Rolling a Measurement To take a measurement with the Scale Master Pro XE: 1) Turn the unit on. If the display does not show zero (0), press the [ON/CLEAR] key to clear the display. 2) Select your type of scale by pressing the [MODE] key. Then press the [SCALE] key to select your scale. 3) Begin rolling. The display will register your measurements. When you roll the unit, be sure to hold the unit upright (see the first picture in the "Operation" section).
Using the Memory Function The Memory function allows you to add rolled or counted values. However, you cannot add dimensioned (rolled) and nondimensioned (counted) values together. To add rolled values: 1) Roll the first value.* Press [M+]. The Memory indicator “M” appears and the value is added to Memory. 2) Roll the next value. Press [M+]. This value is added to your previous value stored in Memory. 3) You can continue to add values using the [M+] key. Press [RCL] [M+] to review the total in Memory.
Additional Memory Functions [SET] [M+] Subtracts the value in the main display from the value stored in Memory. [RCL] [M+] Displays the total accumulated value in Memory. Repeated presses of [M+] will toggle between total accumulated value, number of entries in Memory, and average value of all entries in Memory. [ON/CLEAR] + [M+] Clears the Memory register. Using Ruler Mode Your Scale Master Pro XE can be used as a rolling ruler, which is especially useful for measuring irregular shapes.
Programming Mode The Scale Master Pro XE allows you to pre-set frequently used values, including: ● Custom Scales (5 Imp/5 Met) ● Auto-Count distance ● +K (Constant) value ● Height value To begin setting values, press the [SET] key and then the desired key to be programmed. The following keys are used in programming mode: [UNITS] Toggles through available units. [W/LxW] (X) Advances the cursor to the next place to the right. [L] (W) Moves the cursor back to the next place to the left.
Setting Custom Scales You can store ten Custom Scales: five in Imperial Mode and five in Metric Mode. You can set a custom scale two ways: by “rolling in” a known distance or by entering the exact distance. Rolling a Custom Scale 1) Press [MODE] until # OPEN (# being a number 1-5) appears in the scale box display. 2) Press [SET] [SCALE]. “ROLL” will appear in the main display. 3) Roll desired distance. “ROLLING” now appears in the main display. 4) Press [SCALE].
6) Press [M+] (S) to increase or [RCL] (T) to decrease the selected digit. Press the [W/LxW] (X) key to move to the next digit to the right or the [L] (W) key to move back to the left. 7) Once the desired value has been entered, press [SET] to store value and exit the programming mode. Note: Pressing [ON/CLEAR] will exit the programming mode without saving any value as the Custom Scale. Entering a Custom Scale 1) Press [MODE] until # OPEN (# being a number 1-5) appears in the scale box display.
(cont’d) 4) To change the units of measurement, press [UNITS] until your desired units appear. Press the [W/LxW] (X) or the [L] (W) key to begin setting the distance. The selected digit will start flashing. 5) In Imperial mode, the scale will be one inch equals the distance you entered. In Metric mode, entered scales are direct ratios. 6) Press [M+] (S) to increase or [RCL] (T) to decrease the selected digit.
Setting an Auto-Count The Scale Master Pro XE has an Auto-Count function that allows you to count how many times you’ve rolled a certain distance. You will hear a beep each time you roll that distance. To set an Auto-Count: 1) Press [SET] [COUNT] to access the Auto-Count function. The appropriate annunciator will begin flashing “FT IN” for Imperial mode or “M” for Metric mode. “AUTO COUNT” will appear in the display. 2) To change the units of measurement, press [UNITS] until your desired units appear.
(cont’d) 4) Once the desired value has been entered, press [SET] to save changes and put the unit into Auto-Count mode. 5) Roll a distance. The unit will beep each time you roll the programmed distance. The count number in the display will increase. 6) Press [SET] [COUNT] to exit Auto-Count mode. Setting a Constant (+K) This function is used to store a constant value. Once a constant value has been stored, pressing [+K] will add that value to the displayed measurement.
2) To change the units of measurement, press [UNITS] until your desired units appear. Press the [W/LxW] (X) or the [L] (W) key to begin setting the distance. The selected digit will start flashing. 3) Press [M+] (S) to increase or [RCL] (T) to decrease the selected digit. Press the [W/LxW] (X) key to move to the next digit to the right or the [L] (W) key to move back to the left. 4) Once the desired value has been entered, press the [SET] key to save and exit.
Setting a Height The height function is used to enter a height value for finding volume. To set a Height: 1) Press [SET] [L] to access the height function. The appropriate annunciator will begin flashing “FT IN” for Imperial mode or “M” for Metric mode. An “H” will appear in the display. 2) To change the units of measurement, press [UNITS] until your desired units appear. Press the [W/LxW] (X) or the [L] (W) key to begin setting the distance. The selected digit will start flashing.
Finding Area 1) Roll the first side and press the [L] key to store as Length. 2) Roll the second side and press [W/LxW] to store as Width. The main display will show the calculated Area. Finding Volume To access Volume after you have your values set for Length, Width, and Height, press [SET] [W/LxW].
Additional Area/Volume Functions [RCL] [L] Displays the value stored in the Length register. [RCL] [W/LxW] Displays the value stored in the Width register. [ON/CLEAR] + [L] Clears the value stored as Length. [ON/CLEAR] + [W/LxW] Clears the value stored as Width. Connecting to a PC (optional) The Scale Master Pro XE has a computer interface connection so that you can use it with estimating and spreadsheet software programs.
