5.3.1 Contact Points
Maxum III Indicator and Digital Transducer models having an
0.375 in / 9,5 mm diameter stem can use any regular 4-48
threaded indicator contact point. Metric Maxum III indicator and
Digital Transducer models having an 0.315 in / 8 mm diameter
stem use an M2.5 threaded contact point.
Many alternate contact points are available; refer to the appro-
priate Mahr Product Catalog.
It is recommended that wear on contacts be monitored and
changed when appropriately needed. Worn contacts can be a
cause for incorrect measured readings.
5.4 Calibration
NOTE: When calibrating, the indicator must be in its Standard
Mode, not Enhanced Mode.
