dial down

English to French Tech/Engineering Medical: Instruments Medizinische Instrumente
it is a good idea always to dial down to set the desired volume.

Discussion

Tony M Oct 9, 2007:
There is a vital point here that none of the answers so far has addressed, though it is mentioned in Isabelle's first 2 refs. — the specific idea is to set the dial to too high a volumen, and then reduce it to the exact point, for greatest accuracy

What is the context?

Proposed translations

Selected

diminuer (le volume, la temperature)

Selon le cas, ici le volume. Litteralement, cela veut dire "tourner le bouton vers le bas".

Does it have to do with pipetting liquids? I found this which may help:

When setting the pipette volume always turn the plunger counterclockwise until the volume indicator is 1/3 of a revolution above the desired setting, then slowly turn the plunger clockwise to the desired setting. Always dial down to the desired number. This prevents mechanical backlash from affecting accuracy.

and this one:

Hold the pipette in one hand. With the other hand turn the volume adjustment knob until the required volume shows on the digital indicator. If you pass the desired setting, turn the dial a couple of revolutions above the desired setting and reset the volume. Always DIAL DOWN to the desired volume for maximum accuracy.

Toujours sur l'idee de la pipette... je suis peut-etre a cote de la question, mais voici les instructions en francais:

Régler le volume : tourner la molette ou le bouton poussoir (dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre pour diminuer le volume, dans le sens inverse pour l'augmenter) :
- pour obtenir une valeur inférieure au volume initialement affiché à l'écran, venir lentement au volume souhaité en s'assurant de ne pas le dépasser.
- lorsque le volume à régler est supérieur au volume initialement affiché, dépasser d'un tiers de tour la valeur désirée et revenir à celle-ci en s'assurant de ne pas dépasser le volume souhaité.

=to lower (the volume)=diminuer/reduire

I am surprised because 'dial down" is not that much used in med

English term (edited): dial down to

tourner le bouton vers le bas

The sense is "dans un premier temps, régler le bouton pour un volume trop important, puis ajuster au volume exact en le tournant dans le sens pour diminuer, afin d'arriver au volume souhaité avec plus de précision"
