ProScale M150, M250 and all products with General Purpose LCD Digital Displays 11 of 11 Readheads Absolute Absolute (ABS) style readheads have “BLACK END OF SCALE” labels on the cover, and the wire exits from the corner of the housing. Care must be taken not to damage the brass “fingers” inside the readhead housing. ABS style readheads, used in all Model 150 and Model 250 systems, must only be used on ABS scales and with a particular orientation. Each readhead has an arrow on the label pointing in the direction of the “BLACK END OF SCALE”. Each ABS style scale will have one end painted black. This relationship is very important, since the readhead will work, but produce erratic results if installed backwards. To insure proper operation, be sure the arrow on the readhead is pointing toward the BLACK end of the scale. The standard ABS readhead has 3m (10 ft.) of cable. For special cable lengths, contact Accurate Technology, Inc. Standard ABS Readhead is supplied with a 3m (10ft) cable OLD Part # 701-1510-001, NEW Part # 701-1500-120 Incremental Incremental style readheads do not have labels on the cover, and the wire exits from the center of the housing. Care must be taken not to damage the brass “fingers” inside the readhead housing. Incremental readheads work on incremental scales ONLY. Orientation of incremental readheads on the scale is not important. Incremental readheads are still used on some current Accurate Technology products such as: ProStop, ProKit, Measuring Kits, ProCaliper, and ProPanel. Standard Incremental Readhead is supplied with a 300mm (12in) cable Old Part # 701-1002-002, NEW Part # 701-1500-N12 Avoid making extension cables. If a different cable length is required, contact Accurate Technology, Inc. Readheads used on Absolute and Incremental systems should never be mixed.

Following is an example for calibrating ProScale on an industrial wide belt sander. Other installations follow the same general procedure. 1. Check to be sure installation of all parts is complete, all fasteners are secure, and the readhead is plugged into the digital display. 2. Set-up the machine to operate as normal. Run a part through the sander. 3. Measure the thickness of the sanded part with the most precise measuring tool available (digital calipers if possible). 4. Press the zero key on the ProScale digital display then press and hold the PLUS key to scroll until the thickness measurement is displayed (The longer the PLUS key is held down, the faster the display will scroll). 5. When the proper reading is reached, lock the display if desired. This prevents accidentally re-zeroing of the display. See Section 4: Lock Mode . If the direction of movement (+ and -) on the digital display is opposite the desired direction, the display programming should be changed. See Section 4: Programming (Programming Parameter Pr0). Maintenance Although the ProScale will operate in a dry environment of non-conductive debris such as sawdust, the system should be cleaned of excess debris when necessary. This will prevent premature damage to the scale or readhead. Should the scale become difficult to move, check to see if debris has built up under the readhead and remove if necessary. Find and remove any burrs which may have developed on the aluminum scale. Do not use any liquid lubricants on the scale assembly, as this may impede the readhead's ability to operate properly and will attract other contaminants to the scale. The Digital Display should be cleaned periodically with compressed air to remove any dust on the lens and keys. All mounting fasteners should be checked occasionally for tightness . ProScale M150, M250 and all products with General Purpose LCD Digital Displays 18 of 18 S ECTION 3 P RO S CALE M ODEL 250 ProScale Model 250 A General Purpose measuring system with nine standard measuring ranges from 0-300mm (12in.) up to 0-6m (20ft.). Model 250 systems use ABS style scales, ABS style readheads, and any of the available digital displays. Neither the scale nor readhead are compatible with any Accurate Technology incremental technology measuring systems. ProScale Model 250 is easy to install. By following the basics of good installation, reliable, error-free operation is assured. ProScale M250 can be used in many different measurement applications, and with numerous types and brands of equipment.

Note: If a custom kit was ordered which contains instructions for installing ProScale on a specific product, follow those instructions rather than the general instructions here. ProScale Model 250 shown with Panel Mount General Purpose LCD Display ProScale M150, M250 and all products with General Purpose LCD Digital Displays 19 of 19 Guide Clip Installation 1. Note the orientation of the readhead on the scale. Be sure the arrow on the readhead points towards the “BLACK END OF SCALE” . This orientation is critical for proper operation of ProScale. Be sure the mounting location for the readhead and scale will allow this orientation. Take care when sliding the readhead onto the scale so the brass “fingers” inside the readhead do not get damaged. (A slight “wiggling” motion when installing the readhead on the scale will simplify the process.) 2. Determine an appropriate mounting location for the system. Most applications of the Model 250 will have the scale held stationary while the readhead is moved along the scale. However, the ProScale will read correctly if the readhead is moved along the scale or if the scale is moved through the readhead. 3. When the scale is stationary and the readhead moves to measure, you should use the Guide Clip to move the readhead along the scale (see figures on next page). Mount the scale using M4 (or #8) screws. Be sure the screw heads do not protrude above the surface of the extrusion. Check that the scale is properly aligned as the readhead is moved over its length (the Guide Clip will compensate for slight misalignment). Adjust scale alignment if necessary. For accurate measurements, the guide clip must be mounted perpendicular to the direction of travel of the readhead. The guide clip should exert some pressure over the full range of travel on the readhead so the two move as a single unit. Note: Failure to use the guide clip could void the warranty . 4. The Digital Display may be mounted in a location which allows for easy viewing by the operator. The location of all parts should also safeguard the cable from possible damage. ProScale wiring should be kept away from electrical wiring and motors. Plug the readhead into the display. See Section 4: Digital Display Operation Note: If any other mounting method is used, observe the following: A. Do not drill through the green portion of the scale at any point over which the readhead will travel. B. Do not mount the scale so the mounting hardware interferes with the movement …

ProScale M150, M250 and all products with General Purpose LCD Digital Displays 21 of 21 Calibration Once installed, ProScale can be calibrated easily and quickly. Following is an example for calibrating ProScale on a table saw fence. Other installations follow the same general procedure. 1. Check to be sure installation of all parts is complete, all fasteners are secure, and the readhead is plugged into the digital display. 2. Cut a part using the normal fence operation. 3. Do Not move fence until calibration is completed. 4. Measure the dimension of the part with the most precise measuring tool available (i.e. digital calipers). 5. Press the zero key on the ProScale digital display then press and hold the PLUS key to scroll until the measurement you just made is displayed. (The longer the PLUS key is held down, the faster the display will scroll). 6. When the proper reading is reached, lock the display if desired. This prevents accidentally re-zeroing of the display.

