1.7 Calibration of the unit
1.7.1 General calibration
The D100S units are calibrated at the factory. However if a recalibration is required, proceed as follows:
1/ Attach a P5, P10, P25 or P50 probe to a vertical support.
2/ Select a resolution of 0.0001 mm/0.00001 in.
3/ With the probe in its fully extended contact-free position, reset display to zero (Preset key).
4/ Mechanically position probe under reference base so that readout indicates a measurement:
- for P5, between 0.7 & 0.8 mm
- for P10, between 0.4 & 0.5 mm
- for P25, between 0.8 & 0.9 mm
- for P50, between 1.0 & 1.2 mm
5/ Switch off unit, then switch on by pressing key for four seconds. The following display will appear:
The date of the last calibration is shown.
6/ Place probe on reference base (value 0). Press
7/ Insert 5 mm test block for the P5, a 10 mm for the P10, a 25 mm for the
P25 and a 50 mm for the P50.
8/ Enter exact value of pad on keyboard: 5, 10, 25 or 50 mm,
then press
The calibration value is automatically stored and can only be deleted by a new calibration (changing lithium module or
accumulator does not effect the calibration).
1.7.2 Coupling probe to unit
The user can couple the probe-unit couple and correct from 2 to 25 points linearly.
Example of correction:
1/ Probe P25 with D100S without correction max. error 1.4 µm:
