Verication and adjustment of the reading
index
To verify or to adjust the reading index, in particular after having
renewed a tape, apply the following instruction:
• if the equipment is tted with a 2” connector (Q2) remove
the clip and the collar as shown on Figure 10-12;
• unlock and remove the lid of the tape housing;
• put the tape cleaner on “DOWN” position;
• keep the equipment standing vertically on a at surface;
• gently lower the tape until the sensor touches the surface
(Figure 10-12);
• adjust the index to the value corresponding to the connector
Q1 or Q2, as shown on Figure 10-12;
• In case of a 2” connector (Q2) put back the clip and the
collar.
• Put the housing lid back and lock it.
IMPORTANT NOTE: these adjusting values for the reading
index are different from the heights shown in the section 8
“Examples of installation of the gauging system”. They take
into account the recessment of the reaction point from the
sensor tip end and other mechanical parameters.
