• True Inch/Millimeter Conversion: Seamless switching between imperial and metric units.
• High Accuracy: 0.0002 inch / 0.005 mm.
• 7 Control Keys: On/Off, Direction (Dir), Inch/mm, Tolerance (Tol), Set, Absolute (ABS), and Range.
• Easy Reading Adjustment: Standard or reverse reading options.
• Flat Back Design: For stable mounting.
• Standard Stem Diameter: 8 mm.
• Battery Operated: Uses one SR44/1.5V button battery.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the electronic indicator from its fitted case. Inspect the device for any signs of damage during transit.
2. Battery Installation:
   • Locate the battery compartment cover, typically on the back or side of the unit.
   • Open the cover and insert one SR44/1.5V button battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
   • Close the battery compartment cover securely.
3. Mounting: The indicator features an 8 mm stem. Mount the indicator securely into a suitable stand or fixture using the stem. Ensure the mounting is rigid to prevent measurement errors.
4. Initial Power On: Press the O/ON/OFF button to turn on the device. The display should illuminate and show a reading.

Operating Instructions

Button Functions:

• O/ON/OFF: Powers the unit on or off.
• DIR (Direction): Changes the measurement direction (e.g., positive or negative reading for increasing/decreasing values).
• in/mm: Toggles between inch and millimeter measurement units.
• TOL (Tolerance): Used for setting tolerance limits for Go/No-Go gauging. Refer to advanced operation for detailed setup.
• SET: Sets the current position to zero or a specific reference value.
• ABS (Absolute): Switches between absolute and incremental measurement modes. In absolute mode, measurements are relative to a fixed zero point. In incremental mode, measurements are relative to the last set zero point.
• RANGE: May be used to select different measurement ranges or resolutions if applicable (check specific model features).

Basic Measurement Steps:

1. Power On: Press the O/ON/OFF button.
2. Select Units: Press the in/mm button to choose your desired unit (inches or millimeters).
3. Zero Setting:
   • Position the measuring probe against your reference surface or workpiece.
   • Press the SET button to zero the display at this position.
4. Take Measurement: Move the probe to the point you wish to measure. The display will show the deviation from your set zero point.
5. Change Direction (Optional): If the reading direction is not as desired, press the DIR button to reverse it.
6. Absolute/Incremental Mode (Optional): Use the ABS button to switch between absolute and incremental measurements as needed for your application.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the indicator body and probe with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth after each use. For stubborn dirt, a cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.
• Storage: Store the indicator in its original fitted case when not in use to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage. Store in a dry environment at room temperature.
• Battery Replacement: When the display becomes dim or erratic, replace the SR44/1.5V button battery. Ensure the device is off before replacing the battery.
• Calibration: For critical applications, periodic calibration by a qualified technician is recommended to maintain accuracy.
• Avoid Impact: Do not drop or subject the indicator to strong impacts, as this can damage the precision internal components.
