Instrucciones de funcionamiento

  1. Ajuste cero:
    • Bring the stylus into contact with the reference surface or workpiece.
    • Rotate the outer bezel of the dial until the "0" mark aligns with the indicator needle.
  2. Medición:
    • Move the indicator across the surface to be measured. The stylus will deflect, and the needle will move on the dial.
    • Read the deviation from the zero point on the dial. Each major division represents 0.005 inches, and each minor division represents 0.0005 inches.
    • The indicator features automatic reversal, meaning it can measure in both directions without needing to adjust the stylus.
  3. Interpretación de lecturas: The dial typically reads 0-15-0, indicating movement in either direction from the zero point.

Mantenimiento

  • Limpieza: After each use, wipe the indicator body and stylus with a clean, soft cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or internal components.
  • Almacenamiento: Store the indicator in its original fitted case when not in use to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
  • Lubricación: The internal jeweled movements are designed for smooth operation and generally do not require user lubrication. If the movement feels stiff, consult a qualified technician.
  • Inspección: Regularly inspect the stylus for wear or damage. A worn stylus can affect measurement accuracy.
  • Calibración: While the indicator comes with a calibration certificate, periodic re-calibration by a certified laboratory is recommended for applications requiring the highest levels of accuracy.
