1 MAIN FEATURES
The TESA-Hite Magna 400 / 700 is a mains-independent height gauge, which is suitable for
measuring lengths in the form of external, internal, step, height, depth and distance dimensions. A
cast-iron base with finish-ground supporting face ensures the stability of the TESA-Hite Magna
400 / 700. A rigid column is located under the protective cover, equipped with a guide system that is
straight. On this slides the measuring head and the movement of the head is measured by the
magnetic measuring system magna
µ
system (TESA patent). The measured readings are obtained in a
very simple and reliable manner. Firstly the probe is brought into contact with the point to be
measured then immobilised to permit it to stabilise; then, by performing a further slight rotation of
the drive system, the measured reading is automatically recorded by a dynamic process, with the
measuring force at all times remaining constant. An acoustic signal confirms that the reading has
been recorded and it is immediately displayed and, if required, transmitted via the RS 232 output.
Cylindrical surfaces (bores and shafts) can also be measured simply and reliably by automatically
probing to find the culminating point. The automatic microprocessor assisted correction makes the
TESA-Hite Magna 400 / 700 even more accurate: Correction values memorised in the instrument
compensate for systematic errors when measuring lengths.

The TESA-Hite Magna 400/700 is delivered ex factory, packed to protect it from impact and corrosion.
Please use the original packing materials for any subsequent transport.
IMPORTANT:
Your instrument is supplied with a 6V rechargeable battery already inserted. For recharging the
battery, see section 7.2.
Before fitting the standard accessories, release the measuring carriage by unscrewing the light grey
knurled screw (10) Fig. 1 on the hand wheel.
Securely fit the probe 5 to the probe-fixing arm 4 itself fitted to the mounting pin 3. Ensure that the
two knurled screws on the probe-fixing arm are well tightened.
After, unlock the measuring head by moving the slide downward until the insert touch the granite
plate; exert a force on the handwheel, like if you would do a probing down; this will unlock the
transport carriage from the measuring carriage.
However, we recommend you firstly read this instruction manual.
