operation using the 

Enter

 key. The captured vale is then shown in the upper left corner of the 

display  together  with  its  sequential  number.  If  multiple  values  are  stored,  the  list  can  be 
browsed using the arrow keys. A new measured value is always appended to the end of the list. 
The  shown  value  can  be  removed  using  the 

Delete

  key.  If  this  key  is  held  down,  multiple 

values  are  deleted  until  the  key  is  released  again.  After  ten  deleted  values  the  deletion  is 
processed faster.

Switching between Battery Power and USB Power 

 

Important! 

The FH 52 should always be switched off before an USB power supply (AC 
adapter) is connected or removed. 

If a USB power supply  (AC adapter)  is  connected while the  FH 52 is  operated from  batteries 
the  FH 52  might  enter  standby  mode  and  not  recover  from  this  mode  again.  If  this  should 
happen, you must remove the USB power supply again. If the FH 52 does not resume operation 
in battery mode immediately, wait approximately 30 seconds and try to switch it on in battery 
mode again. Then switch it off and connect the USB power supply. 

If  a  USB  power  supply  is  removed  while  the  FH  52  is  on,  the  FH 52  will  normally  continue 
operation  on  batteries.  On  weak  batteries  it  might  happen  that  the  FH 52  restarts  or 
extinguishes.

Standby Mode 

If  the  FH 52  is  connected  to  a  PC  and  the  PC  enters  the  standby  or  energy  saving  mode,  the 
FH 52 will also go into standby mode. In this case the display shows “

Entering Standby

” for a 

short time. Modified settings and saved measuring data are copied from the volatile to the non-
volatile  memory.  Then  the  display  backlight  is  switched  off  and  the  device  is  set  to  standby. 
The display remains empty. The device is not fully switched off. It only stays in a state of low 
energy consumption. 

When the PC is wakened up from standby, the FH 52 will also continue operation. The display 
shows  shortly  “

Resuming  from  standby

”  and  thereafter  the  device  returns  into  measurement 

operation. 

During standby the FH 52 cannot be switched on or off from the keypad. However, it switches 
to active battery operation if the USB cable is removed. 

3.6

 

Battery State Indicator 

The battery state indicator in the upper right corner of the display is only visible if the FH 52 is 
powered from the battery. It is deactivated if the FH 52 is powered from the USB socket. 

You  can  estimate  the  remaining  battery  capacity  from  the  battery  state  indicator.  The  display 
changes  from 

  for  a  full  battery  to 

  if  the  battery  is  too  weak  to  ensure  full  measuring 

accuracy.
