MEASURING
The technician should have a clear understanding of the damage on the vehicle before starting to
use the GYSMETER measuring tool.
Being well informed and aware of specific structural damage to the vehicle beforehand will
highlight possible faults or inconsistencies in measurement values on data sheets at an early stage,
also incorrect mounting or measuring points selected by
When in doubt check this manual thoroughly, and if the problem persists, contact your GYSMETER
Mounting the magnetic holder
Make sure that the mounting points on both sides of the vehicle are in the right
location, and that they have been cleaned.
Select a suitable datum rod and snap on the magnetic adaptor on the ball at the
extremity. Check that the attachment is in the selected mounting position. Make sure
that the magnetic attachment is firmly positioned and that it is not loose.
Remove the magnetic holder with height calibration rod and mount it on the holder
at the rear end of the measuring arm. Use firm downward pressure to click the rod in
place.
Choosing the appropriate attachment
25-35: Use the smallest magnetic holder.
60: Use the biggest magnetic holder.
Length measuring
Before starting to measure it is important to calibrate the measuring arm. This is done by
compressing the arm completely altogether and pressing the ON/0 key until the display
switches off. With the measuring arm still compressed press the ON/0 key and the digital
number 900 (900mm) will appear. The measuring tool will now always start measuring from
900 mm. If during measuring operations any doubt exists about the operation of the
measuring arm, repeat the above procedure.
1. Read the height dimension given on the datasheet and select a suitable height measuring
rod and socket.
2. Push the height measuring rod and adaptor into the measuring tool and set it to the height
dimension given on the data sheet.
3. Mount the magnetic holder in the intended attachment point under the vehicle. Pull out
and adjust the measuring tool so that the selected measurement point can be reached.
It can be advantageous here to use the hold feature to freeze the measurement value,
especially if it is difficult to see the display while measuring. Press the HOLD key briefly to
freeze the measurement value. To return, press the HOLD key again briefly.
4. Read the measuring arm's display and compare the length measurement value with the
value on the data sheet. (No 1and 4)
It can be advantageous here to enter the measured value in the data sheet table in order to
create a before or after report.
Repeat the same procedure on the other side of the vehicle. Note that the vehicle can have
different measurement values for the right and left side.
