The Presidium Electronic Gem Gauge utilizes
capacitance measurement in which the capacitance IC
output the change in capacitance of two sliding plates into
binary values and nally being converted by equations
in microprocessor into dimension (in millimeters) and
weight (in carat).
The Presidium Electronic Gem Gauge features the
following:
• Measures from 0.0 to 25.0mm
• Accuracy: 0.01mm / Tolerance: 0.02mm
• Direct digital millimeter/carat readout
• Touch button zeroing that allows the convenience of
resetting to zero at any measurement point
• Smooth slider mechanism
• Low power consumption
• Portable and lightweight
• Auto-magnetic power o󰀨 when placed in carrying
case
Product specications:
• Measurement range: 0.00mm-25.00mm
• Accuracy: 0.01mm / Tolerance: 0.02mm
• Recommended battery: CR2032
• Battery lifespan: generally about 16 hours of
continuous usage
Included in your package:
• Presidium Electronic Gemstone Gauge
• High setting jewelry attachment
• Presidium Gemstone Weight Estimation Table

• Keep the gauge dry. Precipitation and all types of
liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will
corrode electronic circuits. If your gauge does get
wet, remove the battery, and allow the gauge to dry
completely before replacing it.
• Do not use, store or expose the gauge in dusty and
dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic
components can be damaged.
• Do not use, store or expose the gauge in hot areas.
High temperatures can damage or shorten the life of
the gauge, damage batteries, and warp or melt
certain plastics.
• Do not use, store or expose the gauge in cold areas.
When the gauge returns to its normal temperature,
moisture can form inside the gauge and damage
electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the gauge other than as
instructed in this handbook.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the gauge. Rough
handling might break internal circuit boards and ne
mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the gauge.
IV. IMPORTANT NOTICE

9
• Do not paint the gauge. Paint can clog the moving
parts and prevent proper operation.
If your gauge is not working properly, kindly contact
Presidium Customer Service at [email protected].

Inserting the battery into your Presidium Electronic
Gem Gauge
1. Pull the battery slider sideway outward using either
ngernails or a screwdriver.
2. Place a CR 2032 3V battery with the (+) sign facing
upward in the battery compartment and close by
pushing the battery slider sideway inward (Fig. 1.1).
3. The use of alkaline batteries is preferred, as it should
generally give approximately two and a half hours of
continuous operation, while the use of ordinary
batteries will give a shorter working life.
Fig. 1.1
Battery information
Do not leave worn out batteries in the battery
compartment as the batteries may corrode, leak or
damage the gauge. Batteries should be
removed when the instrument is expected
to be stored for an extended period of time.
1. GETTING STARTED with your Presidium
Electronic Gem Gauge

11
• The Presidium Electronic Gem Gauge should be held
in the palm of either hand. Control the Slider with the
thumb (Fig 2.1).
• When measuring loose stones, pull the Slider (Fig. 2.2)
and place the stone on the Slider platform. The base of
the stone should be parallel to the platform to prevent
it from moving.

2. PERFORMING A TEST with your Presidium
Electronic Gem Gauge

12
• Slowly close the Slider. The reading will be displayed
on the window immediately.
• Press MM/Ct (Fig. 2.3) to convert between
dimension in millimeter or weight in carat.
When measuring mounted stones, insert the jewelry
attachment to the gauge (Fig. 2.4) and place the stone
between the jewelry attachment and Slider anvil.
• Slowly close the Slider (Fig. 2.5), the reading will be
shown directly on the display window. Press MM/Ct
(Fig. 2.3) to convert between dimension in millimeter
or weight in carat.

Functions of your Presidium Electronic Gem Gauge
Use the Wedge Shape Points when measuring:
- Stones mounted in rubbed over settings
- Interiors of empty settings
- Ring size
Use the Projecting Probe when measuring:
- Depth of mounted stones
- Width and length of large, loose stones, especially
fancy cuts
Use the Jewelry Attachment when measuring:
- Depth of stones in high settings
- Depths of stones in settings with small holes
Please reset to zero after attaching this accessory
(Fig. 2.6).

3. TAKING CARE of your Presidium Electronic Gem
Gauge
Do not leave worn out batteries in the battery
compartment as the batteries may corrode, leak or
damage the gauge. Batteries should be removed when
the gauge is expected to be stored for an extended period
of time.
Your gauge is a product of extensive design and
craftsmanship and should be treated with care.
Thank you for taking time to go through the user
handbook which will enable you to understand your
recent purchase better.
Presidium also recommends that you register your
warranty by sending the warranty registration card to
us or registering online at http://www.presidium.com.sg/

• 保持量规干燥。 雨水以及任何形式的液体或湿气均
可能含有对电子线路具有腐 蚀性的矿物质。 如果
量规被打湿，请取出电池，让量规彻底晾干，如仍
然故障 则需更换设备。
• 切勿在多灰尘和脏乱的环境中使用、存放或暴露量
规。 这有可能损坏其活动部 件或电子元件。
• 切勿在高温环境中使用、存放或暴露量规。 高温有
可能损坏或缩短量规的寿命、损伤电池以及使某
些塑 料部件变形或熔化。
• 切勿在低温环境中使用、存放或暴露量规。 当量规
回到正常温度时可能在仪器内部形成湿气，从而
对电子线路板造成损害。
• 切勿尝试通过未在本手册中说明的方法来打开量
规。
• 切勿跌落、撞击或摇晃量规。 粗暴地使用可能导致
内部电路板和精密器械断裂。
• 切勿使用刺激性化学物质、清洁溶剂或强力洗涤剂
来清洗量规。
