Introduction; Quick Start - DeFelsko PosiTector RTR 3D Mode D'emploi

The PosiTector Replica Tape Reader (RTR-3D) is a hand-held
electronic instrument that measures burnished Testex Press-O- Film
replica tape and uses a light intensity versus thickness algorithm to
produce three-dimensional (3D) images of the replicated surface.
Images generated within the gage are analyzed to produce 2D and 3D
parameters that represent specific characteristics of a surface.

The PosiTector RTR-3D powers-up when the center navigation
button is pressed. To preserve battery life, the Gage powers
down after approximately 5 minutes of no activity. All settings are
retained.
With the Gage powered down...
1. Clean the probe with included cleaning card and microfiber
cloth. (pg. 9)
2. Power-up Gage by pressing the center
3. Zero the probe. (pg. 12)
4. Verify Gage accuracy. (pg. 10)
5. Measure the burnished replica tape. (pg. 8)
NOTE:
To ensure best accuracy, the user will be prompted to zero the probe
every time the Gage is powered-up. It is therefore good practice to clean the
probe regularly with the included cleaning card and microfiber cloth. Cleaning is
best performed when the Gage is powered down.
