Readout issues
The Digital Readout will not function properly or display numbers correctly unless the cable is connected to
both the display and sensor. Do not install the batteries or turn it on until everything is properly connected.
NOTE: If you purchase a different length Cat 5E cable to use make sure that it is a shielded style
noted by the metal encased plug.
Unstable constantly scrolling numbers
•
Insure the sensor is properly installed on the scale.
•
Remove the battery, wait 30 seconds and replace it.
Flashing digits, dim, or no display
•
Install new batteries.
•
Clean batteries and battery contacts.
Frozen display
•
Remove the battery, wait 30 seconds and replace it.
Loses calibration
•
Make sure that your machine is properly grounded.
•
Route the cable away from electric motors or other electrical controls.
•
Check for dirt on the scale or inside the sensor. Remove and clean if needed.
•
Check for static discharges from a nearby dust collector or other source
Note: If a static discharge from your finger zaps the readout or a nearby dust collector
happens to zap your machine it can cause this error. Make sure the dust collector is properly
grounded and the dust port on your saw is grounded to the ground wire inside the dust
collector hose.
Accuracy Issues
Small accuracy errors of 1/16” or less
•
Check for loose or flexing brackets.
•
Make sure that the scale is perpendicular to the top plate in all planes.
Large accuracy errors of .200” or more
•
An error of exactly .200" is a very common error number with these devices or even a multiple of
it like .400, .600, 1.200 etc. Usually this only happens when the readout is either moved very
quickly (more than 3 feet per second). Follow the same steps outlined in the “Loses calibration”
section above.
