1 Introduction
Push the ON/OFF button to switch the Field Tester on.
Push the ON/OFF button 4 seconds to switch the Field Tester off.
IMPORTANT: please mind others and your own safety when using the Field Tester. Make sure no
parts of the body (hands, feet, toes) are in the trajectory of the drop weight or anywhere nearby when
you start a measurement and release the drop weight.
IMPORTANT: The Field Tester has been
calibrated. For your own reference, we recommend
to perform a reference measurement on the
enclosed rubber tile immediately after receipt. Mind
the following:
•Use a concrete floor as sub-base as flat
and thick as possible;
•Always position the Field Tester on the
same spot and mark this spot;
•It is preferred to always measure at the
same room temperature;
•Measure exactly at the centre of the tile
(due to profiled back)
•Always note the results (mean of 10
measurements) and circumstances.
In case you have doubtful readings on artificial turf after a while, perform a reference measurement as
described above. Results that are in line with the initial reference readings indicate a properly working
Field Tester. In case you find deviations bigger than the tolerance of a few %-points or millimetres, or
in case of other doubts, contact Deltec Equipment.
Connect the sensor cable (that comes from the sensor
in the drop weight) to the plug shown in the picture.
