Hi Les, I would send it in to Whites and let them adjust & test it out It's comforting to know that you'll get it back with a "clean bill of health".

The Whites tech. know what there doing.

Thanks for your reply TC- NM I don't think it is a Techy job,it's the black plastic screw on the bottom of the meter which allows you to move the meter needle left or right to calibrate the meter.needle.

I have the meter needle set on zero,just want a little help from other Whites analog meter users, no mention of this in Whites user manuals.

Regards.

Les.

That is a 'mechanical zero' adjustment. To adjust it properly:

1. Turn you detector off
2. Hold your detector in the position you use for detecting.
3. Adjust the screw to move the meter needle to zero.
4. If your mechanical zero seems to fluctuate or drift, check to see if the plastic cover over the meter has developed a static charge.

leslie,
+1 .... What he said. It's a zero adjust ONLY.

If you've got VID/TID numbers off, that's probably due to ageing internal components, and can't be compensated for by simply shifting the zero point.

Thank you guys for your input,the meter is now set on zero, tests done with different metals are
all spot on, the analog meters are more honest than digital IMO.
Thanks again for helping out with the meter needle setting.

Regards.
