8.0 SETUP
CHECKING ACCURACY. If you want to verify the accuracy of your instrument, simulate a tension load on your
cable by suspending known weights to a sample length of the same type of cable. When you engage the meter this
weight value should display. Thus when a 100 lb weight is freely suspended from the cable, the tension will be 100
lbs, and your instrument should indicate 100 lbs.
8.1 Custom Calibrations for the ACX-Series of Digital Tension Meters
Warning: The Custom Calibration feature is password protected. In order to perform a Custom Calibration a
series of key inputs are required. If you enter the password sequence and the press Enter while an existing
calibration in the menu is selected/highlighted, it will void that current calibration selection.
8.2 Performing a 5-Point, Multilinerization Calibration
Step 1: From the Main Display press ↑ or ↓ arrows until you reach Setup. Press ENTER. Press the ↓ arrow button
until you reach Cal Tension. Press ENTER. The screen will display: Setup, Calibrate Tension, Enter Password.
