Adjusting the Wheel

The Celcon

®

polymer wheel can be

adjusted for each user’s preference.To
adjust the wheel,take a small,flat-head
jeweler’s screwdriver and slightly
rotate the screw located near the
wheel tip. Rotating the screw about
1/4 to 1/3 turn should be sufficient.
Rotating the screw within those two
values should adjust the wheel
between free spinning (which is too
loose) to skidding (which is too tight).

Imperial/Metric Modes

The Scale Master Classic is set up to
use Imperial (English) dimensional
units by default. The Scale Master
C l a s s i c can be set up to use Metric
scales by using the following se­q u e n c e :

1 ) Turn unit off via switch.
2 ) P ress and hold [ S u b t r a c t / C o u n t ] k e y.

3 ) Turn unit on via switch.
4 ) Release [ S u b t r a c t / C o u n t ] k e y.

While in Metric mode, M E T will re­main lit in the scale box.

Repeat the pro c e d u re above to
switch back to Imperial mode.

and millimeters (M M ) for Metric Mode.

If all custom scale settings are fi l l e d ,
you can ove r w rite an old scale with a

Common Questions

Q : The wheel on my Scale Master

feels a little too tight, can I
adjust it?

A : Yes! The wheel is specifi c a l ly

designed to “ a d j u s t ” to each user’s
fe e l .S i m p ly take a small, fl a t - h e a d
j ewe l e r ’s screw d ri v er and slightly
rotate the screw located near the
wheel tip. Rotating the wheel
about 1/4 to 1/3 turn should be
s u ffi c i e n t .Rotating the screw with­in those two values should adjust
the wheel between free spinning
( w h i ch is too loose) to skidding
( w h i ch is too tight).

Q : Once adjusted to my desire d

“feel,” will the wheel stay that

the feel of the Scale Master’s ro l l ,
you should expect your results to
be within ±1.5%– 2%.

A : While all users differ in the way

t h ey hold and roll the S c a l e

Q : I read it in the User’s Guide, but

could you simplify the setting
of a Custom Scale?

A : This is one of the most commonly -

a s ked questions.The Custom Scale
is pri m a ri ly used when you have
bl u e p rints that have been re d u c e d
or enlarged and are no longer tru e
to their printed “ s c a l e .” To set a
Custom Scale:

1 ) P ress [ M o d e ] until you re a ch

Custom (indicated by a small
“ C u s t o m ”l e gend on the left of
the display ) .

2 ) When Custom Mode is select-

e d , p ress [ S u b t r a c t / C o u n t ] a n d

[Scale] s i m u l t a n e o u s l y. T h e

main display will prompt you to
roll a known distance on yo u r
plans by displaying the wo rd

“R O L L”on the main display.

3 1 – User’s Guide

3 ) Roll a know n ,m a rked distance,

being careful of your start and
stop points. The display will

n ow ch a n ge from “R O L L” t o
“R O L L I N G .”

4 ) After yo u ’ve rolled in your dis-

t a n c e ,p ress the [ S c a l e ]button to
tell the device yo u ’re fi n i s h e d

ro l l i n g . The main display will
n ow look similar to this:

F T I N

The units of measurement a n ­nunciator will begin fl a s h i n g

(F T-I N for Imperial Mode, M M fo r
M e t ri c ) .

5 ) If you want to ch a n ge the units

of measure m e n t , p r ess [ M 1 + ]
until you re a ch the desire d

u n i t s .Then press [ S c a l e ] to begi n
setting the scale distance.If yo u

d o n ’t want to ch a n ge the units,
s i m p ly press [ S c a l e ].

6 ) N ow tell the Scale Master w h a t

that rolled distance was ( a c c o r d­ing to the plans),using [M1+] ( t o

a d vance the count of each
d i git) and [ S c a l e ] (to enter the

3 2 – Scale Master®C l a s s i c v 2 . 0

value for each digit and move to
the next digit to the ri g h t ) .P re s s

[ M o d e ] to move back one digi t .

If a digit is zero ,s i m p ly press the

[ S c a l e ] key to enter it.

7 ) A d vance through all displaye d

d i gi t s .C o n fi rm the scale entry

even when the unit is off.To ge t

n ew scale over it or perfo rm a

Q : When setting a Custom Scale,

the User’s Guide says some­thing about rolling a known
distance several times. What
does this mean?

A : S t a rting and stopping points are

e s p e c i a l ly critical to the accura c y
of all ro l l i n g .N ow h e re is this more
t rue than in the setting of a Custom
S c a l e .If you roll a known distance
o n ly once, you may roll it too short
or too long. By rolling a distance
s eve ral times, you can offset the
s t a rt/stop inaccuracies of each
gi ven ro l l .I t ’s equivalent to gi v i n g

the Scale Master an ave rage ro l l e d

length for the known distance.

When setting the Custom Scale,a n d

the unit displays “R O L L ,”you roll the

k n own distance seve ral times.

Since you don’t want the S c a l e

M a s t e r to re c o r d all the rolls as

being your one known distance,

you enter the known distance

times (multiplied by) the nu m b e r

of rolls — for ex a m p l e , if you roll a

10 foot distance fi ve times, yo u

must enter it as 50 fe e t .

Q : How long will the batteries last

and where may I obtain re -
