DigiScale Manual Part # 800-1404-001 Page 6 of 36
SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Introduction
DigiScale is a general purpose linear measuring system It consists of three
major parts: a SCALE, an ENCODER and a DIGITAL READOUT.
DigiScale is an ideal choice for most measuring requirements up to 60 inches
where affordable digital precision (better than a tape measure) is desired.
Because DigiScale shows the exact measurement on its readout, it
eliminates the ambiguity and mistakes involved when reading and
interpreting tape measures, scales & pointer, or shaft encoders.
Because DigiScale is a solid-state electronic device there's very little to wear
out. The encoder and scale are designed to withstand shop dirt, dust, and
other airborne contaminants. With normal care, DigiScale will last for years.
