• stylus balance

Calibration

1 Make sure the surface is level.

2 Turn on the meter with the ON/OFF button. The display will show 0.000 after a few seconds.

Give your stylus balance sufficient warm up time. Usually 30 seconds give the internal

components time to stabilise before calibrating.

3 Press and hold the MODE button until the display shows CAL and 5.000 (flashing).

4 Gently place the 5g weight on the centre of the platform. After approximately 5 seconds the

display will read 5.000, PASS and 5.000.

Occasionally the display will show for example 5.002 or 5.004 instead of 5.000. This is

no defect. It will not affect the calibration.

5 Remove the weight and press ON/OFF to turn off the meter.

Choosing the weighting mode

The meter has to be turned on. The display shows 0.000. Pressing the MODE switches between the

different weighting modes.

Weighting modes: gram (1g = 10mN), ounce (oz), pennyweight (dwt) and carat (ct).

Cartridge downforce adjustment - weighting mode gram

1 Make sure the surface you use the turntable on is level.

2 Remove the stylus guard and the stylus balance protection cover. Gently place the meter on the

platter. Move the headshell over the weighting platform and place the tip of the needle above the

black dot of the weighting platform.

3 Turn on the stylus balance with the ON/OFF button. The display will show 0.000 after a few

seconds. Give your meter sufficient warm up time. Usually 30 seconds to give the internal

components time to stabilise.

4 Gently lower the tonearm until the stylus is on the black dot of the weighting platform. The display

shows the tracking force.

5 Lift the tonearm and adjust the counter weight (tracking weight dial) and repeat the above

procedure until the recommended tracking force is achieved.

Never load the stylus balance with more than 5g, overloading can permanently damage it.
