1.0 Introduction The ETS-Lindgren HI-4000 Hazard Measurement System introduces fiber optic technology for the acquisition of data from electric and magnetic fields. The use of fiber optic cables for data transfer minimizes perturbation during field measurements. The heart of this system is the HI-4416 System Readout.

4.0 Pre-Installation Tasks Before connecting any components, follow the safety information in the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment. Bench Test Perform the following procedures to verify system operation. READOUT AND PROBE BENCH TEST 1. Remove the plastic caps from the readout's fiber optic connectors. Remove the protective covers from the fiber optic cable assembly. Save all protective caps and covers for future use. 2.
5. 16 Press the ON/OFF keypad on the front panel of the HI-4416. All segments of the LCD will activate for two seconds, then the version of software installed in the HI-4416 will be displayed followed by the current range of the probe connected to the readout. The HI-4416 will then begin normal operation. Units of measure, current reading (if any), bar graph, etc., will be displayed.
5.0 Operation Before connecting any components, follow the safety information in the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment. The HI-4416 does not shut down automatically. Be sure to turn the instrument off when not in use. Display Connect a probe to the HI-4416. Make sure the switch on the probe is in the “ARM” position and then turn the system readout on. The HI-4416 uses a custom LCD to display the probe settings and field values that are measured. 1.
Once the system readout is turned on, all segments of the LCD will activate for two seconds, the version of software installed will appear, followed by the current range of the probe connected to the readout. The HI-4416 then switches to normal operation (measurement). The LCD readout displays the observed value and the units of measure. The bar graph along the top of the LCD window presents an analog approximation of the measured field.
Keypad Operation The operation of the HI-4416 System Readout is controlled by membrane switches. To activate a switch, press gently on the center of the pad with your fingertip. Do not use hard or pointed objects. On/Off—The On/Off keypad activates the readout. At power-up, a self-test procedure is automatically performed.
Mode Select—Selects one of the four modes of the keypad matrix. For maximum operating flexibility, the HI-4416 utilizes a matrix for the upper three keypads on the membrane switch panel. The function that each key controls depends on the location of the cursor block (the dark rectangle located at the bottom edge of the LCD). When the HI-4416 is turned on, the cursor automatically positions itself above the left most of the four function columns on the control panel.
The maximum value is cleared when the HI-4416 is powered up, when the Max key is released and when the unit of measure is changed. The Clear button does not affect this reading. If the maximum reading is over full scale for the range, 'OL' will appear on the display along with the over range indicator. Zero—Sends a zero command to the probe. Selecting this command zeroes all ranges and axes.
Clear Data—Clears all readings out of data log memory. To perform this operation, press and hold the Clear Data keypad. The characters "clr" will flash on the display for approximately two seconds. Continue pressing the keypad until "000" appears on the display (these characters will not flash), data log memory is now cleared. When you release the keypad, the system readout returns to the measurement mode.
Next—Accesses the next value stored in data log memory. The operation of this key is similar to that of the Prev key except that successive operations of the Next key increment the displayed value toward the end of data log memory. In addition, if the key is operated while viewing the highest stored value, the readout "wraps around" to identification number 001. If an under range value is logged and displayed, the measured value along with the under range indicator arrow will appear.
CHARGING PROCEDURE 1. Plug the charger into a suitable AC source. 2. Make sure power to the readout is OFF. Insert the plug from the charger cable into the readout's CHARGER jack. 3. The battery pack is now charging. This may take approximately 1 hour, depending on how deeply the batteries are discharged. When charging is complete, the charger automatically goes into a trickle charge and will continue to do so until the probe is disconnected.
Appendix A: Warranty See the Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment for the complete ETS-Lindgren warranty for your HI-4416 System Readout. DURATION OF WARRANTIES FOR HI-4416 SYSTEM READOUT All product warranties, except the warranty of title, and all remedies for warranty failures are limited to one year. Product Warranted Duration of Warranty Period HI-4416 System Readout 1 Year www.ets-lindgren.

Appendix B: Communication Error Codes When the HI-4416 detects an error condition during communication with a probe, it will display an error message of the form EXX, where XX is a two-digit number. The meaning of each error number is described below. Under certain circumstances, it is possible for the user to correct the conditions causing errors 01 and 02: if not, or if the conditions that generate errors 03 - 12 develop and persist, the probe must be repaired by ETS-Lindgren technicians.

Appendix C: HI-4416 Operating Protocols Communication between the probe and the HI-4416 System Read Out is carried out via an ASCII data string. The probe requires a dual fiber optic cable and only responds when commanded. The HI-4416 continuously (at 7.6 Hz) sends the probe a command for data and waits for a response. If a key that requires information from the probe is pressed, the HI-4416 will send the appropriate command to the probe and wait for a response.
VALID UNIT TYPES The following table lists the unit codes that can be sent in the data string and the unit indicator displayed on the HI-4416. If an invalid unit code is sent to the HI-4416, no unit indicator is displayed and no error is generated. An underscore indicates a space character, and is significant.
Appendix D: 491198-36 Battery Fast Charger The HI-4416 System Readout contains a Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) battery and use the Series 4991198-36 Battery Fast Charger. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before operating the Series 491198-36 NiCd Battery Fast Charger, see General Safety Considerations in the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin included with shipment.

POWER CABLE This charger is shipped with a three-wire power cable. When this cable is connected to an appropriate AC power source, it connects the chassis to earth ground. The type of power cable shipped with each battery charger depends on the country of destination.
M AINTENANCE User serviceable parts do not exist inside the battery charger. Warranty may be void if the battery charger housing is opened. If the battery charger fails to operate, check for a blown fuse inside the power entry module. If a fuse is blown it must be replaced with the same type and value or an unsafe condition may result. If the battery charger still fails to operate, or if you have any questions concerning charging your products, contact ETSLindgren Customer Service.
If a fuse has blown, it must be replaced with the same type and value or an unsafe condition may result. After the fuse has been replaced, slide the fuse drawer back into the module. Make sure that it snaps securely into its locked position. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Electronic instruments are delicate, operate the batter charger with care. The 491198-36 battery charger is intended to charge the 3.6 volt NiCd batteries, either in the lab or in the field.
