Ortofon DS-3 Stylus Pressure Gauge - SkyFi Exclusive

Ortofon DS-3 Stylus Pressure Gauge - SkyFi Exclusive

General:
The DS-3 is a new lightweight compact digital stylus pressure gauge model (precision made in Japan) by Ortofon.

This is a SkyFi exclusive item - only available from us. 

The DS-3 is ultra precision non-magnetic instrument that tunes your tonearm to the highest possible degree. The DS-3 scale is factory pre-calibrated for high accuracy measurements with the tolerance of +/-0.01 g, just right for tracking force measurements.  

The resolution is 0.01 which is also the right amount for the task at hand.  Dont be fooled by scales with a 0.001 resolutions, they are simply not that accurate and will have you chasing an unrealistic target.  

The side shelf allows you to take a measurement at the proper vertical position simulating the thickness of a record, which critical.  

The display is large and bright allowing even folks with compromised eye sight to get an accurate reading. 

We have tested many "Amazon" scales over the years and found most to be questionable.  Having the tracking force set incorrectly can damage records, create premature ware on the stylus and result in sub par audio performance.   

How to use the DS-3

• Turn on the device by pressing ON button. The display will show 0000.

• Press the UNIT button to select the measurement unit. The default setting is gram/g.

• Place the DS-3 scale on the turntable platter (no vinyl).

• Place the stylus on the measurement plate on the right side of the device. Display will start blinking. It will stop blinking when the measurement is completed. The value displayed on the screen is the stylus pressure.

• The display screen will automatically dim to saving mode after 5 seconds of inactivity and turn off after 60 seconds of inactivity.

• When a battery runs out, a LO indicator will flash on the screen. Replace both batteries.

• PCS button balances count by calculating the average weight of one piece-weight, called a unit weight, then applying it to the total weight of what you are trying to count. First, weigh one PC, then weigh the bundle, then push the PCS button and on the display you’ll get a number of PCS.
