1.) To switch between the
measuring units kp // cm and
2
lbs // inch 2 :
Press the <Set> key and the
<Memo> key at the same time.
2.) To set the racquet Head
Size:
Press the <Set> key and then
the <Start> key. Hold the keys
until the head size (or nearest)
you plan to measure shows.
3.) To measure the string bed:
Pull the 'T' piece to its upper
position. This will cause the
'Hook' on the back of the meter
to extend so that it can be
hooked under the Centre Cross
String. Squeeze the 'T' piece
down to its lower position with
care.
It is important that it is clear of
the main strings and in the very
centre of the string bed. Dense
string bed patterns may make
this a little difficult.
Use a blunt awl to separate the
strings and present the meter
string hook diagonal to the
separated strings.
To facilitate future measure-
ment it is useful to mark the
string you used to take the first
measurement.
4.) Taking a reading:
Hold the racquet between thumb
and forefinger as loosely as
possible and let it hang down-
wards so that it is free to vibrate.
Press <Start> and three dotted
lines will appear on the dial.
Hook
Slightly tap the racquet head
with your finger at about 3
o'clock.
Tap
This will cause the frame to
vibrate and the meter will record
the string bed tension
Too light a tap may not cause
enough vibration for the meter to
read. Too violent a tap will cause
an inaccurately high reading.
Hence take care and try and
evolve a tap that gives a
consistent reading.
The reading will clear in 15
seconds, press the <Memo>
button, it will re-appear.
Take at least 3 readings to
ensure an accurate and
consistent reading.
You can call up the last reading
by pressing the <Memo> key
(even after weeks).
IMPORTANT TO KNOW
It is unnecessary (and not
possible) to switch the meter
off.
The Mini STT registers tension
from 37 lb. to 77 lb. Tension
below 37 lb will be shown with
35lb (even if it is lower than
that).
The Mini STT and all other
string bed testers do not
record a figure that is directly
comparable with the stringing
machine reference tension.
Scientific research shows that
the string bed tension
immediately after stringing
with a co-polyester string is
25% lower than the pull
tension.
