3.10.1  Checking the bucket calibration

You need a reference point for checking calibration. Reference point must be stable to get reliable 
measurements.

Check calibration:

1. Place the bucket’s measurement point (blade) on a reference point (point marked with red 

in picture above) 

2. Press “Start depth and distance” button to reset the height and distance readings.
3. Turn the bucket (without tilting it sideways) to a different position (from position A to position

B) and keep bucket's measurement point on the same point.

4. Verify that the depth and distance readings are within ±1 cm compared the resetted (step 2)

values

Note!

It is important to test the accuracy of the bucket after calibration. If the accuracy is off
by more than ±1 cm, recalibrate the bucket. Double check measurements and 
perform also a plumbline calibration.
