Section 1 General Information
1.0 Caution
• Remember, only charge your Indicator when the battery symbol is shown on
the display.
• Avoid extreme temperatures, direct sunlight or below freezing for extended periods.
• Avoid dropping the Indicator. Avoid shocks to the contact point and spindle. Do not
apply any radial force to the spindle.
• If the indicator is stem-mounted, protect the indicator from being struck or bumped
to prevent stem/case mechanical alignment damage.
• Do not over-tighten the mounting mechanism and use clamp mounting rather then set
screws, if possible, to prevent damage to the spindle.
• Frequently clean the spindle using a dry cloth or a chamois to prevent sluggish or
sticky movement. Isopropyl alcohol may be used to remove gummy deposits on metallic
parts. Do not apply any type of lubricant to the spindle and do not use solvents.
• Avoid any disassembly or modification of the indicator, other than what is outlined
in “Accessories”.
• Avoid using anything that might damage the buttons when pressing the buttons.
• Use the appropriate gage stand or indicator holder for the job intended.
1.1 Basic Operating Instructions
1. Turn on your tool, check the lower left of the display to see if the battery
symbol is showing, Fig.1A. If the battery symbol is showing then go to the
“Rechargeable Battery Care and Maintenance” section. If there is no battery
symbol visible then the battery is charged.
2. Lightly clean the contact point.
3. Fasten the indicator into the appropriate holding device.
4. You can turn the indicator on by pressing any button.
5. If applicable, pick the unit of measure, inch or millimeter by pressing the
IN/mm
button. Note: standard metric indicators do not have this function available.
6. Place the indicator perpendicular to the reference surface being measured. Allow
enough movement to be able to take a higher or lower measurement.
Note: This is one
of many possible ways to use the tool.
7.
Zero Sequence: Zero the tool by pressing the ZERO Button. When you press the
ZERO button the display will show a dashed line as seen in (Fig.1B). The dashed line will
incrementally disappear from left to right (Fig.1C); Make sure not to move the spindle
during this time. This is a visual reminder to wait for the tool to zero out. This will happen
each time the tool is zeroed, and takes less than a second to complete.
8. Lift the spindle to remove the reference surface, and carefully place the piece to
be measured under the spindle making contact with the surface. The value measured
on the display will be the difference between the reference and the measured piece.
9. The indicator can be turned off by pressing and holding the
ON/OFF button for 3
seconds.
Note: the unit will automatically enter sleep mode in 30 minutes, if left unattended.
