11.2 Speed and Distance Calibration
Mark-10 recommends verification of speed and distance accuracy once per year. Note that no
adjustments may be made. Calibration is offered by Mark-10, as well as certain distributors and third-
party laboratories.
11.3 Test Frame Deflection Compensation
Load cells within force sensors deflect under load. Test frames also deflect under load, affecting the
accuracy of distance measurements. Series F test frames, Series FS05 force sensors, and Series R07
force sensors are compensated at the factory.
However, to account for additional deflection within grips or fixtures associated with the test, IntelliMESUR
provides a utility for further compensation.
1. Install the necessary grips and fixtures. Using Manual Control, move the grips or fixtures close
together until they are almost touching.
2. Select Deflection Compensation from the Settings screen. The screen appears as follows:
3. Configure the direction, tension or compression, then set the target load.
4. Create a new deflection compensation file, or overwrite a previously saved file, by browsing to the
desired file location.
5. Select Run. IntelliMESUR will indicate when the compensation is complete.
6. The saved deflection compensation file may now be associated with any test, as described in
previous sections.
