6.3 How to calibrate

Using the sensor stand will add additional comfort during the calibration procedure. For more

details please refer to section 5.3.3.

For all calibration methods the following applies:

To call the Calibration menu from Measure mode menu, press the Calibration function key.

Use the arrow keys to go to “Target Ball”. Press OK to confirm. Use arrow keys to adjust to

the requested target ball size. Press OK to confirm.

Use arrow key to go to “Calibration Mode”. Press OK to confirm and use arrow keys to

make your selection. Press OK to confirm.

6.3.1 Factory Calibration

Use arrow keys to select “Factory“. Press OK to confirm. The gauge is

ready for measurement.

6.3.2 Zero only

Use arrow keys to select “Zero only“. Press OK to confirm.

For zero point calibration, the zero standards supplied with the gauge

must be used together with the matching target balls. Make sure

always first to place the target ball into the zero standard. Then put

both together onto the sensor. Wait for the sound to bleep, remove the

precision standard and keep it in a distance of at least 30 mm.

For mean calculation it is recommended to repeat the procedure

several times. (To get reasonable values it is always recommended to

take several readings and to have the mean calculated). Press OK to

confirm.

A ticked box right to “Zero“ will confirm successful calibration.

Now the gauge is ready for measurement.
