Press the ENTER button once, the ↑ arrow button once and the ENTER button once more. (These three inputs are
the password.) Now the screen will display Setup, Calibrate Tension and you will be able to scroll down the list to
select the description that you want to use for the new calibration. When this new description is highlighted, press
ENTER.
Step 2: Next you will be prompted ENTER WEIGHT 1. Using the
↑ or ↓ arrows select a minimum tension value (do
not use zero). Press ENTER. Select increasing weight values for WEIGHT 2 THRU 4 (No. 4 being the maximum
weight value). At each weight number select your weight value using the
↑ or ↓ arrows. ENTER each selection.
Next you will calibrate the instrument to the weight values you just selected. (To simulate tension loads for
calibration, take a sample length of your material and suspend it from above. Next hang weights from your material
in the weight values you previously selected in “enter weights 1 through 4”.) Your instrument will now prompt you
PLACE WEIGHT 0. With zero tension applied to the instrument press ENTER. Next you will be prompted PLACE
WEIGHT 1. Suspend the exact weight value from your material that you previously selected. Engage instrument to
the tensioned material and then press ENTER. Next suspend weight value 2 from your material, engage the
instrument to your tensioned material and press ENTER. Repeat procedure for steps 3 and 4. Once you have
entered the value for WEIGHT 4 you have finished the calibration and will be returned to the Main Display. Your
main display will now indicate the description of the calibration you’ve just entered. This indicates you have now
selected the calibration you just performed. To change calibration use the
↑ or ↓ arrows until you reach SELECT
MATERIAL. Follow procedures outlined in Section 3.5. To change the description or name of your new calibration,
see Section 4, No. 7.
