Option 7 – Accelerometer
In Custom Mode it is possible to use accelerometers that produce either
10mv/g , 100mV/g or 1000mV/g. By default in Custom Mode this selection
is 100mV/g.
Either 100mV/g or 1000mV/g will be displayed depending on which seat pad
has been selected for Whole Body Vibration. See page 80 for more information.
To ensure meter readings are correct it is essential that the sensitivity selected
matches the transducer being used with the instrument. A mismatched
sensitivity setting and transducer will give incorrect measurement readings.
Press
1
for a sensitivity of 10mV/g.
Press
2
for a sensitivity of 100mV/g.
or
Press
1
for a sensitivity of 10mV/g.
Press
2
for a sensitivity of 1000mV/g.
If the sensitivity is changed then a screen prompt informs you to re-calibrate
your instrument to the new accelerometer being used. Confirmation of having
accepted that the new accelerometer must be calibrated with the new settings
of the instrument is achieved by pressing the
OK
button.
Selection of the change then has immediate effect in Real Time Mode and is
applied to any subsequent recordings taken in this mode.
