DP II
e DP II offers special features for flexible use and
versatile operation.e user can decide how to work with
the caliper based on the current work situation.e DP
II computer terminal is both a stand-alone device and can
be assembled and used with the moveable handle. In this
mode, the DP II will look like and work similar to a tradi-
tional computer caliper.
Computer Terminal
e DP II computer termi-
nal includes the necessary
interfaces such as high visibility display, five-button keypad,
USB port, serial port, loudspeaker, Bluetooth® and radio
communication. Data is stored in the
built-in industrial SD card with high
security and extra protected to sustain
cold, heat and hard impacts.
Computer Terminal excl. Serial Port
For operators that have no need for
special accessories or serial com-
munication, the DP II computer
terminal can be special ordered
excluding the serial port.e unit
weight and size will be less without
the serial port.
2 System Description
Detachable Computer Terminal
e DP II Computer Terminal can be detached from the
movable handle and the SmartScale.is is practical for
example when transferring data to your office PC.
When performing tree inventory in dense tree stands with
thick and low branches, it can be difficult to reach the mea-
suring point. e DP II Computer can be removed from
the SmartScale and jaws and placed inside your vest or
jacket pocket, worn on your wrist with the wrist holder ac-
cessory or placed at a distance from you.e DP II Smart-
Scale will in such cases look and work similar to a manual/
mechanical caliper with its low weight and simple opera-
tion, but carries all advantages expected from a computer
caliper. For the remote operation, the SmartScale has to be
factory ordered and equipped with a Radio Enter button.
e computer terminal communicates wirelessly with the
SmartScale measuring system at distances up to 10 meters.
e remote Radio Enter button replaces the mechanical
enter button on the movable handle.

Smart Scale contains the measuring system, a battery and
radio transmitter.e radio uses the ISM band on 2.4GHz.
e Smart Scale is synchronized with the computer ter-
minal and can after synchronization exclusively send data
to this specific terminal. If either of these units (the Smart
Scale or the computer terminal) are changed, a new syn-
chronization has to be performed, see chapter Computer
Terminal.e Smart Scale is available in the following
lengths: 500mm, 650mm, 800mm, 950mm, 1020mm, 18”,
24”, 36”, 40”

Rechargeable Batteries - Environmental Concern
Both the SmartScale measuring system and the computer
terminal in the DP II use rechargeable Li-ion batteries.
Fully charged, the batteries will last for approximately one
week depending on application used.e batteries are
charged through the USB ports with the USB adapter and
a mini USB cable that can be connected to a PC or to an
external USB charger.
Charging the SmartScale
Connect the DP II USB adapter with the mini USB cable
and USB charger, PC or USB car charger to the Smart-
Scale according to the image.e charging time is approxi-
mately 3 hours.
A LED indicator lights up when charging the Smart-
Scale. When the LED light blinks, it is time to charge the
battery.e indicator goes out when the battery is fully
charged.
e computer terminal will warn when measuring if the
DP II SmartScale has low battery capacity.
Foldable Jaws
e measuring scale has foldable jaws that can be locked in
position.To fold the jaw, push the lock up and fold accord-
ing to image below. Move the handle to the side as far as
possible. Both jaws are locked in position and to each other
along the scale.
How to adjust jaws angle
e Smart Scale angle of the jaws may need to be adjusted
after some time of use.e right and left jaw are adjusted
with a 2 mm Allen Key according to the image below.

Calibration
e SmartScale will normally not need calibration. Make
it a habit to check the displayed diameter to be identical to
the scale featured diameter measure (or calibration guide).
If there are divergences, (+-1mm) the SmartScale needs to
be calibrated.
Preferably use a calibration guide as described below:
Go to SETTINGS menu and then to CALIBRATION.
1. Place the movable jaw at 0 cm and press ENTER
2. Place the movable jaw at 500 mm (18 inches) and press
ENTER.e caliper is calibrated.
If the calibration failed, check the following:
Error code -1: Hardware error. Try recalibrating.
Error code -2: Not correctly calibrated. Recalibrate.
Error code -3: Measuring System disturbances. Try recali-
brating.
Error code -4: No radio contact. Try to redo the synchroniza-
tion between the SmartScale and the Computer Terminal
process.
Angle Measuring
e computer terminal contains an inclinometer that can
be used to measure angles and to calculate heights.e
Gator Eyes laser pointers accessories are recommended to
use as aim.e Gator Eyes are factory assembled on the
caliper jaws (specify on order!) and consist from two pow-
erful green laser pointers visible at long range and used to
measure diameters from a distance and/or as aiming guides
when measuring angles and heights. Remember that the
use of laser pointers can be restricted in your area! Always
treat and use laser pointers with care and consideration.
Always check local restrictions and guidelines before using
green laser. For information and instructions for the Gator
Eyes, see separate user guide and product sheets.
Handle lock
e movable handle on the scale can be locked if moved
toward the the fixed jaw. is is practical when carrying the
caliper in the handle and in other transport situations.To
unlock the handle, press the button-like part on one of the
jaws on the underside of the caliper, and at the same time
gently press the handle to the side. e locking function
(one or both locks) can be removed if preferred.
Adjusting the Handle
Use a 2mm Allen Key to adjust the handle.e handle has
built-in sliders to avoid too easy run.
