Reading of maximum and minimum values
In order to make the diameters measurement easier, especially when the instrument
is not easy to reach, the “Minimum Value” reading function has been developped:,
that shows on the display the minimum value detected by the instrument during the
measuring process. This function is activated by pressing the
button on the arm of
the instrument.
When measuring an outer diameter, in all measurements taken the minimum value
reached appears and “minimum” is displayed in the lower left. To exit this function,
press the
on the control panel.
It is possible, in the same way, to read the maximum value by activating the
“maximum” function. To access this feature, press the
button 3 times, until the in-
strument display shows the message “maximum” on the bottom left. To exit this fun-
ction, press the
button on the instrument arm.
MAINTENANCE AND PERIODIC CHECKS
The Archimede instrument does not requires special maintenance operations. It is
recommended, however, to proceed to the regular cleaning of the wheels and of the
central hub. You can easily clean it with compressed air or repeatedly applying and
removing a strip of
adhesive paper tape
in order to remove dust and metal chips that
may affect the support of the hub and thereby create measurement error.
To ensure good reliability and accurate measurements, it is recommended a
periodic
inspection
each 12 months. For any questions or information on the maintenance and
calibration of the instrument our technical department is available.
The “minimum value” function is to be
used when the instrument is used wi-
thout mechanical stops. With a slight
rotation of the instument (based on the
central hub), variable measurement are
obtained. The minimum diameter is the
exact value of the cylinder to be measu-
red.
