2 GETTING STARTED

1. Place the foot on the glass slide provided, to ensure the tip is in the

same plane as the base of the foot.

2. Switch the unit on by pressing Control 1 lightly.

3. The unit will display '0.000mm' (or '0.0000"' if set to imperial).

4. Press the foot onto the blasted surface a number of times and allow the

tip to reach the bottom of the profile valleys.

5. The display will read peak to valley height in mm (0.001mm = 1µm).

6. To switch from metric (mm) to imperial (inches), press Control 2 once.

'MM' or 'INCH' is displayed in the bottom left hand corner of the

display. To change units press Control 2 lightly and then release.

7. To switch off, press Control 1 and hold for approximately 3 seconds. If

switched off, the instrument must be reset as above from 1, when next used.

DATA TRANSMISSION

The cable (Sales Part Number T22312213) is connected by removing the RS232 cover and inserting the

cable connector.

3 FEATURES

With the cable connected to the RS232 output, press Control 2, and hold until the Reference mode is

selected. Press Control 1 to transmit the current reading. If the cable is not connected, this operation will

freeze the reading in the display. (Pressing Control 1 again will release hold.)

OTHER FEATURES

This electronic measurement device has several features that are not normally used for profile

measurements as follows: -

Resolution

For profile measurement, resolution will normally be set to '0.000mm' or '0.0000". However, resolution of

0.01mm or 0.001" is available by pressing Controls 1 and 2 simultaneously, and holding until the decimal

point moves.

Polarity

For profile measurement, positive polarity is used and the display will show positive numbers relative to

zero. Polarity can be toggled positive to negative or negative to positive, by pressing Controls 1 and 2

simultaneously, and holding until the sign changes.

Reference Mode (Ref)

Two independent reference modes can be selected by pressing and holding Control 2 until 'Ref1' and 'Ref2'

appears in the top left hand side of the display.

To switch between 'Ref1' and 'Ref2' press Control 2 once.

Min/Max

This facility freezes minimum or maximum reading. To select the mode, press and hold Control 2 until 'Min'

and 'Max' appears at the top of the display. To clear, press and hold Control 2 until 'MM' or 'INCH' appears

in the bottom left hand corner of the display.

Preset & Measure

To preset size, go into Ref. mode and press and hold Control 2 until 'Preset' appears in the display and then

release Control 2. The display will show a series of zeroes. To set a preset value, each digit is changed in

turn as indicated by the cursor. Press Control 2 lightly to change the cursor position and use Control 1 to

adjust the value.

When the last digit is set, press and hold Control 1.

4 MAINTENANCE

Elcometer products are designed to give many years reliable service under normal operating and storage

conditions.

Changing the Battery

If the display shows 'B' in the bottom left hand corner, the battery should be changed.

A special tool for this is included with the battery.
