OLYMPIC AUTO-LENGTH

Operation

Display

The Auto-Length’s display provides three measurement readings in
the upper half of the display screen (

Fig. 2H

).  Messages appearing

in the lower half of the display screen show the Auto-Length’s status,
and prompt the operator. Common prompts include:

„

READY:

Indicates that power is on and the Auto-Length is ready

to measure.

„

RECALL:

Appears below the last measurements recalled from

memory.

„

CALIB:

Indicates that the Auto-Length is in its calibration mode.

„

LOW BATTERY:

Indicates the Auto-Length’s batteries are de-

pleted and should be recharged (see

 

also 

Replacing the Battery

Pack

 on page 3-1). Measurements cannot be made while the

“Low Battery” message appears.

„

ERROR:

Appears when the measuring bar jams against an

immovable obstacle and the motor stalls.

„

BAR JAMMED:

Appears if the measuring bar  is pushed past

the rest position.

„

RECALIBRATE:

Appears in the upper half of the display if the

device requires calibration. “RECALIBRATE” shows until the
Auto-Length is placed into calibration mode, and the device will
not measure until it has been calibrated (see 

Calibration

 on

page 1-8).
