QUICK START

1 – Connect the air input to the air preparation unit ref 55-MBV001. The air pressure should
be at 3 BAR (0.3Mpa) and
adjustment in order not to let someone change the pressure value after having calibrated the
display.
2 – Connect your air gauge on the output « OUTPUT – AIR GAUGE »
3 – Power the M1/M3 either with the mini USB or with the 24VDC terminal.
4 – Turn on the M1/M3 by pressing the ON-OFF switch.
5 – Calibration of the device:

To be done the first time, and can be done or verified again periodically (wear of the
master or the gauge)

The M1/M3 requires a minimum of 2 masters for the calibration. The MIN and MAX
masters should respectively correspond to the lower and upper tolerance limits of the
measured part.
A – From the « SETUP » icon, write the master values according to your calibration
certificate. The display need 2 masters MIN and MAX to be used.
B – Place your MIN master in measuring position and press on the « calibration »
button. The button becomes green for a couple of seconds.
C – Repeat the step B for the MAX master.
D – You can check by placing again the MIN master. The value on the « position »
field must be at 0.0000, then by placing the MAX master, the « position » field must
indicate the dimensional difference between the 2 masters.
6 – Configuration of the part to be measured. (From the Icon « definition »)
A – Use the scroll bar to reach the 2nd screen.
B – Write the value of MIN and MAX tolerances (that should correspond to your MIN
and MAX masters). The tolerance must be written relative from the nominal value. For
example, if your part has a nominal diameter of 10mm +/-0.005, you must write in the
Upper tolerance 0.005 and lower tolerance -0.005, and in the nominal field: 10.
It is then advised to use the min master in the case of external diameter
measurement, and to use the MAX master in the case of internal diameter
measurement, so you need to fill the « Master » field with the adapted value. As taken
from calibration certificate.
C – Close the window, and come back to the measuring screen by pressing the
« measure » icon.
7 – Preset
A – Place your Min or MAX master according to what you have defined in 6-B.
B – Press on the « PRESET » button. The value must change to the master value. You can
now check with the 2 masters if the values are correct.
You are now ready to measure.
