5.2 Basic functions (overview) Switch back from the sleep mode The unit switches into the sleep mode after completion of the adjustable time in register P04, if there are no changes in the display value and no key is pressed. To switch back from the sleep mode, the button F must be pressed.
5.3 Parameter settings 1) Press button F for 3 seconds. "P01" (Parameter 01) appears in the display window. 3 sec. 2) Press button F The appropriate parameter value appears in the display 3) Select the desired decade by pressing Set 4) Adjust the desired value by using the Incr/Abs button Incr/ 5) Press F to select the next parameter...

7. Magnetic Tape The magnetic tape consists of 3 components (see picture 1) a magnetized flexible rubber tape (Pos. 3), which is connected factory made with a • steel band (Pos. 5) and a • covering band (Pos. 1) , which is intended for the protection of the rubber tape. •...
7.2 Processing note for sticking The provided sticky tapes stick well on clean, dry and plain surfaces. The more pollution exists the more proper the surface has to be. A surface roughness of R <= 3,2 (R <= 25 / N8) is rec- ommendable.
