Function Buttons

a) Scale Change Button Marked in/mm/F

This button enables the scale to be altered from:-

i) metric mm's to two places of decimal................. (mm)

ii) imperial to 3 ½ places of decimal (the ½ place will indicate 0.0005 if

measured) .......................(in)

iii) imperial to 1/64" ...........(F)

b) ABS Button

This button enables the reading to be 'split' and totalised.

e.g.

1. Set the pointer to zero.

2. Move the pointer. DRO reads 25mm

3. Press the ABS button. DRO reads 000

4. Move the pointer. DRO reads 20mm

5. Press the ABS button DRO reads 45mm

6. Press the ABS button again DRO reads 000

7. Move the pointer. DRO reads 15mm

8. Press the ABS button. DRO reads 60mm

The illustration is given in mm's, ABS works equally in imperial.

c) Hold Button

This button enables the reading to be 'frozen'. The DRO will retain this reading, (as an 'aide

memoire'?) until such time as the Hold button is pressed again. NOTE. The reading is not

held if the DRO switches off automatically.

d) ON/OFF Button

Self explanatory . In the event that you forget to 'switch off', the DRO is equipped with an

automatic function that will switch the device off after approximately 5mins if the gauge has

not been used during this period. Switching 'On' will return the gauge to its original settings.

(NOT c) The Hold Function. (See NOTE)

e) Zero Button

This button will set the DRO to 0000, at whatever position the pointer is, when the button is

pressed. The DRO will then read either positively (if the pointer is raised) or negatively

(if the pointer is lowered). NOTE Zero will remain at the position set, if automatic switch off

occurs and the DRO is turned on again.
