CALIPERS
On-Line Calipers are giving inaccurate readings
1.
Re-calibrate as instructed on the screen. (Defaults/Calibration).
2.
Go into a 3-site Skinfold test.
3.
Zero the calipers.
4.
Place the 25.4mm calibration dowel in the jaws of the calipers lengthwise.
5.
Press the “Measure” switch on the calipers.
6.
The reading on the screen should be within 24.5mm and 26.0mm. Do this 3
times and note each reading.
7.
If the readings are not within 24.5mm and 26.0mm, re-calibrate and repeat.
8.
If the dial
on the calipers
do not read exactly 25.4mm when the dowel is in
the calipers, do not worry! The dial on the caliper is not as accurate as the
digital reading being sent to the computer.
9.
If still not within the above values, call the Polar/HealthFirst Corporation
Technical Support Line (505-344-9679).

Range of Motion is inconsistent
1.
Re-calibrate ROM (Defaults/Calibration) according to the instructions on the
screen.

12” from the foot plate and press the Ent er key.
4.
Return the handle slowly to the foot plate and allow the TriFIT to take the
reading.
