4. Secure the TI box so that it will not move during data collection.
Note If the TI box is not properly secured, it can bump against another piece of
equipment or a hard surface, pushing in the Zero button. If the Zero
button is pushed, you will lose all of the data.
5. Verify that the shunt contacts are covered.
Make sure that the plugs on the slip ring bracket (spider) cover are in place
so that no water will enter the contacts.
Make sure that the bayonette covers on the shunt connectors are securely
locked in place. Each cover should be twisted until it snaps into the retaining
groove.
6. Turn on the TI and let it warm up for 15-20 minutes before you zero the
strain gage bridges.
