ZERO/ABS Button
One short push (less than one second) of this button will zero the display at any point (some
call this the “incremental mode”). A long push (more than one second) of the button will return
the display to the original reading (some call this the “absolute mode”) and the letters “ABS” will
appear on the display.
SHIFT/SET Button
This is the button that gives great versatility to this tool. One push of this button will change the
function of the button to SET - it will change the function of the ZERO/ABS button to PRESET
and it will change the function of the In/mm button to LIMITS.
LIMITS Button
To install Limits, first press the SHIFT/SET button to get into the SET mode and the word “SET” will
appear. Next, press the LIMITS button to get into the LIMITS mode. “MIN LIMIT” will appear and
the previous minimum limit will be displayed. Press the SET button to allow the new minimum limit
to be installed. “LIMIT” is now flashing. Move the slide until the display shows the new minimum
limit to be installed. Finally, press the SET button to install the new limit. “LIMIT” stops flashing.
Now, press the LIMITS button again to change the display to the previous maximum limit. “MAX
LIMIT” will appear. Then press the SET button to allow the display to be changed. “LIMIT” is now
flashing. Move the slide to the new maximum limit reading and press the SET button to install the
reading. “LIMITS” stops flashing. Then press the LIMITS button again to use the limits mode and
once more to exit limits mode.
NOTE:
After installation, the limits will show “out of tolerance” by a flashing display.
To get out of the Limits mode, press the LIMITS button once. This will return you to the normal
measuring mode.
