13.2 The counter does not “beep” when taking a reading
If it doesn’t beep this means the counter does not know
where the bottom is therefore does not record the “plonk”.
Check Resolution
The counter can become un-
calibrated if it receives a knock
and the cog jumps a notch on the
metal shaft.
Zero calibrate. See section 8.
If the calibration fails to hold
then the potentiometer, which
the cog drives through the
shaft is probably faulty and will
need replacing. This can occur
with excessive wear often
compounded by dust and dirt
entering the dry bearing. You
will need to send the counter
to Platemeters for service and
repair
