Knot String Function
The Knot String function is used to increase
the applied tension by a set percentage over
the tension setting on the last main string
or cross string pulled before tying of f. This
function helps to compensate for tension loss
caused by the slack portion of the string from
the string clamp to the tie-off knot.
Pressing the KNOT button will toggle the
Knot function on and off. When the Knot function is enabled, the Knot Icon will appear on the
Stringing Screen and the Blue LED will illuminate next to the KNOT button. The function will
be enabled for the next pull and then will automatically disable itself.
Setting the Knot Tension from the
Stringing Screen
To change the Knot Setting while in the
Stringing Screen, press the KNOT button
once and while the Knot Icon is visible on
the display, press and hold the Knot button
again until the Knot Setting is highlighted
above the Knot Icon. Press any of the F2,
F3 or F4 keys to increase the Knot Setting
in 1% increments and any of the F6, F7 or F8 keys to decrease the Knot Setting in 1% incre-
ments. When the desired Knot Setting is displayed, press ENTER to save the Knot Setting
for the active Memory Setting.
NOTE: Selectable Knot Settings range from 0% to 30% in 1% increments.
Setting the Knot Tension from the
Setting Screen
To change the Knot Setting from the Settings
Screen, press F1 to display the Settings
Screen. After the Settings Screen appears
on the display, press the KNOT button to
highlight the Knot Setting above the Knot
Icon. Press any of the F2, F3 or F4 keys to
increase the Knot Setting in 1% increments
and any of the F6, F7 or F8 keys to decrease the Knot Setting in 1% increments. When the
desired Knot Setting is displayed, press ENTER to accept and save the Knot Setting for the
active Memory Setting. If no other buttons are pressed within 10 seconds the display will
return to the Stringing Screen. Pressing the ESC or RETURN button will immediately return
to the Stringing Screen.
