MTG-99 Hall Effect Gages
43
For this example, assume you’re using a 3/16
target ball with a range from 0.0001 to
0.360”. If you turn on alarm high-low you will first need to enter the high value. Enter
0.300 inches and press the
MENU/OK
key.
Next you will need to enter the low value , enter 0.100 inches. The display will ask you to
enter the percent reading of the high-low. The gage will default to 20% (this can be
changed with the up or down arrow keys), so any reading within 20% of the high value
(approaching high, between 0.240" and 0.299" as 0.240" is within the 20% range of
0.300") will result in the yellow keypad illuminating. Also, any reading above the low
value of 0.101" and 0.120" will result in the yellow
F2
key illuminating as you approach
the minimum.
In
Alarm
mode, choosing a non-zero percent value provides a warning for readings that
approach the selected percent value of the high or low limits. For example, if the alarm
value is 0.100" and 20% is entered as the “percent value,” reading from 0.101" to 0.120"
will result in the
F2
“yellow” key being illuminated. Also, reading less than 0.100" will
result in the
F1
“Red” key being illuminated and greater than 0.120" will result in the
F3
“Green” key being illuminated.
Vibrating Alarm Display
The vibrating alarm, noted with a
bell icon
and two curved lines to the right of
the gage
display, can be enabled with varying alarms and alarm conditions. The Vibrating alarm
will use the conditions set above and will vibrate the gage upon alarm condition when
turned on. Unlike the other features in this section, vibration is not turned on in the
measurements menu
and instead is found in the
initial settings menu.
