2.3 Inserting The Batteries
Before first use of the instrument, the batteries four need to be inserted. If the
display switches off while the instrument is running and the measuring wheel is
rotating, the batteries 4 need to be replaced.
To insert the batteries:
1. Remove the end cover (5).
2. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment inside the handle.
Please ensure proper polarity.
3. Screw the end cover back into the handle.
NOTE: If the instrument will not be used for an extended period of time, the
batteries should be removed.

4.3 Taking Measurements with Auto Start / Stop Signal
1. Insert the material to be measured in the groove of the filament guide ring 7
on the rear side of the instrument. The filament guide ring can be turned
by 360°.
2. Adjust the electronic yarn consumption meter in such a way that the angle of
material contact with the measuring wheel is 120° minimum (see fig. 3.4d)
to eliminate material slip.
3. Press the ON / RESET switch (see diagram on page 4).
4. As soon as the yarn consumption meter receives the first switching pulse
from the magnetic switch, it starts counting the selected number of
revolutions. Counting starts from 0.
The yarn consumption is also evaluated and shown on the display after the
first switching pulse of the magnetic switch.
5. When the number of revolutions set with the preselect switches and
has been reached, the instrument stops measuring.
The display shows the measured yarn consumption.
If a new yarn consumption measurement is necessary, repeat the measuring
process from step 3 to ensure that the instrument has been reset.
NOTE: The electronic yarn consumption meter powers off automatically when
the measuring wheel on the rear of the instrument has not been moving for about
two minutes. The measured values are deleted.
