String Length Meter - Gamma 6900 Els Owner's Manual

STRING LENGTH METER OPERATION
Note: When reaching the end of a string, pull the string through the SLM slowly unit
it exits the SLM to avoid inaccurate measurement.
The string length meter was designed to measure strings between 1.10 mm (18 ga) and
1.45 mm (15 ga) at an accuracy of +/- 0.3% of the indicated value and +/- 2 inches (50 mm)
absolute. When measuring strings smaller than 1.10 mm (such as badminton strings) the
error will be -2.5% of the indicated value (up to 6" short in 40 ft) and +/- 2 inches (50 mm)
absolute.
SLM Button
To enable the String Length Meter (SLM)
function, press the String Length button on
the keypad. When the String Length but-
ton is pressed, one of the LED indicators
above "M" or "FT" will light up to indicate
that the SLM function is enabled. Press-
ing the String Length button will toggle
between "M" and "FT" to set the measure-
ment units for either Meters ("M") or Feet
("FT"). Measurements are displayed in 0.1
increments.
To measure a length of string from a reel
or set of string, insert the end of the string
through the loop from the backside of the
string guide attached to the front of the
SLM. Lift the clamp pad and insert the
string through the entry hole on the face
plate of the SLM. Continue to feed the
string into the entry hole until it exits the
SLM through the hole on the right side
and release the clamp pad. (In addition to
aligning the strings with the entry to the
SLM, the felt clamp pads apply a slight
amount of pressure to the string and wipe
down the surface of the string to prevent
debris from entering the SLM).
When the end of the string exits through
the hole on the right, press the "C" or "Enter/
Clear" button on the keypad to "Zero" the
display. The length of string will be mea-
sured from the free end to the edge of the
exit hole. Pull the free end of the string at
a slow steady rate and the SLM will begin
measuring the length of string as it is pulled
through the SLM and indicate the measure-
ment on the LED display. When the desired
length of string is measured, cut the string
at the edge of the exit hole.
