CALIBRATION
- The Pen should be calibrated if the batteries have been changed or if the LCD reads “CAL” followed by
- “- - - -”.
- Remember, calibration involves depressing the Operator Button TWICE and getting ONE
- line (- - - -). To take a reading requires depressing the Operator Button ONCE and getting
- TWO lines (====).
- 1. Point the transducer end straight down towards the floor.
- 2. Press the Operator Button “distinctly, two times, within 1.5 seconds.”
- 3. Initially “CAL” appears on the LCD, followed by “UP” (after about 15 - 30 seconds!)
- 4. Invert the transducer end to point straight up toward the sky.
- 5. A properly functioning Pen will display “”Good”.
- If “bAd”, repeat the calibration again.
- If this is all unsuccessful, options include
- cleaning the tip (compressed air is recommended)
- change the batteries. Use the little probe that came with the Pen to open the
- battery compartment.
