2 TECH-D MEASURING TOOL
2.1 General description
TECH-D MEASURING TOOL
A lightweight telescoping digital measuring arm
made up of aluminum and composite materials
forms the main component of the tool.
In the rear end of the tool is an attachment for
height level rods. A quick release built accepts
the height level rods. On the ball of the rod,
snap on the magnetic attachment.
The housing of the digital 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 3 different lengths of
height measuring rods.
A level assembly is built into the top of the
housing of the digital unit, for identification of the
vehicle’s height divergences on symmetric
points, left and right side of the vehicle.
Measurement control buttons are located in the
front face of the digital unit. You can here
choose your way of measuring by pressing the
control buttons.
Inside the front face are most of the digital parts.
Also a battery compartment for the two AA
batteries with a consumption time of minimum
50 hours continuously use.

the measuring arm. Use this measuring area
preferably under hood.
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.
