    In addition it has the following special features:
     
  • There is no Balance knob as the needle is brought to 'SET' by the exclusive auto-rebalancing electronics. This occurs very rapidly because of the Unique Natural Needle Response.
    		•
    It is unique and natural because Ability Meter needle movements are specially manufactured to our specifications and form the heart of our unrivalled and highly acclaimed Natural Needle Response. The fast movement of the needle instantly and accurately reflects what is actually happening within the mind of the subject with no inertial 'swings' of the needle.
    This response can only be achieved by using specially manufactured, high quality needle movements. Attempts to artificially simulate the same response by electronic means result in unnatural needle responses which do not fully correspond to what is happening in the client's mind.
     
  • The Balance position is shown on a large LED display
    		•
    There are also digital displays of the total count of Balance changes in a session and of the Time. Sensitivity can be adjusted to suit the subject. The use of modern electronics means that the Ability Meter will provide years of reliable operation with no necessity for re-calibration after manufacture, e.g. with changes in ambient temperature.
     
  • Manual Mode
    		•
    There is a pushbutton switch on each side of the meter so that the needle can be brought to SET using either hand. There is also a remote plug-in switch which can be used as a footswitch. These switches can be operated silently and move the needle to the SET position in a fraction of a second, when the needle has gone off either end of the dial.
     
  • Automatic Mode
    		•
    In this mode the meter detects when the needle has gone off the dial and generates an automatic needle SET. The manual pushbuttons, however, remain operational. A red indicator lamp in the middle of the dial illuminates whenever a needle SET is activated, eliminating any confusion between a genuine Reading and a meter-generated rebalancing movement.
    Due to the automatic design of this Ability Meter, it can be used equally well for left or right-handed clients
    Once you have used an Automatic Ability Meter you won't want to go back to a non-automatic meter - Our customers say this!!
     
     
    Some of the many advantages of this Meter:
     
  • Since the needle is brought to SET rapidly (automatic rebalancing), there is little chance of missing Reads (instant needle responses), which may occur if one has to adjust the Balance manually or if the needle moves right off the dial.
    		•
     
  • The meter demands much less attention from the user, either solo or with a client. For example, when assessing a list, the user can SET the needle at the beginning of the question without even looking at the dial and know that it will be ready to catch the Read which may occur at the end of the question.
    		•
     
  • The ease with which the needle can be SET, particularly using the footswitch or in automatic mode, is a great asset to the solo user of this equipment.

    Special New Features:
     
  • New circuitry in the Ability Meter Model 3a overcomes the problem of a drop in sensitivity at high Balance settings.
    		•
     
  • This Ability Meter 3a, unlike other meters, is very economical to use, as it runs on only two AA non re-chargeable cells, lasting in the region of 1200 hours, which are available almost anywhere! These batteries can easily be replaced without opening the case and there is a low battery indicator in addition to the usual battery indication on the dial. If you forget to turn the meter off - no problem - it will turn itself off automatically if not used for 30 minutes.
    		•
     
  • The Needle Movement counter (previously an option) is now included as a standard feature. This facility provides an alternative more accurate method of counting the total of Balance Action (a.k.a. TA) on the basis of the amount of rebalancing required during a session.
    		•
     
  • The Ability Meter 3a is hand made in one-off production with absolutely no compromise in the high quality of construction and the components used.
