Introduction
The Rega Atlas Tracking Force Gauge is designed to provide reliable and accurate
measurement of tracking force for the lifetime of your turntable. Inside the durable
aluminium casework is a highly stable loadcell and precision amplification circuitry.
There is also a custom designed front guard to protect the measuring element and provide
easy alignment. This allows the Atlas to achieve accurate and reliable performance with
minimal input from the user.
Operation
A 9V battery must be installed upon first use. The battery compartment is located on the
bottom of the unit. If the battery is low, "Bat" will show on the display.
To operate, first switch the power on via the rocker switch located on the back panel.
The display will light up, first showing 8.88 and then 0.00. The display will then switch off,
however, the power indicator will remain illuminated green. When the indicator is green, the
gauge is ready to use. If a weight is placed on the measurement pad, the display will activate
and display the measured force. If the indicator illuminates red, this indicates 45 seconds
have elapsed without the Atlas detecting any weight and the device has gone into sleep
mode to conserve battery. To wake the Atlas from sleep mode, simple press the 'zero/wake'
button on the top panel. The gauge will re-zero itself and go back to an active state where
the display is off but the power indicator illuminates green.
Once ready to measure tracking force remove your platter mat, zero the anti-skate/bias, and
lower the tonearm queuing device. Place the Atlas on the platter such that the edge of the
front guard aligns with the edge of the platter, as shown.
To ensure the accuracy of the measurement, re-zero the gauge by pressing the 'zero/wake'
button on the top panel once the gauge has been placed on the turntable if possible. If
any part of your turntable is suspended, the gauge may need to be re-zeroed on a hard, flat
surface and then transferred to the platter (the gauge can be kept from entering a sleep
state by keeping a weight on the measurement pad). Also, ensure that there are no fibrous
materials or other obstructions underneath the measurement arm.
Once the Atlas is on the platter and ready to measure, simply lift the tonearm using the
finger lift and gently place it down so that the stylus makes contact with the centre of the
measurement pad. After a brief settling time of approximately three seconds, the tracking
weight should be shown as a stable reading.
After finishing measurement, simply switch off the Atlas with the rocker switch on the back.
Store in a dry, temperate area, ensuring the pad will not be at risk from errant snags and
other accidental damage.
