Using Auto Set

Note: If the Approximate length has been entered into the MINI-MAX, the

Auto Set feature can be run simply by pressing the AUTO SET key on the

bottom left side of the keypad.

1) Press the MENU key once to activate the menu items tab. Press the

MENU key multiple times to tab right, and the ESC key multiple times to

tab left, until the UTIL menu is highlighted and displaying the submenu

items.

2)

Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the sub menu items

until AUTO SET is highlighted.

3)

Apply a drop of couplant to the bolt or transducer, and attach it to one

end of the bolt. Rotate the transducer clockwise and counter clockwise

applying a small amount of pressure to eliminate any excess couplant

between the transducer and bolt surface. Be sure to always place the

transducer in the same location. This will help to eliminate any potential

measurement errors caused by changing the sound path.

4)

Press the ENTER key to automatically adjust the display settings and

bring the waveform into view.

5)

Once the signal is displayed, press the MEAS key to return to

measurement mode.
