Zero to 4mm gap
between H-PM back
pan and jig support
Figure 6. H-PM installed into the jig without HRMD assembly. A check should be made to ensure that the gap between the
H-PM back pan and jig vertical support is no more than 4mm.
7. Installation of HRMD
7.1 Install the HRMD unit with the backset and height probes pre-installed onto the H-PM
assembly as per HRMD User Manual ICBC 1999
7.2 Ensure that the plungers fitted to the centre locator fork on the HRMD are in good condition
and that they are tight enough to allow the fork to contact the rear surface of the H-PM weight hanger
support.
7.3 Level the HRMD head using the adjuster knob and the integral spirit level. Confirm that the
spirit level is accurate by checking that the rear surface of the head is vertical (± 0.3) with a
calibrated digital inclinometer. If not than adjust the head using the adjuster knob and digital
inclinometer until vertical. The integral spirit level should then be adjusted or replaced as appropriate.
7.4 Check the trueness of the head bubble level. Place a digital inclinometer on the rear surface of
the head and adjust the bubble to level using the screw. The bubble must not then be altered during the
remaining calibration procedure or during use.
