TROUBLESHOOTING WITH THE
METER CHECK DISK
IMPORTANT!! Do not attempt to separate
the components of the Meter Check Disk
(Code 1705- EU). The Meter Check Disk
consists of a disk with a permanently
attached cover. Do not fill the Meter Check
Disk with water. Water is not used in the
Meter Check Disk.
CALIBRATION OPERATIONS The Meter
Check Disk (MCD) is used to perform two
calibration operations – Check Calibration
and Start Calibration. The Start Calibration
procedure should only be performed if the
meter fails the Check Calibration procedure.
Check Calibration Meters are calibrated
at the time of manufacture. However, it
is possible for the calibration settings to
be lost due to power anomalies or other
circumstances. The Meter Check Disk is
used in the Check Calibration procedure to
determine whether the alignment of the
hub and disk are correct. For some meters,
it also evaluates the brightness of the
individual LEDs.
1. Follow the CLEANING procedure to clean
the light chamber and optic lenses.
2. From the main test page, tap
Settings.
3. Tap Calibration.
4. Tap Check Calibration.
5. Remove the Meter Check Disk (Code
1705-EU) from the foil pouch. DO NOT
remove the black cover from the disk.
Insert the Meter Check Disk (MCD) into
the meter and close the lid.
6. Tap Start.
7. The meter will briefly spin. When it is
complete, six channel values will be
displayed. Compare the displayed channel
values to those printed on the MCD pouch.
If the displayed channel values are within
the ranges provided on the Meter Check
Disk pouch, the meter is calibrated and
performing normally. If the displayed
channel values are not within the ranges
provided on the Meter Check Disk pouch,
perform the Start Calibration procedure.
Note: Range specifications are specific to
the disk identified by the serial number on
the pouch. The range specifications will
vary from disk to disk. The exact readings
from a specific disk may vary from meter
to meter.

9. Remove the MCD from the meter and
return to the foil pouch for storage.
Start Calibration The Start Calibration
procedure calibrates the alignment of
the hub and disk for all meters and sets
the brightness of the individual LEDs for
compatible meters. Before performing
this calibration procedure, run the Check
Calibration procedure to determine whether
the meter is calibrated and operating
normally. The Start Calibration procedure
should only be completed if the meter fails
the Check Calibration procedure.
1. Follow the CLEANING procedure to clean
the light chamber and optic lenses.
2. From the main test screen, tap
select Settings.
3. Tap Calibration.
4. Tap Start Calibration.
5. Remove the Meter Check Disk (Code
1705-EU) from the foil pouch. DO NOT
remove the black cover from the disk.
Insert the Meter Check Disk. Close the lid.
6. Tap Start.

7. When the calibration is complete the
message "Angle Calibration Successful"
will appear. Meters that can also perform
an LED calibration will display "LED
Calibration Successful".
8. Tap
Angle Calibration checks the alignment of
the hub and disk. The LED Calibration sets
the brightness of the individual LEDs. The
results are reported as pass or fail. If the
measurements pass, the settings will be
saved, and the meter is calibrated. If the
analysis fails, contact Support.
Storage Store the disk in a cool, dry place in
the foil pouch with the desiccant. The disk is
sensitive to moisture. Exposure to excessive
heat or moisture may cause degradation
of the disk. The Meter Check Disk contains
delicate materials. Do not drop, jar, or twist
the disk. Do not get the disk wet. Keep the
Meter Check Disk clean and dry.
