Auto on/off

To prolong battery life, the Readout has a built-in function that turns off the

Readout after a period of no movement or key activity. The Auto On/Off

function is programmable from 0 (always on), to 240 (minutes) before entering

sleep mode.

Press the

key or move the measurement system to wake up the

OFF

Readout. Any key press or system motion while the Readout is awake restarts

the Auto On/Off timer.

See Section 3: Readout Programming,

Programming Parameter Pr12.

Making Incremental Measurements

The Digital Readout has two measurement modes, or indexes. One is referred

to as ABS or Absolute, and the other as INC, or Incremental. The absolute

measurement mode allows the operator to read the current position of the Stop

referenced from a fixed or known position such as the saw blade.

The incremental mode allows the operator to make relative distance

measurements from one arbitrary point to another. The absolute position of

the Stop is not lost when using the incremental mode.

Absolute

The readout automatically enters ABS mode when power is first

applied. This is indicated by the ABS symbol in the upper left corner of the

display. While in the ABS mode, all fence positions are related to the current

ABS, or absolute system reference point, ie the blade.

Incremental

To enter the INC mode, press and hold the

key for

UNITS

approximately 3 seconds. The INC symbol will appear in the upper left corner

of the display. When the INC mode is entered the readout will display zero (0)

or the last offset if one was entered, and may be changed by using the

keys to provide a different offset. Moving the Stop in either direction will display

the distance moved from the initial INC starting point (plus any offset). To

complete another incremental measurement from the new position,

momentarily press the

key. The readout will again change to 0 (or the

UNITS

previously programmed offset). To return to the ABS mode, press and hold the

key for approximately 3 seconds.

UNITS

NOTES: When the readout is in incremental measuring mode the

key no

UNITS

longer functions to change the measurement units displayed.

The absolute position of the Stop is not lost when using the incremental mode.

When the readout is switched back to the absolute mode the readout reflects

the current Stop position relative to your original calibrated setting.
