I. GAGE CONFIGURATION
Section I is a one time setup. After a successful gage configuration is finished there should be no need
to repeat section I. It is recommended to store a copy of the gage files onto a personal computer or
laptop. Consult the collector manual or, if purchased, the TranSend manual for further details.
Flush Setup
This configuration will produce a negative value for flush when the tip extends beyond the nominal
(master) point. To reverse the value enter -10 for “Scale” in step 9 & 10

It is recommended to assign a simple user name to the gage files such as; flush, margin, etc. This will
help to identify different gage setups.
4. To assign the gage file name, press ▲or ▼to highlight “G2”* in the “Gage List” and press
<enter> on the collector.
*G2 has the ability to support “sub files”. These are files that allow multiple styles or configurations of gages to be used by
the same collector. To create sub files highlight G2 and press ►►, this will create a sub file of G2a. Each press of ►►
creates another sub file. The balance of this instruction will be based on G2
5. Use the ▲, ►, ◄, or ▼to highlight the first character of the new file name then press <enter>, or
use the keypad on the 501 handset. Repeat the process until the gage file name is spelled. Then
press ►► to accept the new name.

both flush and gap at
the same time.
If the “Gage Port” is
set to “G2a” then the
“Master” needs to be
“G3a”

III. VERIFICATION OF THE MASTERING
This process can be performed to verify the mastering of the LMI 241-BWV2 before or after being
mastered. If any of the checks fail, the gage needs to be re-mastered.
Flush Verification
1. With the flush tip extended, observe the value in the “Master Gages” screen of “Gage Port G2” in
the collector.
2. Retract the flush tip, Observe the value in the “Master Gages” screen of “Gage Port G2” in the
collector.
3. Subtract the value of step 2 from step 1; the result needs to be 10.00 +/- 0.03. In this example, the
value of step 2 is 5.002 and the value of step 1 is -5.002, the result is 10.004. 5.002 - (-
5.002) = 10.004, remember if you subtract a negative number from a value you are actually adding
the value to the first number.
4. Insert the gage into the “Test” side master
block and observe the value in the
“Master Gages” screen of “Gage Port G2”
in the collector. The “Value” on screen
needs to read -2.00mm +/- 0.03mm.

Gap Verification
5. Press ►►on the keypad of the collector to change the display from G2 to G3.
6. With the gap peg extended, observe the
value in the “Master Gages” screen of
“Gage Port G3” in the collector.
7. Retract the gap finger; observe the
value in the “Master Gages” screen of
“Gage Port G3b” in the collector.
8. Subtract the results of step 7 from step 6; the result must be 10.00mm +/- 0.03mm. This example
step 7 is 1.802 and step 6 is 11.802, the result is 10.000. 11.802 - 1.802 = 10.000
9. Insert the gage into the master block
and observe the value in the “Master
Gages” screen of “Gage Port G3” in
the collector. It must be 6.00 +/-
0.03mm.
