Adjusting the contactor pins

I

Loosen the lock screw (1) by turning the screw 
counter clockwise 2 full turns. 

Press the High contactor (2) to start the 
extraction, grip the Contactor rod (4) on the 
opposite side and pull the contactor open to 
create a gap large enough to loosely fit the new 
component.  If more space is required, push the 
Insertion lever (6) to the left until the component 
fits into the Component insertion site (5).

III

Gently press in on contactor rod (4) until the new 
component is centered in component insertion 
site (5).

Continue to apply pressure to the contactor rod 
(4) while tightening the lock screw by turning it 
clockwise. Do not over tighten the lock screw. 
This completes the adjustment process and 
components of the same size can now be easily 
changed. 

Press the Insertion lever (6) to retract the Low 
contactor pin. While holding the lever open, 
remove the previous component and place the 
next component in the insertion site (5).  Slowly 
release the lever to contact the new component 
and begin the next measurement.  

Note: The contactor pins should be cleaned 
periodically to remove contamination.
