h. Manually raise the load nose by lifting the weight pan and gently rotate the step disk to the “A” position.
Gently lower the load nose until the pin rests lightly on the “A” step. Wait five seconds and press “Next”.
i. Manually raise the load nose again and gently rotate the step disk to the “B” position. Gently lower the load
nose until the pin rests lightly on the “B” step. Wait five seconds and press “Next”.
j. Manually raise the load nose again and gently rotate the step disk to the “C” position. Gently lower the load
nose until the pin rests lightly on the “C” step. Wait five seconds and press “Next”.
k. Manually raise the load nose again and gently rotate the step disk to the “D” position. Gently lower the load
nose until the pin rests lightly on the “D” step. Wait five seconds and press “Next”.
l. Press “Finish” to record calibration.
NOTE: The calibration constant should be ≤ 2.5µm and repeatable within 10% from one
standardization to another. If it is not, contact Applied Test Systems at +1-724-283-1212
4. Standardizing the Compliance
a. Press the “Compliance” button on the Standardization Screen.
b. With the load frame mounted in the bath load the non-compliant beam into test position.
c. Slowly adjust the zero regulator to the lower loading nose until it gently makes contact with the beam (20mN
±10mN). Press the “Next” button.
e. Select weight A from the gauge kit and place it on the weight pan. Wait five seconds and press the “Next”
button.
g. Select weight B from the gauge kit and place it on top of weight A. Wait five seconds and press the “Next”
Button.
i. Select weight C from the gauge kit and place it on top of weight B. Wait five seconds and press the “Next”
button.
k. Select weight D from the gauge kit and place it on top of weight C. Wait five seconds and select the “Next”
button.
m. Select “Finish” to record the calibration contestant.
NOTE: The calibration constant should be less than or equal to 5μm/N and repeatable within
10% from one standardization to another. If it is not, contact Applied Test Systems at +1-724-
283-1212
E.6 Verification Process
Verification of most BBR2S components will need to occur every 24 hours - this is usually done at the beginning of a
day of testing. You will need a BBR2S gauge kit and a calibrated thermometer (see RTD) to perform a verification.
The BBR2S’s system status lights, located at the bottom right of the screen, indicate whether or not a component
