvoltagestaysbelow2.1voltsforthirty
seconds,theDV-40willbeeponceandshutitselfo.Ifpowerisrestoredduringthistime,shutdowniscancelled.
ALARM FUNCTION
LOW LIMIT ALARM
•MODE+DOWNkeyswillenabletheLowlimitalarm.
• LowAlarmcanbeenabledinallcasesincludingwhenthepressureisinOVERRANGEexceptforwhenthesensorisnotconnected.
