2 Allvis Measuring System
2.1 General Description
Allvis Electronic Measuring System
A lightweight telescoping electronic measuring arm made up of
aluminum and composite materials forms the main component
of the system.
A quick release socket built into the rear end of the telescoping
arm accepts any one of six snap-in height calibration rods – rod
numbers A to F.
A socket located on the inside of the self-centering magnet
allows it to be snapped onto the ball of any one of the height
calibration rods.
The housing of the electronic control unit with digital display
located on the front end of the arm incorporates an easy to
operate twist-lock socket for each of the 4 different lengths of
datum height rods.
An adjustable rotating datum height level assembly is built into
the top of the housing of the electronic control unit. Level
adjustment is by thumb wheel.
Measurement control buttons are located on the front face of
the electronic control unit and a battery compartment for the
two AA batteries is built in to the lower part of the housing.
Distance measurements from center of the rear calibrated rod
holder to center of the front datum height rod holder is
generated by electronic impulses produced by a rotating wheel
inside the arm.
For operating instructions - refer to item numbers 2.2 to 2.10

2.2 Display Functions
Start the Measuring System
NOTE! Make sure the telescoping measuring arm is
completely collapsed.
Start the display by pressing shortly on the button. A
digital number 900 (900 mm) will appear in the display window
representing the start length of the tool (from the center of
the chassis attachment to the center of the measuring tip).
Important!
If display does not read 900 – switch off by holding down the
button for a few seconds and restart following the above
procedure.
Normal Position
This is the automatic position on the measuring tool after
starting it. Working area of the tool is now 900-2650 mm.
Comparative Measuring
The digital reading can be reset for quick comparative checks
during normal length measuring operations by briefly pushing
the button to select 0 mm. From this point any change in
length will register plus or minus in 1 mm gradients. Additional
comparative checking is possible by repeating the above
procedure at any time during comparative checking.
To resume normal length measuring i.e. 900-2650 mm settings,
simply depress the button < 1 second.

3. Adjust the display by pressing until short
measures is stated. (See Display functions.)
4. Length and cross measuring can now be carried out
easily and with high measuring accuracy.
Briefly depress this button to reset functions for longitudinal
co-ordinate measurements – when using other generic vehicle
dimension data on the market, see 5.1 Measuring without
datasheet.
Save a Measuring Value
With this button you hold a measuring value on the display
until you press the button again.
Light Level
Hold the button until you reach wanted light level on the
display.
ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
The display will automatically shut down after 5 minutes and
be energized again at the slightest movement of the measuring
