Ortofon DS-3 Stylus Pressure Gauge

The Ortofon DS-3 is a new, lightweight and compact stylus pressure gauge. The DS-3 is a highly accurate, non-magnetic miniature instrument that tunes your tonearm to the highest possible precision. The DS-3 is factory pre-calibrated for highly accurate measurements with a tolerance of +/- 0.01 g.

Operating instructions:

• Turn on the device by pressing the ON button. The display will show 0000.
• Press the UNIT button to select measurement unit. The default setting is grams/g.
• Place the stylus on the measuring plate on the right side of the device. The screen starts flashing. It stops flashing when the measurement is complete. The value displayed on the screen is the stylus pressure.
• The screen automatically dims to power-saving mode after 5 seconds of inactivity and switches off after 60 seconds of inactivity.
• If one battery is low, a LO indicator flashes on the screen. Then replace both batteries.
• The PCS button balances the count by calculating the average weight of one piece, called the unit weight, and applying it to the total weight you are trying to count. Weigh one piece first, then the bundle, then press the PCS key and the PCS count appears on the screen.
