Quick Start Guide

The RAC-100 and 200 DMIs will allow you to accurately measure distance
quickly and easily. However, before you can do this a few basic steps must
be taken to ensure that you get the optimum performance from your instru-
ment.

Step 1 Install your DMI and its modular sensor. Refer to Chapter 2 for de-

tailed instructions on this. If you would like to have the equipment
professionally installed, contact a garage or speedometer shop in
your area.

Step 2 Calibrate your instrument. Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed instruc-

tions on how this is done. Your DMI will not accurately measure
distance unless it is properly calibrated.

Step 3 Perform a test measurement with your vehicle. Once your DMI has

been calibrated, you should perform a test measurement over a
known distance. This will ensure that the instrument has been cali-
brated correctly. To do a test measurement, drive to your starting
point and stop. Turn on the DMI and wait until C.H is shown on the
right side of the display and zero is shown on the left side. Next,
press the C Hold (count hold) button to release the instrument from
count hold and then drive the distance to be measured. Stop and/
or press the C Hold button once you reach the end of the distance
to be measured.

Step 4 Familiarize yourself with the features and options of the instrument

that you will be using. Refer to Chapter 4 for more detailed instruc-
tions on the functions and procedures of the RAC-100 or 200.

Step 5 Practice. Before attempting to use the instrument on a job, be sure

you are comfortable with how to operate it.
