6 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
The Mini Plus must be re-calibrated every two years. The reason for this is to maintain
creditability in tests and acceptance of data according to international standards. Each
time the unit is turned on; the LCD will show the date that the re-calibration is due. At the
time the unit is due for re-calibration, the LCD screen will show:
“Calibration Due!
Please contact your vendor for re-
calibration”
, and further testing will be disabled.
There are two ways of calibrating the Brake Meter - either return the AutoStop Mini Plus
to your local distributor or by returning the Brake Meter to Auto Test Products (See
Section 6.1).
