7. Getting started
The instrument stands on a granite surface table
(or e.i. cast Iron table)
-Switch ON the instrument by pressing the key (ON).
-The display will show
-The reference of the column must be taken :
-Move the probe (A) slowly and cross
the two arrows to take the reference.
This operation will memorized this
reference point improve
the accuracy of the instrument.
-The display will begin to count.
If during this operation the display
doesn’t count.
restart the operation again.
-If the indicator (36) showing complete
battery discharge, connect the AC
adaptor. The instrument remains
opérational.
Complete recharging takes 15 hours.
-It will not do any harm by connecting the AC adaptor
continiously, because it will charge the instrument with
a maintenance power.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO WAIT FOR THE INSTRUMENT TO BE
FULLY CHARGED BEFORE USE :
INSTRUMENT CAN BE USED DURING CHARGE CYCLE.

be changed.(Lifespan about 4 to 6 years)
1. Purchase a battery pack from your TRIMOS distributor.
2. Switch off the instrument.
3. Place the instrument in an horizontal position onto a table. (steady)
4. Unscrew the base plate. (5 screws)
5. Disconnect the battery pack (A)
6. Connect the new battery pack and refit the base plate. Take care not to damage
Any connecting cables.
7. Charge the new battery pack ~15 heures.

9. Adjusting the measuring pressure
DO NOT ADJUST UNLESS IT IS REQUIRED !
Tools to be used
-1 Hex screwdriver wrench ( 2 mm)
-1 Dynamomètre (force gage) 0 –300 grs
-The adjustment screw (7) is situated at the left side of
the column, inside on the measuring carriage.
-The measuring pressure is factory set at approx. 1 N.
-By turning this adjustment screw anticlockwise, the
measuring pressure will be decreased.(2 turns = ~0.1N)
-By turning this adjustment screw clockwise, the
measuring pressure will be increased. (2 turns = ~0.1N)
-The measuring pressure range is :
min : 0.7N –max : 1,6N.
How to adjust ?
-Measure the dynamometer until the acoustic signal ring.
-Read the dynamometer (e.i. : 100 grs).
To be more accurate, measure by using the fine adjustment.
10. Adjustment of the floating probe suspension
DO NOT ADJUST UNLESS IT IS REQUIRED !
Tools to be used
-1 Hex screwdriver wrench (2mm)
-1 Dynamometer (force gage) 0 –300 grs.
-The adjustment screw (10) is situated on the left side of
the column, inside on the measuring carriage.
-If the measuring pressure is higher in the upwards
direction (probe too heavy), turn the control screw
anticlockwise. (1 turn = ~10 grs.)
-If the measuring pressure is higher in the downwards
direction (probe too light), turn the control screw
clockwise. (1 turn = ~10grs.)
-The TRIMOS probes weights about ~25grs, the probe
suspension could be adjusted upto a probe of 150grs.
How to adjust ?
-Measure the dynamometer until the acoustic signal ring.
1. (from bottom to top)
-Read the dynamometer (e.i. : 100 grs)
2. (from top to bottom)
-Read the dynamometer (e.i. : 102 grs)
-The measuring pressure has to be equal in both directions.

13. How to start up ?
13.1 Setting the probe constant.
To measure reversed surfaces, or diameters.
the instrument takes account of the probe constant, i.e.
the diameter of the ball and its deflection.
The green light comes on when the probe comes into
contact with the part being measured.
1. Switch ON the instrument, then press
key
Move the probe across the two arrows to
initialize the column reference (see page 8)
2. Memorizing the constant : press
key
3. Touch surface (P1) (green light ON)
4. Touch surface (P2) (green light ON)
5. Release the probe. The probe constant is
memorized for future measures.
Attention :
The probe constant must be reset after changing
probe or after moving the probe position.
13.2 Measuring heights
Taking the reference : Touch the reference plane (P1), the
green light is ON.
1. Press PRESET key quickly (>1 sec.)
Set the display at zero,
or memorizes PRESET value.
Measuring height : Touch surface (P2), the green light
is ON. The value is displayed.
