ProScale M150, M250 and all products with General Purpose LCD Digital Displays 6 of 6 SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction ProScale™ digital measuring systems are affordable precision electronic devices for making linear measurements with speed and accuracy. ProScale consists of a scale, a readhead (or encoder) and a digital display. It uses capacitive encoder technology, the same technology used in digital calipers. Because ProScale is a solid-state electronic device there's very little to wear out. The readhead and scale are designed to withstand shop dirt, dust, and other airborne contaminants, and the controls are sealed with a protective cover. With normal care, ProScale will last for years. ProScale is ideal for most measuring requirements up to 6m (20ft.) where high accuracy, 10 μm, (approximately .0005”) is not needed, but affordable repeatability, (better than a tape measure), or accuracy to 50 μm (.002”) is desired. Because ProScale shows the exact measurement on its display, it eliminates the guesswork involved in reading and interpreting tape measures, scales & pointer, or shaft encoders. It is compatible for retrofitting, or as original equipment, on most machinery or for any general purpose measurement application where data is collected (SPC, RS232, RS485) and/or digital accuracy and repeatability is desired. What This Manual Includes This manual includes information for: • ProScale Model 150 and Model 250 measurement systems with General Purpose LCD Digital Displays. • General Purpose LCD Digital Display operation instructions for other ProScale products (covered in separate manuals). • General Purpose LCD Digital Displays with Firmware V2.0 and higher.

ProScale M150, M250 and all products with General Purpose LCD Digital Displays 8 of 8 Incremental Style Pattern ProScale Terminology All ProScale systems consist of a SCALE, a READHEAD, and a DIGITAL DISPLAY. The SCALE consists of a series of conductive patterns bonded to an aluminum extrusion. The READHEAD, or encoder, contains a computer chip which transmits and receives signals to and from the scale using capacitive coupling. The received signal is used by the readhead to calculate its position to within 10 microns (10µm / .0004in). This position data is then sent to the digital DISPLAY, where it can be displayed in millimeters, centimeters, inches, or fractions and sent to an external data acquisition device. Each SCALE and READHEAD uses either Incremental or Absolute encoder technology. Absolute, (often referred to as ABS) systems use a more robust and sophisticated method to measure position, resulting in a high immunity to electrical interference and one that does not forget its position when power is removed. The type of system you have (absolute or incremental) may be determined by the pictures and descriptions on the following pages of this manual, by reviewing our web site, by the label on the packaging, or by contacting your supplier. Model 150 Absolute Technology Measuring System Usually measures 250mm (10”) or 450mm (18”) Model 250 Absolute Technology Measuring System Standard Sizes from 1.2m (4’) to 6m (20’) Model 100 Incremental Technology Measuring System (Discontinued 1999) Usually measures 250mm (10”) or 450mm (18”) Model 200 Incremental Technology Measuring System (Discontinued 1999) Standard Sizes from 1.2m (4’) to 6m (20’) Select ProScale Products ie. ProPanel, ProStop, ProKits etc. Absolute (ABS) Style Pattern
ProScale M150, M250 and all products with General Purpose LCD Digital Displays 9 of 9 Scales Absolute An (ABS) Absolute measuring technology system measures its actual position by reading a pattern which is unique at any given location over a segment length. The maximum length of a ProScale absolute segment is 430mm (16.932 in.). The segment must then repeat. Consider the illustration above to represent a ProScale approximately 50 inches long. There are three absolute segments joined together. Within each segment the system is absolute. However, crossing over a segment joint now presents the readhead with information identical to what it read in the previous segment. At this point the system must be able to recognize that it has crossed a joint and therefore must add or subtract the value of 1 segment: 430mm. In fact, each time the readhead passes over a joint it must keep track of how many segments it has passed, and in which direction. This action is accomplished by the digital display and is transparent to the operator. What does all this mean? If the readhead remains on the same absolute segment, it can have power removed, its position changed and power restored without loss of position information. However, if power is removed (readhead unplugged from Digital Display or batteries removed from Digital Display) and the readhead passes over a segment joint, the transition will not be recognized. When power is restored the system knows its absolute position on the new segment, but does not know how many segments it has passed, or in which direction. (Simply turning the digital display off does NOT constitute removing power. A small amount of power is still supplied to the readhead; only the LCD is turned off.) General purpose digital displays provide the operator with a method to adjust the segment offset so the system displays the correct reading at all times without loss of accuracy. See Section 4 for additional information on Segment Offset Adjustment. All Absolute (ABS) scales have a “zigzag” pattern on a green laminate. Take care to not damage the green coating. There should also be a pattern “SPLICE” approximately every 430mm (17in.). To shorten (ABS) scales. Call Accurate Technology for assistance, or visit: http://www.proscale.com/other/absscalecut.htm Absolute (ABS) Style Pattern
ProScale M150, M250 and all products with General Purpose LCD Digital Displays 10 of 10 Incremental Style Pattern 6.3mm (.25") 1.9mm (.07”) Incremental Simply stated, an Incremental system measures the distance it has traveled relative to a starting point. Incremental style scales have a repeating “bar” pattern on a green laminate. There should be a “SPLICE” approximately every 570mm (22in.). Incremental scales may be shortened if needed. Scales used on Absolute and Incremental systems should never be mixed. Avoid drilling through the green portion of any scale. Any portion of the green that is drilled will not operate. Shortening Scales http://www.proscale.com/support/faq.htm To shorten incremental scales follow these steps: The scale has stainless-steel wires pressed into the side that could be damaged if not cut properly. 1. Clamp the wires so they do not pull away from the extrusion. 2. Using a hacksaw, cut through the aluminum extrusion. 3. Use a file or sanding tool to chamfer the cut end to the specifications shown in the illustration. 4. Remove all burrs. 5. Test the shortened scale by sliding a readhead on. There should not be any binding. Wires Wires
