CHAPTER THREE
QUICK START GUIDE
3.1 Overview
This section demonstrates the basic procedures for setting up and measuring bolts
using the MAX II. More in depth explanations pertaining to the individual functions
and features can be found in the chapters that follow.
Here we go!
3.2 Getting the MAX II ready
In order to get the MAX II ready for operation; the following connections must
be made:
1) Remove the MAX II from the carrying case.
2) Connect the transducer cable to the transducer, and plug the lemo
connector into the gauge.
3) If a temperature sensor is being used, connect the sensor to the MAX II.
3.3 Setting up the MAX II
Please Read: In this section the MAX II will be setup in its simplest form. Remember
this is only a quick start guide to get the user up and measuring bolts. Before we
setup the gauge to measure basic elongation, the following assumptions must be
made: A preset material type will be used. The user will not be re-measuring the
fasteners at a later date to monitor relaxation of the joint over time. This eliminates
the need for an instrument zero/calibration. All these assumptions will be answered
and explained in detail in the chapters that follow.
