1. To be able to optimise the operational lifetime of the battery pack and to obtain an optimum power capacity it is imperative to perform at least 5 complete charging cycles when using the instrument initially It is not necessary to wait until the batteries are fully charged The instrument is immediately operational after connection of the AC adaptor It is not dangerous to leave the AC adaptor constantly connected 750 50 0001 03 8 28 A rrimos MESTRE 4 Getting started 4 1 Setting into operation The section 10 will give you detailed information 1 To switch on the instrument press the On Off key D To switch it off press the same key 2 sec The display will ask for the reference Move the measuring carriage slowly until the small triangular reference symbol has been passed An acoustic signal will confirm that the reference has been detected and the display starts counting If the display does not start counting repeat the sequence The instrument is now asking for the probe constant This function compensates the dimension and the deflexion of the measuring insert when probing downwards and upwards reversed surfaces diameters Position the measuring insert between the two surfaces of the setting gauge Do not move the instrument and the setting gauge any more Note This procedure may be interrupted by pressing The last stored probe constant value will then be considered Positio2. the probing will be relieved This means that the measuring force for probing in downwards direction using the standard insert will be lower 2 To test the floating probe suspension use a dynamometer Bring the dynamometer lever in contact with the measuring insert Move either the lever or the insert until the sound of the acoustic signal and read the measuring force on the dynamometer Repeat the same procedure for the opposite movement Compare the two results and re adjust if necessary Both directions must be balanced equal values 750 50 0001 03 25 28 A rrimos MESTRE 10 10 Position of the measuring insert in the holder Be careful about the position of the measuring insert in the holder The orientation of the insert is extremely important for a perfect contact of the ball insert on the measuring surface for zero setting Wrong 10 11 Replacing the battery pack As soon as the autonomy of the instrument becomes unacceptable change the battery pack 1 Purchase a new battery pack at your local TRIMOS agent supplied with the upper plastic protection cover 2 Switch the instrument off disconnect the AC adaptor and remove the upper plastic protection cover 3 Disconnect the used battery pack and replace it by the new one To keep the time and date in memory the instrument should not be disconnected longer than 2 minutes 4 Put the plastic protection cover back into position Be careful abo
