What do I do when the zero reading is unstable ?
Because the
measurement is very sensitive to shock and vibration, you can improve
it as follows:
1. Reduce the closing speed, making the closure softer.
2. Clean the tie bar surface better at the measuring location, using a wire brush
if necessary.
3. Adjust the setting of the knurled screw on the Sensor X-102. Do not set it too
high.
4. As an alternative to measuring the tie bar strain during closing, the strain can
also be measured when the mold opens. Experience shows that there is less
vibration on opening. Press the
ZERO
button when the mold is closed, and keep
it closed for about 20 seconds. When the mold opens the display will show a
negative pressure. Ignore the minus sign. Do this two more times, then read the
average value.

Following some disturbance in an industrial environment it may happen that the display
shows a positive or negative zero.
You can press the
ZERO
button at any time before starting a measurement,
to provide a better zero.

What can I do if the display does not indicate zero but a reading during a measurement ?
Vibration in the machine can sometimes cause the measuring blade to slip.
If the offset is not too large, i.e. not more than ±10
µε, you can just subtract it from
the result.
