Step-by-Step Guide to Using the DIN Calculator

Introduction

The DIN Calculator is a tool designed to assist skiers in determining the appropriate DIN settings for their ski bindings. This setting is crucial for safety and performance on the slopes. By following this guide, you will learn how to effectively input the required data into the calculator and obtain your DIN setting.

Step 1: Input Skier’s Weight

  • Locate the Skier Weight (kg) input field.
  • Enter the skier’s weight in kilograms. The minimum allowable weight is 10 kg, and the maximum is 200 kg.
  • Ensure the input value is within the allowed range before proceeding.

Step 2: Input Skier’s Height

  • Find the Skier Height (cm) field.
  • Input the skier’s height in centimeters. Acceptable values range from 100 cm to 250 cm.
  • Double-check that the height falls within the permissible limits.

Step 3: Input Boot Sole Length

  • Navigate to the Boot Sole Length (mm) field.
  • Enter the boot sole length in millimeters. Valid entries range from 200 mm to 400 mm.
  • Verify the input to ensure it is within the specified range.

Step 4: Select Age Group

  • Go to the Age Group dropdown menu.
  • Select the appropriate age group for the skier. The options are:
    • 8 years or younger
    • 9-10 years
    • 11+ years

Step 5: Select Skier Type

  • Locate the Skier Type dropdown menu.
  • Choose the type that best represents the skier’s skiing style:
    • Type I (Cautious)
    • Type II (Moderate)
    • Type III (Aggressive)
  • This selection will affect the DIN setting calculation.

Step 6: Calculate and Review Results

  • Once all inputs are provided, the calculator will generate results.
  • Check the generated Skier Code. This code is part of the DIN setting formula.
  • Review the calculated DIN Setting. This number reflects the binding release tension.
  • Look at any Warning Message issued. Warnings appear if weight or height are outside the recommended range.

Conclusion

By accurately following the steps outlined above, you can determine a safe and accurate DIN setting. Remember, these settings are essential for your safety and comfort when skiing. Always double-check your inputs for accuracy.
