Charging the Battery:
Please charge the battery fully prior to using the VADER!
With the unit turned off,open the case and locate the charge port and charge
lamp on the upper left hand side.
Connect the charging cable to the included AC adapter and plug the adapter into a
standard 120VAC 60Hz outlet. The other end of the cable plugs into the charge port on
the VADER. DO NOTattempt to close the cover with the charger connected.
Charging Status:
The red charge lamp on the VADER should illuminate indicating the unitis
charging.
As the unit charges the lamp will dim, when the red charge lamp on the VADER
turns off, the unit isfully charged and ready for use.
When the VADER ispowered on and connected to a compatible Android™
device, the voltmeter application on the tablet indicates the battery status by the green
rectangle in the top right corner of the screen. When nearly discharged, the battery level
line will change from green to red.
When using the supplied charger and cable the VADER should fully recharge in
approximately 8 hours.

Now depressed, the blue LED should start blinking.
Turning the unit off:
If the power isalready ON,
Press the Push button to turn the Power OFF. The blue LED should stop blinking.
Connection Status Indicator (Blue Push Button Lamp):
Power ON indications:
Not Connected : Single Blink from the blue LED
The VADER is On and is ready to connect to a data logger.
Connected : Double Blink from the blue LED
The VADER has successfully connected to a data logger.
Power OFF indication:
Connecting an Android™ device to the VADER:
Install the desired applications (TSS, PLS, or VM Lite) on your Android™ device.
Our applications support Android™ 7 through 13.
The blue LED is Off
Normally it will be Off because the unit was turned Off
or the battery voltage level is extremely low.

Voltmeter Characteristics:
•High Voltage Isolation for Operator Safety : Tested to 1kV steady-state/15kV transient voltage levels
(designed for higher voltage level isolation) – operator isolated from power supply
•Non-Saturating : Voltmeter will not saturate on 5.7VDC and higher ranges with superimposed AC
signals up to 120VAC (for readings up to approximately 50% of full scale at 60Hz) and/or inductive spikes
up to 2kV appearing at the input terminals
•Extensive Ranges : Various DC Ranges (40mV full scale to 570V full scale) plus 4V, 40V, and 400V AC
Ranges. All DC Ranges have <80ms response times for accurate On/Off pair readings during fast current
interruption cycling (for example, 700ms ON / 300ms OFF).
Power Source:
•21700 Lithium Ion rechargeable battery
•Interior battery charging port
•Re-chargeable battery lasts approximately 8 hours with continuous usage
•Battery easily replaced in the field
Communication with Tablets/Phones via WPAN technology:
•Android™ compatible
•Connection status indicator, LED, on case exterior
Connectors:
• 5-pin connector for optional push-button data-probe triggering of readings
•Two shrouded banana jacks (one red/one black) – 1,000V; CAT III (IEC 61010 rating)
Integrated Sub-meter GPS System:
•Internal GPS antenna
Environmental:
•IP65 Rated
Temperature Ranges:
•Operating Range: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C) • Battery Charging Range: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C)
• 5-7/8" long x 3.5” wide x 1.75” high
Case Dimensions (approximate):
Weight: •0.85lb
