Tentelometer T2-H15-U

[jblmar]

I have the above guage, but can only find information for the T2-H15-UM. My guage has the ball bearing middle post.
Anyone have experience with the 15U? I'm not sure if this model requires calibration.
Thanks for your input.

Any used model should be calibrated. You don't know where it's been!

Here's the instructions:

Any info you want you can get from Tentel. They are still actively in busness and very helpful.

Thank you both.
I have this page, but I see that calibration is for the fixed post models only. I have the T2-H15-U with the rotating center post.

You'll be fine following those instructions. The ones with rollers don't strictly need to be calibrated with a moving tape load, but it won't harm. And yours only has one roller anyway I think, so there will still be some value in calibrating it that way.

Or contact Tentel and ask them.

Yeah, as has already been stated you use the same calibration method with any tentelometer... attach the weight to a length of the type of tape you'll be using and adjust it as you pull the tape through until the meter agrees with the weight. Tentel made a lot of models over the years and many of them are no longer mentioned on their site. But since the calibration procedure is the same it really doesn't matter which one you have.

Thanks for the info.
I'll try to get ahold of the 1 oz. weight from Tentel.
