Quick Start Guide
NOTE: This manual should be used in conunction with the instructional videos
provided by ICT International to compliment each section of operation. These
videos are located on the ICT ouTube site httpwww.youtube.comuserictintl
WARNING The measurement needles of the SFM1 are made of hollow
1.3 mm stainless steel tubing. They can easily be damaged if basic care is not
taken in handling the instrument.

3 Power equirements and Charging the SFM1 Internal Battery
The SFM1 is a self contained instrument that incorporates a lithium polymer
battery. Before using the instrument, this battery MST be charged.
To choose from a range of charging options see
Connecting a Power Supply to the Instrument pages to 1.
The SFM1 can be charged from a range of external voltages via the Bus Plugs,
however there are limits. For the SFM1 to correctly charge, the external o
supply must be within a voltage range of to 30 Volts DC at all times. If the
voltage falls below 8 Volts DC the logger will automatically stop using the
supply to charge the internal battery. 30 Volts DC is a predetermined
maximum voltage that the SFM1 can handle upply voltages that exceed this
level are not recommended and may cause accidental triggering of the
protection circuitry. Triggering this circuit may result semi-permanent
disabling of the external power which will require the SFM1 to be sent back to
ICT for repair.
The unique power-bus plug design was developed by ICT International to
simplify the electrical wiring process. It minimises the need for custom tools in
thefield requiringonlythattheoutercablesheathbestrippedbacktoexpose

into the instrument design. etaining straps ensure tt the power-bus plugs do
not separate from the instrument when removed from the power-bus during
wiring preparation and connection of external power.
