with a standard calibration block, before measurement,
instruments to test the block. Under normal circumstances,
when the measured value and the block value of the
difference in the acceptable range, the measurement value is
valid, can be measured directly.
If the measured value and the block value of the difference is
greater than a accuracy error range of the instrument, or the
user require high accuracy, can be used to correct the
indication calibration function and improve measurement
accuracy. Showing the value of the calibration procedure as

Options and Usage

Adjustable support
When measured surface of part is smaller than the bottom surface
of the instrument, sheath of pickup and adjustable supporter of
instrument options can be used for auxiliary support to complete
the measurement (as shown in Figure).
Extending Rod
Extending rod increases the depth for pickup to enter the
part. Length of extending rod is 50mm.

Standard probe
Most of the standard probe, it can measure most of the plane,
inclined plane, cone surface, inner hole, groove and other
surface roughness, can be hand-held measurement, in
addition to the standard probe, other special probes are
needed to measure the measuring platform.

Measurement Stand
Measurement Stand can adjust the positions between tester and
measured part conveniently with flexible and stable operation and
wider application range. Roughness of complex shapes can also be
measured. Measurement stand enable the adjustment of the
position of stylus to be more precise and measurement to be more
stable. If Ra value of measured surface is relatively low, Using
measurement platform is recommended.

Small hole probe Technical Parameter and Features
Using Small hole probe pickup, the inner surfaces of holes with
radius more than 2mm can be measured. Refer to the following 1 Technical Parameter
Figure for detailed dimension.

Deep Groove probe

With deep groove probe, it is possible to measure groove with
width wider than 3mm and depth deeper than 10mm, or the
surface roughness of step with height less than 10mm, Also
can used to measure the planar, cylindrical used with
platform. please see figure for detailed dimension.

 2 Measuring Range Main Unit
Pay attention to maintaining the Main Unit surface clean, often
with a soft dry cloth to clean its surface.
The instrument is a precision measuring instrument, should
always be handled with care, to avoid the shock.

Battery
Always observe the battery prompt, when the low voltage,
please charge.
The charging time is 3 hours, try not to long time charge.
Standard Sample Plate
The surface of a standard sample plate must be kept clean. To
avoid scratches on the surface of sample area.
Troubleshooting
When the tester breaks down, handle the troubles according to
General Maintenance measures described on Fault Information. If troubles still exist,
please return the instrument to factory for repair. Users should not
probe dismantle and repair the device by themselves. Returned

The probe's precision components, any knock, touch, fall off
phenomenon may damage the probe, should try to avoid such
situations.
The probe is a damageable parts, do not belong to the scope of
warranty parts, only provide repair. In order not to affect the
measurement work, users are advised to buy backup probe used
for emergency.
