Prepping the Test Foot
1) Remove a test foot from the storage container. If it is dirty or shiny from testing, lightly sand
the SBR material.
2) Using 2000 grit wet/dry silicone paper, drag the foot across the paper 2 times, rotate 90
degrees, repeat 3 more times so the foot is sanded in 4 directions.
3) Brush the foot with the enclosed brush to clean off sanding residue.
If you have a spray bottle it is recommended to spray the foot and
then brush to further clean of any sanding residue.
4) Make sure the meter is turned off and install the test foot by
screwing it into the bottom of the meter in the weighted block in the
slot opening on the bottom of the meter.
Do not press hard or attempt to move the assembly by sliding the
mechanism or side to side. This will damage the load cell.
Test the Reference Surface
1) Apply SLS to the reference surface in approximately a 1 ½” x 3”
strip. Lining the meter up over the SLS, using the black lines on the
side of the meter (shows the travel area).
2) Turn the meter on and select 1 to continue.
3) Press 0 to run a zero calibration run.
4) Press 1 to start or 2 to cancel if not ready. Once the 1 is pressed the meter will run the travel
distance with the test foot in the air. If this is done with the SLS it will spread the SLS back and
forth over the test area also. After the end of the calibration run, the meter will return the test
foot to the start position.
5) Press 1 to continue
6) Verify the SLS is on the test foot travel area.
7) Select 1 pass.
8) Press 1 to start.
9) Press 1 to continue.
10) Press 1 to continue.
11) Press the meter down after the display instructs this. Let up when the test is complete.
12) Discard the reading. Press C to repeat.
13) If the foot was sanded, repeat this procedure 1 or 2 more times to condition the test foot.
Testing
1) Select the type of test you would like to make, 1 for single pass, 4 for 4 passes (1 of each
direction 0 deg., 90 deg., 180 deg. and 270 deg. averaged into one final DCOF, or 6 for 6 passes,
3 in one direction and 3 in a direction 90 deg from the original, and then averaged into 1 final
DCOF.
2) After selecting the display will indicate P1 for first pass and 0 deg if using a 4 or 6 pass run.
Press 1 to start and you can use the edit function to assign a location number.
