The LCD display is made of thin glass covered by a
protective layer of polycarbonate. Excessive force or
pressure may crack the display and void the product
warranty. The protective plastic may become scratched if not
carefully cleaned with a soft damp cloth only.
When the tribometer is being packed inside the transport
case, be careful not to place anything on top of it. If the lid is
closed with an object resting atop the unit, it could damage
the display or control switches.
Always ship the device in the approved transport case with
batteries stowed in their foam slot only. Shipping or
transporting the device in any other container will void the
factory warranty.
Each unit contains an internal shock monitoring device which
indicates if the unit has been dropped or subjected to an
extreme sudden force. Activation of this monitor will void the
factory warranty.
THE MULTI-LEVEL OPERATING MENU
The BOT-3000E menu system (Fig.1) has been designed to be

Test Methods such as ANSI A326.3 can be selected within the
menu and the device will help automate the entire testing
procedure, performing the necessary calculations and formatting
the results into an easy to understand summary or report. This
saves time and reduces the possibility of operator errors. As new
test methods are developed and introduced, they can be easily
integrated into the menu system via the firmware update process.
These updates may performed by simply loading a file provided

USB flash drive.
When the tribometer is first powered on, the main screen will be
visible. From here you can make various selections by simply
