Versitron Operation Manual
As previously indicated the load setting is changed by turning the chromed Capstan
Wheel on the test head. As an approximate to the capstan wheel adjustment screen, a
red line indicator on the load plate moves from one load position to another as the
wheel is turned - for example from 150 kg to 100 kg on a regular Rockwell scale head
or from 45 kg to 30 kg on a superficial Rockwell scale head. The red line indicator
should be approximately centered at the proper load setting hole on the load plate.
Then the operator should check the calibration. (see section 5.9).
To determine the proper load for a given scale, refer to the chart at the back of the
manual, section 10.1.
