3.3.2 Initialization of gauge sensor
Procedure
Ensure that the device is switched off. The measurement probes have to be adjusted into a
distance of 1435 mm. This is best done by use of a suitable template or calibration jig. Oth-
erwise use a ruler and set markings determining a distance of 1435 mm use. Then adjust the
measurement probes according to the markings.
Press and hold button 5 on the keypad while switching on the device. Finally release button
5 as soon as the display indicates the value of 1435,0 mm.
Now perform the minimum gauge check (
à
Section 3.3.1) again if the situation has been
improved.
In case the initialization procedure fails to deliver any improvement, the measuring device
must be checked and recalibrated at the factory.

Rotate measuring device by 180°, place it at same track position and wait about
5-10 seconds
6 Read off cant value #2
7 Finally compare cant value #1 with cant value #2
The two recorded cant values are compared. The values should not differ by more than 1,0
mm,
with an inverted preceding sign .
In the event of a variation > 2 mm, the inclination sensor has to be initialized (
