- Page 5 POWER Archimede has an independent power supply with rechargeable batteries. The batteries level is readable in the LCD display, the status indication is shown with a small icon on the display: Full charge half charge Low battery (auto-off) In case of low battery Archimede automatically shuts off to prevent malfunctions and inaccurate readings.

Page 6: Battery Charging
BATTERY CHARGING The instrument is supplied with USB Travel Adapter battery charger. You are not allowed to use other chargers than the one provided, in order to avoid any damage to the batteries and the electronic devices inside the instrument. Connect the supplied battery charger to the USB plug on the Archimede arm and let it charge for about 6 hours. - Page 7 THE MEASURING PRINCIPLE OF THE ARCHIMEDE HR The Archimede is a measuring instrument which detects a circumference passing through the three points of tangency (ABC) between the cylinder to be measured and the instrument support points. This type of measurement offers advantages in terms of: 1 •...
- Page 8 IS THE ARCHIMEDE HR SUITABLE TO MEASURE ALL KINDS OF LARGE DIAMETERS? Archimede HR is a device that due to its given flexibility, can be used in many production fields. Its measurement principle allows to obtain the stated accuracy when measuring cylindrical parts that do not have irregular shapes, such as those machined.
- Page 9 IN CASE OF ELLIPTICAL CYLINDERS IS IT POSSIBLE THE MEA- SUREMENT WITH ARCHIMEDE HR? If the cylinder to be measured has a form error, Archimede will provide the value of the diameter of a circumference passing through the three contact points on the cylinder that is being measured.
- Page 10 HOW WE PROCEED TO DETERMINE THE VALUE OF THE AVERAGE DIAMETER WITH ARCHIMEDE HR? When you want to minimize the problem of circularity error, it’s useful to divide the cylinder circumference in up to 12 arcs of 30°. On each arc is then taken the diameter measurement, to obtain the value of the Average Diameter.
- Page 11 IN CASE OF IRREGULAR CYLINDERS IS IT POSSIBLE TO MEASURE THEM WITH THE ARCHIMEDE HR? It is possible to measure an irregular cylinder only by repeating the measurement on different arcs of the same cylinder, to obtain the value of the Average Diameter.
- Page 12 HOW TO USE THE ARCHIMEDE HR It is suggested to use the Archimede instrument following these two modes: • according to a vertical plane perpendicular to the axis of the contact wheels (ie the axis of the workpiece to be measured horizontally). [Pic. 1] •...

FUNCTIONS MENU Power on / off To turn on and off the ARCHIMEDE, press the ON / OFF button on the control panel. Zero setting of Archimede The zero setting procedure of the instrument is automatically performed every time it is turned on. The operator holding the instrument with the measuring arms joined, turn the instrument on by pressing the ON/OFF button and wait till the following text appears on the display: OPEN FROM JOINED ARMS... -

A small icon on the display, on the right; shows the battery charge status. = full charge = half charge = low battery When the battery is fully loaded, please disconnect it from the electrical power. The maximum number of readings that can be stored is 12. The instrument is able to recognize the angle between its arms and then arrange automatically the measurement of an internal or an external diameter. - Page 15 Calibration and factory settings The instrument Archimede is calibrated at 20° ± 1°C reference temperature: this calibration is called “factory set”. “OT MODE” calibration When using Archimede in particular environmental conditions (very high or very low temperatures) it is necessary to calibrate the instrument for a more accurate and precise measurement, as illustrated below: 1.

Page 16: Clearing Memory
Readings store It is possible to store up to 12 readings, and obtain the arithmetic mean. In order to obtain this, once achieved a stable measurement, press the (SAVE) button on the right arm of the instrument: The display will show the actual value of the diameter. Pressing the (SAVE) button the current measurement is stored in memory, and in the bottom right corner is shown the number of stored measurements. -

Rotation of the messages on the display To ease the reading on the display under particular conditions of measurement, a function of rotation of 180 ° of the shown messages on the display is provided, pressing button. To return to the normal display setting, press the button again. - Page 18 Reading of maximum and minimum values In order to make the diameters measurement easier, especially when the instrument is not easy to reach, the “Minimum Value” reading function has been developped:, that shows on the display the minimum value detected by the instrument during the measuring process.
- Page 19 IMPORTANT REMARKS FOR A PROPER MEASUREMENT The Archimede instrument measures the circumference diameter fitted through three points of contact identified by the instrument supports (the central one and the two wheels at the ends of the arms). Should be taken in mind that, in case of shape error of the object to be measured, will be obtained measurements influenced by the same error.
- Page 20 ADDITIONAL FUNCTION RELATIVE ZERO SETTING • Pushing down either one of the two Save buttons for about three seconds, you will enter in the Relative zero configuration mode on the instrument. • Hold Archimede for about ten seconds in the desired position for the relative zeroing.
