Hello, I bought a used Babolat RDC. It measures both weight and swing weight, but when the string bed is measured, all the missiles count 100 and the stiffness of frame of the 30-40. I think it needs calibration. I know how to get into the service mode. the test runs ok. Do you know anyone reset or calibrate babolat RDC? Thanks. Peter

There's a detailed manual on the USRSA Website under machine calibration. The only problem is it requires specialized calibration rods and other specialized tools.
When I pay trial membership for 1 month: https://www.racquettech.com/store/memberships/digital-trial.php
will I have access to the manuals for calibrating? Thanks

Unfortunately, I do not have calibration bars. Can they borrow or buy? I do not need them now, but I think I sometimes need them.

Re read your opening post. DT and RA measurements are defective or needs to be calibrated. This is not the same as calibrating the SW which requires the rods. Keep us posted in this thread. Not too many of us use the RDC or even have one, so your problems-fixes will be appreciated.
I do not know where you can obtain the calibration bars or if you can even buy them from Babolat. If you know their external dimensions, you could have a machinist make them.

I have a working RDC and homemade calibration bars
You can not buy these things anywhere.
I thought as my RDC works excellent I will build my own bars.
Press Password: 1991 or (1) (9) (9) (1)
Screen will show jump to "Values Choice" screen 23.
Press "ETAL" to get to screen 24 for calibrating your RDC Swingweight numbers.
The screen is divided into 3 rows, one for each rod value (252). (315), and (389).
Screen will display current values and their corresponding correction as stored in memory.

Thanks, Now I can already imagine what it is calibrations rods. It helped me a lot. The SW measurement is fine on my machine. My problem is on the left side of the machine: string deflection and frame deflection. String bed is is always 100, and frame deflection is from 20 to 30.
Would you know please help with the left side of Babolat RDC? (RA and BED stiffnes). Are you from Austria?
Thanks, Peter

This is a racket without bumberguard and end cap.
The lead weights are gradually mounted on the same racket.
Yes I'm from Austria .............
The prepared racket weighs 262.3g without bumberguard and basic and has a SW of 212.
If I screw the piece of lead (with screws) with 13,0g I come on the SW of 252. With the lead of 32,3g I get a SW of 315. With the lead of 53,9g I come to the SW of 389

Thank you for your response. When you prepared the weights, did you test it on another machine? Apparently, SW is not just about weight, but also about SW testing of a particular rocket. Excellent idea.
Can not you help me with the other side of the machine? DT and RA? I'm your big debtor.

I like to help if it is possible.
Just because I own a RDC does not mean that I can fix it. Unfortunately, I can not help you

Witam, mam problem z używanym RDC. Kupiłem używany RDC, który pokazuje poprawnie wszystkie parametry poza wagą. Waga rakiety powinna wynosić 300g, a pokazuje 270. Jeśli waży 320g, pokazuje maksymalnie 290, dodaj trochę dodatkowego obciążenia, jak owijka, zwiększy to wagę owijki. Drugie pytanie, jak zmienić ustawienie ze 110 na 240v, maszyna jest ustawiona na napięcie amerykańskie, a ja mieszkam w Europie... Kolejne pytanie, czy można zmienić RDC przy pomiarze napięcia z LBS na KG. Dzięki za odpowiedzi.
