Figures 2 & 3, it is important to ensure that the dial indicator is perpendicular to the measured surface to also avoid the cosine measurement error. Figure 2. Horizontal scale alignment. Figure 3. Vertical scale alignment. Digital Readout System...
The mounting strip, shown in Figure 5, must be as short as possible to provide a rigid surface. Figure 5. Mounting strip. Digital Readout System A clearance of at least " between the scale and scale cover is necessary (Figure 6).

Generally the scale reads in the correct direction with the label of the scale exposed. Lathe Scale Installation: Before fitting the scale, connect the "X" axis to the cross slide to allow the diameter function to work. Digital Readout System...
Figure 16. Mounting scale on backing plate. Digital Readout System When the scale is mounted, fix the reader head to the saddle. If necessary, shim the head to ensure that it is parallel and in-line with the scales (Figure 17).
