DIGITAL READOUT
Scale
DigiScale Models 18 & 28
The scale consists of a series of conductive patterns bonded to an aluminum
extrusion. The Model 18 Scale is .765 inches wide and comes in measuring
lengths up to 10 inches long. The Model 28 Scale is 2.02 inches wide and
comes in measuring lengths up to 60 inches.
All Scales are approximately 4 inches longer in their physical length than
their measuring range.
Encoder
The DigiScale encoder contains electronic circuitry that transmits and
receives signals to and from the scale using a patented technology called
inductive coupling. This data is then sent to the digital readout where it can
be displayed in millimeters, inches, or fractions.
Multiple encoders, each connected to a digital readout, may be used on the
same scale simultaneously.
Models 18 & 28 encoders have black
housings with a cable exiting from one
corner. The encoder orientation on the
scale may be reversed to reverse the
direction of the measurement readings,
or
they
may
be
reversed
through
programming in the digital readout.
All Models 18 & 28 encoders are supplied
with a 6 foot (72 inch) cable.
Digital Readouts
DigiScale Models 18 & 28 can be used with either of two Digital Readouts.
