This chapter explains the product's characteristics, part names and functions, basic operations, and
the settings that must be configured prior to measurement.
1.1
This product is a measuring instrument that makes measurements by vertically moving a part called
a probe into contact with a specific point, and calculating the height of that point. Because the
measurements are obtained from the probe's position, this product can measure the inner diameter of
holes and the outer diameter of cylinders as well.

Basic Operations
1.3.1 Turning On the Power
Press on the upper right of the LCD screen to turn on the power.
1.3.2 Moving the Probe
Turn the probe up/down wheel right and left to move the probe up and down, respectively. When
bringing the probe into contact with the workpiece or surface plate, be sure to move the probe slowly.
The probe can be moved slowly by pulling out and turning the probe fine adjustment knob.

1.3.3 Moving the Main Unit
When moving the main unit on the surface plate, grab the base with your right hand and the carrier
grip with your left hand.
For QMH-600B/QMH-350B/QMH-24"B/QMH-14"B, pressing the air-float switch on the tip of the carrier
grip causes air to make the main unit float, allowing you to move it smoothly above the surface plate.
NOTE
NOTE
Do not move the product by grabbing parts other than the base or carrier grip. Doing so can negatively
affect measurement accuracy and the product itself.
If using the air-float function:
• Measuring with the air-float function active can cause measurement errors.
• Clean the surface plate in advance.
• Use a surface plate of Class JIS1 or higher. If the surface plate is scratched or uneven, the specified
performance may not be achieved.
• Use a rigid surface plate. If the surface plate warps under the weight of the product, the product
may not float.

NOTE
The airflow has been adjusted to provide optimal performance before shipment. We recommend
using the default settings as much as possible.
When adjusting the air-float flow:
• Due to the characteristics of the air-float mechanism, variations in airflow may cause the main unit
to vibrate. In this case, reduce the airflow.
• If you adjust the airflow, make sure that the friction between the surface plate and the main unit is
reduced before use.

Preparing Measurements
1.4.1 Origin Setup
Set the origin to use when measuring height. The dimensions measured from this origin will become
the height measurements. This product is compatible with both ABS and INC origins. Use one or the
other based on the application.
yABS origin
This method uses a user-defined value as the origin. When measuring the height from the surface
plate, set the surface plate as the origin point with a value of 0 mm.
Example: The surface plate is set as the origin at 0 mm.

measurement relative
to the surface plate
