Keyboard and LCD for HI 504910 are normally provided FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION by HI 504920. To do this, HI 504920 has to be put into terminal mode, by selecting code 90 in Setup mode. If the HI 504920 meter is not handy, the keyboard and LCD inside the transmitter case can be used for configur- ing, calibrating and monitoring HI 504910.
