Calibration

Once installed, Digi-Stop can be calibrated easily and quickly. The following is
an example of calibrating Digi-Stop on a cutoff saw application.
installations follow the same general procedure.
1.
Cut a small part (approximately 8 inches) using the stop. DO NOT
MOVE THE STOP UNTIL THIS PROCEDURE IS COMPLETED.
2.
Measure the length of the part with the most precise measuring tool
you have available (preferably digital calipers).
3.
Press the
(PLUS) key to change the displayed reading until the length you just
measured is shown (The longer the
readout will scroll). This adjustment should be made in a decimal
(inches or mm) mode for the best accuracy.
4.
When the correct reading is reached, lock the readout if desired. This
prevents accidentally re-zeroing during normal use.
See Section 3: Readout Lock Mode

Maintenance

The fence extrusion should be cleaned of debris periodically. Do not use any
liquid lubricants on the scale, as this may impede the encoder's ability to
operate properly and attract other contaminants to the scale.
If the stop becomes difficult to move, and the fence and scale have both been
cleaned, the plastic wing may need adjustment:
a.
Position the wing to hold the locking mechanism of the stop in the
center of the extrusion slot.
b.
The position of the wing can be adjusted after removing the plastic
guide clip and loosening the socket
screws (using a 3/16" hex wrench)
which sandwich the wing between
the stop and the aluminum block.
The wing is adjusted properly when the weight of the stop is supported
by the wing and the locking mechanism does not rub on the extrusion.
The readout should be cleaned periodically with compressed air to remove
any dust on the lens and keys. All fasteners should occasionally be checked
for tightness.
