4 Measuring principle

If you wish to measure the roughness

of the surface, place the meter on the

surface to be measured. The meter

will move the sensor over the surface

to capture its structure. Through

displacement of the measuring

needle, an induction coil in the sensor

will be changed. The resulting analogue signal will directly be amplified. These amplified signals

will be collected by the meter and then filtered and converted by the DSP chip. The converted

readings can then be viewed on the LCD and processed.

5.3 Hidden buttons on the touch screen

There are three hidden buttons on the touch screen. They have the following functions:

Start measurement Profile zoom Display all measuring functions

5.4 Recharging the battery

As soon as the display shows a flat battery icon, the battery is discharged and should be

recharged as soon as possible. To charge the meter, you can use the included charger or you

can charge it directly via your computer. If you want to use a different charger, it should fulfil the

following specifications:

Output: 5 V / 1000 mA

After connecting the charger, a charging animation will be displayed. The battery is fully charged

when the animation stops. Charging takes approx. 5 hours.

Important:

The battery is only charged if the ON/OFF switch is “ON“.

5.5 Connecting the sensor to the drive unit

Before connecting the sensor to the drive unit or removing it, make sure the meter is turned off.

2. Motorised sensor bracket

3. Drive unit

To connect the sensor to the drive unit, hold the sensor body and move it into the drive unit as

described in the picture. To release the sensor, hold the sensor body tightly and pull it back out.

Important:

The sensor is the main part of the measuring system and needs special care. Do not touch the

probe tip. The sensor must only be used when it is installed in the meter. When no measurement

is made, place the sensor back in its packaging to avoid damage. If you want to use a new sensor,

the sensor must be adjusted to the meter.

5.6 Connecting the drive unit to the main device

1. Insert the drive unit into the main device according to the picture until it is attached

firmly onto the pin on the inside.

2. Now push down the drive unit so that it can snap into place.

5.7 Removing the drive unit from the main device

1. To remove the drive unit from the main device, first unsnap the drive unit.

2. Then lift the tip of the drive unit.

3. Pull out the drive unit.

5.8 Using the extension cable

When the drive unit is not connected to the

display, use the included extension cable as

shown in the picture.