ProScale M150, M250 and all products with General Purpose LCD Digital Displays 26 of 26 ON/OFF Momentarily pressing the ON/OFF key will cause the display to turn on or off. The Firmware Version is displayed on power-up or when ON/OFF key is pressed. While on, if no key presses or positional changes occur within 15 minutes, the Digital Display will automatically turn itself off to conserve battery life. While off, if a position change is detected (.05mm or .002in) or the ON/OFF button is pressed, the display will automatically turn itself on with no loss of measurement information. (Programming Parameter Pr8. Factory default set to 15 minutes.) Battery voltage is displayed by pressing and holding the ON/OFF key for 5 seconds while display is turned on. CAUTION: Pressing and holding the ON/OFF and MODE key for 10 seconds while the display is turned off will perform a full segment LCD test AND re-set all programming parameters to factory defaults MODE The digital display can show measurement information in Imperial or Metric. To change the current display mode, momentarily press the MODE key. With each key press the display will cycle through decimal inches, fractional inches (1/16), (1/32), (1/64) (If enabled by Programming Parameter Pr6 ) and metric (mm or cm based on setting of Programming Parameter Pr5 ). When the display is in a decimal mode (mm, cm or in) it will auto-range to the next resolution if the value is displayable in the next range . This allows the display to be used with Mitutoyo Digimatic® products in inch mode or different resolutions other than 2 decimal places. When the display is in 1/16 or 1/32 inch fraction mode, a series of “bars” in the upper right corner of the LCD each represent an additional 1/64th of an inch measurement. ie. When in 1/16 inch mode and three bars are showing, the measurement displayed is rounded down to closest 1/16 inch and each illuminated bar indicates an additional 1/64 of an inch (“heavy”) measurement. For better resolution switch to 1/32 or 1/64 fraction mode. For the best resolution switch to a decimal mode. When the measurement is greater than + 99 63/64 inches, a +100 or +200 will show in the upper right portion of the LCD to indicate this amount must be added to the displayed reading. ie: if the measurement is 154 5/8 inches, 54 5/8 and +100 will be displayed on the LCD. If the measurement is -307 23/64 inches - 7 23/64 , +100 and +200 will be displayed on the LCD. The Resolution of the display can be set for Normal; (.01mm or .001in), Reduced ; (.1mm or .01in) or Increased ; (.01mm or .0005in) (Programming Parameter Pr4.) ProScale M150, M250 and all products with General Purpose LCD Digital Displays 27 of 27 +, 0, and – Keys The + (plus), 0 (zero) and – (minus) keys are used to change the currently displayed position to a different value. The 0 key forces the unit to display 0. Momentarily depressing the + key increments the current position by one unit of measurement. Momentarily depressing the – key decrements the current position by one unit. Pressing and holding the + or – keys will cause the displayed position to change continuously. Holding down the key will cause the amount of change to speed up. This allows for quick adjustments over a range of large values. These keys can be “locked out” to prevent accidental offset or zero entries. (See Programming Parameter Pr3) Digital Display Functions Lock Mode The user can “lock-out” the position offset adjustment functions (+, -, 0 keys) to prevent accidental changes of the current displayed position. To activate the lock mode, press and hold the ON/OFF key and then momentarily press the MODE key. The word LOCK on the LCD display will turn on or off with each lock/unlock operation. When the LOCK symbol is displayed, the +, - and 0 keys will not change the displayed position. On Displays with an auxiliary keypad: ABS and INC modes have independent lock operations. (See Programming Parameter Pr3. Factory default is Enabled.) Segment Offset Adjustment For scales that are longer than 430mm (17 inches), multiple scale pattern segments are installed end-to-end on the aluminum extrusion. This provides a quasi-absolute measurement capability in which the readhead can calculate its position on any individual scale segment but cannot determine which particular segment it is on. To solve this problem, the Digital Display tracks which scale segment the readhead is on by detecting the “splice” between one segment and adjacent segments. In certain situations, the crossing from one segment to another may not be detected by the display. This may occur if the readhead is disconnected from the digital display and then moved along the scale to another segment. It may also occur if the readhead is moved too quickly between two segments. (Maximum slew rate is 400mm/sec, 15in/sec) If the segment tracking count is incorrect because of one of the above situations, the user can re-adjust the display to correct the error. This adjustment is referred to as the Segment Offset Adjustment . To add one segment value (430.08mm) to the displayed value, hold the MODE key and then momentarily press the + key. The displayed position will increase by 430.08mm (16.933 inches). To subtract one encoder segment from the displayed value, press and hold the MODE key and then momentarily press the - key. The displayed position will decrease by 430.08mm. (See Programming Parameter Pr1 and SCALES in Section 1 of this manual for additional information. Factory Default is set to Enable this function.) ProScale M150, M250 and all products with General Purpose LCD Digital Displays 28 of 28 Offset Addition Offset addition allows the user to preset up to 3 different distances that are then added to the Digital Displays position when selected. This allows the user to quickly switch measurement modes from one reference point to another such as in the case of inside and outside measurements on ProPanel or multiple stations on a vertical p…
