6.  To make a caliper profile or to measure the thinnest or thickest 

spot, move the instrument slowly towards the edge of the fabric 
or felt. When the probe goes over the edge of the fabric or felt, 
the data recording will stop automatically the red indicator 
stops flashing. 

 
Note: 

For press felts it isn’t always needed to make a caliper profile.  
In that case keep the instrument steady and after a few seconds 
switch off the data recording by pushing the trigger again. Open 
the mouth by pulling the trigger and remove the instrument. 

 
7. Check the zero setting.  

If, due to temperature differences during measuring, zero has 
shifted more than ± 0.03 mm, the measurement must be 
discarded; set zero and execute a new measurement. 

 
8. To display the lowest/highest and the average value, press 

button (min, max, avg) several times. Pressing the button once 
more will show the current value again. 

 
9. Pressing the (ⱷ, set zero) button shortly will turn off the instrument.  
 
 

5.3 Feltest Caliper Profiler memory navigation 

 
Every time a recording is started, automatically a new memory 
position is created.  
 
Shortly push 

p+ 

button or 

p- 

button to navigate up or down through 

the memory positions. 
 
When the 

del pos 

button is pushed longer than 2 seconds  

the current memory position will be deleted.  
As long as the display reads 

p xx delete? 

(xx = memory position) it is 

still possible to cancel by releasing the button.  
 
A deleted position is shown by 

– xx 

instead of 

p xx

.
