2. HOW TO USE THE INSTRUMENT
2:1 DESCRIPTION
The importance of accurate crankshaft deflection measurement can´t be enough
emphasized. The DI-5C series of instruments are designed to be both accurate, fast and
user friendly. The complete instrument set is stored in a customized carrying case which
includes Main instrument, Battery Charger, Transducer, Connecting cable, Extension
bars, Measuring tip, Program Manual and User Manual.
The DI-5C is a robust construction, however, it is also a high precision measuring
instrument and should be handled with care.
The TRANSDUCER is the measuring device and must be connected to the instrument
with the special cable, length approximately 7 m / 20 ft.
Extension bars are included in lengths of 10, 20, 40, 80 and 2 x 160 mm. The transducer
with measuring tip has a minimum measuring distance of 89 mm. The many extension
bars allow for measuring any distance between (min) 89 to (max) 565 mm. An optional
transducer for down to 60 mm web distance is available, however, the Ovality Kit
accessory cannot be used together with it.
All selections, information and value parameters shown on the display are accepted by
pressing the ’OK’ button. Change values by pressing the left < and right > arrow
buttons. Study the Flow scheme (chapter 5) carefully, it illustrates the various steps.
Each step is described in text below.
2:2 DISPLAY
The user procedures are menu based and information/values are presented in the
display window.
There are two display rows, each row has a capacity of 12 letters, numbers or blanks.
The display can be illuminated by a back light and the illumination can be adjusted in
ten steps.
When batteries go low on power, a battery indicator
shows the need for charging.
For battery charge see section 2.12
NOTE 1
If the DI-5C is not used for a long time, then it´s necessary
to charge the battery at least once a year.
NOTE 2
Don’t use the charger as a power supply.
It’s only for charging the Li-Ion battery.
