PRECAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
e Dust, dirt and other foreign obstacles should be
wiped clean from the base, scriber, column of the
height gage and the surface plate, before measure-
ment.
e Do not expose the height gage to cutting fluids,
water, dust, dirt and hot draft etc.
e Be sure to turn off the power after using.
e Cover the height gage by the dust cover after using
with its slider lowered but not to touch the surface
plate by the scriber.
e When the height gage is not on service for a long
time take the following measure.
- Take out the batteries.
- Remove the scriber and apply a grease to the
base and ihe scriber holding face.
- Apply an anti-corrosiveoil to the columns.
- Dust, dirt etc.on the rack on the column should
be totally removed by tooth brush and the like.

Mitutoyo Digimatic height gage (HDM)is an LCD dis-
play type of digital height gage having various fea-
tures: it has two measuring systems,
ABS (absolute)
and INC (incremental) ineither of which you can use
zero set function, hold function and preset function
according to the measuring requirements and for lay-
out job as well. Furthermore, it has data output
capability for statistical data processing by
Mitutoyo's Digimatic Mini-Processor such as DP-1,
DP-2and so on.
Also possible to use with a height gage is
a Mitutoyo's
touch signal probe specially developed to increase
efficiency of measurement by height gage.
Please go through this operation manual to make the
best use of your height gage.

2. 4 ABS and INC measuring systems
The Digimatic height gage
HDM has two measuring
systems,
ABS (absolute) and INC (incremental), for
selective use according to measuring requirements.
A
mode sign, ABS or I NC, comes upon the display to
show in which mode the gage
is servicing. Outline of
each mode
is shown below.
I) ABS mode
When the height gage is turned on, ABS sign comes
upon the display together with zero indication
(0.OOmm or 0.0000 in.), showing that the current
slider position (or scriber position) is determined
as
origin (absolutezero)

3. 1 Measurement
A workpiece such as shown below is measured for
dimensions
A, B, C, and D using the preset and hold
functions.
*A 50mm(2") gauge block is used for origin setting
by preset function.
Circled figure shows the scriber position and related opera-
tion step.

r Operatingprocedures
1 ) Origin setting
Turn on the power by pressing the key at
any desired height of the scriber.
@ Move up the slider until the display shows 50.00
mm (2.0000 in) exactly, that is the size of the
gauge block.
@ Press the IHOLD] key. ( H sign comes on.)
@ Hitthemkey. ( P sign blinks.)
@ Move down the slider and have the scriber set on
the gauge block.
@ Hitthe key and 50.00mm(2.0000 in) is pre-
set on the display.
( P sign disappears.)
Now,the origin
is set inABS system.
2) Measurement of A, B, C, and D inthis order
Set the scriber on the surface (a) and press the
key. The display holds the value A.
@ Displacethe height gage to an easy-to-readdisplay
positionand take reading. (ValueA in HOLD)
Press the key to release the hold state.
Displayshows current scriber position.

Preset of
a desired value is possible in the following
two ways.
(1 ) Preset by usingcounting function
Preset is possible in
a manner already described for
origin setting
: move the slider unitladesired value is
shown upon the display and have it preset.

(2) Preset by setting
a desired value with themkey
Value for each place of digit and
- sign can be set by
hittingthe
lpRE] key when the display is in preset
mode set by the key. The placeof digit to which
you can set
a value is indicated by a blinkingcursor.
When you keep pressing the key after setting a
desired digit in place
is over, blinking shifts to the
lower placeof digit.

2) Hold of displayedvalue and release
Hold of displayed value
is possible by pressing the
key in either of ABS or
INC mode. As long as
the display holds the value,
H sign is given on the dis-
play. To release from the holdsstate, press the
/HOLD/
key again.
In hold state, the display will not change its indica-
tion even when the slider is moved although count-
ing
is made inside. So, when released from the hold
state by theBkey, the display shows the current
position of the scriber or slider.

tion,as described in section
3. 2.
(2) In INC system
Pressing themkey in ABS mode turns the display
into INC mode while resetting the display to zero. In
INC mode, you can reset the INC system to zero
(floatingzero) by pressing the
IZERO] key at any desired
position.
Pressing themkeywhen
