1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Electromatic dial gauge can be used as a replacement for mechanical dial gauges,
thanks to external dimensions conforming to the various standards for this type of
instrument. The functions of the Electromatic dial gauge are as follows:

• change units mm/inch

• change zero point for any probe position

• enter a reference value other than 0.000 mm (preset)

• possibility of measuring with two different references

• store measurement (display hold)

• transmission of measurement to a statistical processing system

The dial gauge has three operating modes, which are selected by pressing the [mode]
button for more than 1 second. The functions of each mode are activated by momen­tarily depressing (< 1 sec) the [set] or [mode] buttons.

The Electromatic dial gauge is equipped with an OPTO-RS compatible data output.
