Turnable din calculations

So i was in the shop to get my bindings remounted and got the reciept or whatever. As i was looking at it and the reciept had a little bubble you fill in if the binding is a turnable (fks, which mine was).

my question is: what is it about turnable bindings that influence the din (higher or lower)?

 
im my expierence, you get more retention at the same din than most binders (elastic travel, not force it takes), but I dont see how it would affect how the shop delt with them.
 
Strange, I had to put my 155 heels much higher than I put my Tyrolia and Salomon S914 heels. I found that the 155 heels came off too easily(oh and they would always still be up when I got the ski back) when making big heavy turns in crud, and also in trenches while racing. With my Tyrolias I never had those problems, but they pretty much ended when I put the dins up on the 155s(while still coming off usually when I would want). I let my shop guys put my dins at whatever they are supposed to and change them myself since its so easy(on Tyrolias, I use a 9 in park on jumps(Pipe Cleaners), will be using about 11 on the LL2s(but this may change based on how I feel on larger cliffs with that) and not sure on the 170 WLs...but since I got a ski that short I know I will never be using them out of park and want them to come off when I screw up on little things, so maby 8).
 
sounds like the forward pressure is set wrong (or loosened up). id double check them
 
When ever I test FKSs at work, I find that they tend to need to have the dins turned down in order for them to test out correctly.
