Calibration

Check and correct your machine’s tension with a digital calibrator. Choose your machine for the video and the step-by-step guide.

Calibrate your CybeX

CybeX has a built-in sensor calibration routine. You need a digital tension calibrator and a few minutes.

Before you start: make sure your calibration setup is secure, and follow the instructions on the screen and in the video carefully.

Need a calibrator? Pro Stringer Calibrator

Step by step

  1. Attach your digital calibrator to the mounting system with a length of the string you normally use, routed as if you were pulling the first main. Turn the calibrator on and zero it.
  2. On the CybeX touchscreen, tap the gear icon, then the double-arrow button to open Settings page 2.
  3. Scroll down to Sensor calibration and touch and hold the Calibration button. The tension calibration screen opens.
  4. Read each step on the screen. At the zero step, touch the button while nothing pulls on the sensor; a beep confirms the sensor is zeroed.
  5. Pull tension against the calibrator. As the string stretches, the calibrator reading slowly drops: press the top button the moment it matches the number on the CybeX screen.
  6. Go back to the home screen and check a few tensions, for example 41, 51 and 61 lb. If the machine and the calibrator do not match, run the calibration again.

Calibrate your Platinum 3.0

Check what your Platinum 3.0 actually pulls with a digital calibrator, then set the tension sticker on the dial to match.

Setting up to check calibration

Platinum 3.0 has no calibration menu: you check its pull against a calibrator and set the dial sticker to match.

For the tension dial and the reset button, watch the Tension Adjustment & Reset Button guide in the Platinum Learning Center. Need a calibrator? Pro Stringer Calibrator

Step by step

  1. Hook the calibrator onto the throat support of your mounting system before you mount the racquet. The Pro Stringer Calibrator attaches with its rope.
  2. Mount the racquet. Tie a piece of the string you normally use to the calibrator hook, long enough to pass through the head as if you were pulling the first main.
  3. Turn the calibrator on and zero it.
  4. Set the tension dial to about halfway, insert the string into the tension head and pull tension.
  5. When the machine reaches tension, count to three and read the calibrator. The reading keeps dropping after that because the string stretches; the machine is still holding its set tension.
  6. Set the tension sticker on the dial to the reading you took at three seconds, then pull once more to confirm.

ModuleX-2 or ModuleX-6: what’s the difference?

Choose the frame support that suits your setup. The mounting system is separate from the tensioning machine: select only a configuration offered for your product and sport.

  • ModuleX-2 · side pull
    ModuleX-2 · side pull
  • ModuleX-6 · 6 support points
    ModuleX-6 · 6 support points
  • ModuleX-6 · frame support
    ModuleX-6 · frame support

Start with the support you need. The modular system allows compatible cross bars and supports to be added later. Changing from X6 to X2 requires the correct head support. Contact the team to confirm conversion parts.

  • ModuleX-2

    The lightest setup to travel with.

  • ModuleX-6

    Additional head and throat support.

ModuleX is compatible with CybeX and Platinum 3.0, not Platinum 1.0 or 2.0. For badminton and squash, ModuleX-6 is converted to a four-point configuration. Follow the guide for your racquet and use the required sport-specific clamps and adapters.
