Locking the Keypad 
The display allows the keypad to be locked so the current settings can't 
be accidentally changed by depressing the ZERO, PLUS or MINUS 
keys. To lock the keypad proceed as follows: 
1.  While depressing and holding the ON/OFF key, momentarily press 
the MODE key. 
2.  Release the MODE key and then the ON/OFF key. The display 
should now indicate “LOCK” in the upper left corner. 
3.  Use the same procedure to UNLOCK the keypad. 
NOTE:  Locking the keypad may cause the PLUS and MINUS keys to 
function differently. (See “Pattern Adjustment”.) The zero key 
will not function when the display is locked. 
Pattern Adjustment 
Whenever the readhead is disconnected from its power source, or the 
display is turned off, and the readhead is moved over a pattern joint, the 
displayed reading may be one or more patterns (+ 430mm) in error when 
power is restored. This may also occur if the readhead is moved too 
quickly in Model 150/250 systems. 
To correct the error, place the digital display in ABS LOCK mode and 
use the PLUS or MINUS keys to increment or decrement the reading 
until the proper reading is displayed. Using this procedure will result in 
NO LOSS OF ACCURACY to the system. 
Hold 
The current state of the display is "frozen" when the HOLD button is 
pressed, and remains "frozen" until the button is pressed again. When in 
hold, the display will display HOLD in the upper left corner, and no 
movements or keystrokes will be recognized. When HOLD is released, 
all pending keystrokes will be recognized. If the power is cycled, the 
HOLD will be cleared. 
Note:  The ProScale display will auto-detect an SPC device connected 
to the display and reconfigure the HOLD button to Data Send.
