Page 7: Application And Measurements 1.1
Chapter 1 Application and measurements Decelerometer is used for measurements of overall brake decelerations of traffic vehicles. The value of deceleration is measured, as well as its dependence on the controlling force applied to the brake pedal, or its dependence on the air pressure in the air pressure brakes. -
Page 8: Decelerometer Accessories And Options 1.3
Printing: - Company headings - Date and Time - Graphics with numerical values - Two lines containing the confirmation of measurement - Additional information about Decelerometer configuration Power supply: - build in NiMH rechargeable battery, charging from AC adapter Memory: - Internal memory for up to 128 measurements. -
Page 9: Principle Of Measurement 1.4
The principle of measurement The measurement is performed by simultaneous recording the deceleration and the controlling force applied to the brake pedal or by recording of the vehicle deceleration and the air pressure in the air braking system. All data are stored in the internal memory after the button Start has been applied. -
Page 10: Report Printing 1.6
Report printing When the measurements are stored, the report can be printed. The record contains the company’s head (can be disabled), time and date, and the measured values and the time. The maximum deceleration value and the duration of the measurement will be printed as well. -

Chapter 3 Service and Maintenance The paper and the ribbon of the printer have to be replaced when necessary. The battery has to be charged with the enclosed battery charger (9V, 1.2A) in regular intervals. The printer is prone to dust environments. All repairs of the Decelerometer should be performed by the manufacturer.
