ECORD THIS CALIBRATION NUMBER ON LAST PAGE OF MANUAL
.
2. Set Mode Select switch to the “ SET- UP” mode.
The console displays the current Distance
Calibration Number. Record this number for future
reference. As an example, assume this number is
1000.
D. Drive the vehicle to the starting point of the mea-
sured distance and stop.
E. Zero out the Distance Accumulator
1. Return the Mode Select switch to the “ OPERATE”
position.
2. Reset the distance to zero using the DEC. switch.
F. Drive the vehicle to the other end of the measured
distance at a speed of between five and ten miles per
hour. Distance measurements will accumulate on the
display.
G. Stop the vehicle at the measured distance end marker.
Compare the indicated distance to the actual Mea-
sured distance, to determine how much correction is
necessary. For example: if the indicated distance is
396 Ft. after driving over a 400 foot range, the error in
the distance calibration is 1.0%.
H. Calculate the new Distance Calibration Number using
the following formula:
Example: (400 / 396) x 1000 = 1010, the New DC#
NOTE: The same calibrations are used, regardless of
the type of distance sensor .
J. Enter the corrected Cal. #.
1. Select "SETUP" mode.
2. Use the "INC/DEC" switch to enter the new
calibration number (See page 2-5).
3. Switch back to the "OPERATE" mode. The
distance accumulator should now agree with the
measured distance that you traveled. If it doesn't ,
recheck your calculations.
