4 MEASURING
The technician must have a clear
understanding of the damage to the vehicle
before attempting to use the TECH-D
measuring tool.
Being well informed and aware of specific
structural damage to the vehicle beforehand
will highlight possible faults or
inconsistencies in measurement values on
data sheets at an early stage, also incorrect
mounting or measuring points selected by
mistake.
Measurement values shown on data sheets
and the way the measuring arm is being
used should be constantly reviewed to
ensure that it is being used correctly.
Likewise checking to see that the right
vehicle has been selected in the database is
equally important.
When in doubt check the above points
thoroughly, and if the problem persists, contact
the TECH-D distributor or submit your question
to our on-line tech support. Refer also to items
3.1 – 3.2.
4.1 Mounting of the magnetic attachment
Make sure that the mounting points on both
sides of the vehicle are in the right location, and
that they have been cleaned.
Select a suitable datum rod and snap the
magnetic adaptor onto the ball of the height rod
and test attach it in the selected mounting
position. Make sure that the magnetic
attachment is firmly seated and that there is no
play.
Remove the magnetic attachment with height
calibration rod and mount it in the holder at the
rear end of the measuring arm. Use firm
downward pressure to click the rod in place.
