Operation
Visual Inspection
Inspect all connectors carefully before each use. If a connector shows deep scratches, dents, uneven wear, or par-
ticles clinging to the mating plane surfaces, clean it and inspect again. Damaged connectors should be set aside
for repair. Also, try to determine the cause of the damage before making further connections.
Cleaning
Use dry compressed air of a very low velocity rst; then a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol. Clean the contacting
surfaces using a lint free swab. Then re-inspect the connector to make sure that no bers have been left around the
contact and mating surface.
CAUTION: For optimum measurements, never rotate parts against each other since this will yield faulty readings
and could damage the mating surfaces.
Verifying Zero Setting
The gage assemblies are pre-set at the factory for zero setting, however, the user should verify the zero setting prior
to each use as follows.
NOTE: The master setting gage is marked 'M' (male) and 'F' (female) to correspond to the 'M' and 'F' marked on
the indicator assemblies.
Procedure: Refer to Figure 3
Example for Zeroing Male Connector Shown (Applies Equally to Female Connector Gage)
1. Visually inspect the mating surfaces of your connector gage and master setting gage.
2. Clean both mating surfaces using the cleaning procedure above.
3. Align the connector gage and master setting gage. Carefully engage the master gage with the dial indicator
until the master gage seats securely. The dial hand should rotate clockwise and stop at zero after one or
more revolutions.
4. If resetting zero is required, engage the master gage, then while holding the dial indicator and master gage in
one hand, loosen the dial lock and rotate the bezel (outside rim on indicator) to the zero position indicated
by the hands on the indicator. Re-tighten the dial lock.
