ECTION ENERAL NFORMATION Introduction ProScale is a general purpose linear measuring system consisting of three major parts: a , an and a SCALE ENCODER DIGITAL READOUT ProScale is an ideal choice for most measuring requirements up to 8 inches where affordable digital precision (better than a tape measure) is desired. Because ProScale shows the exact measurement on its readout, it eliminates the ambiguity and mistakes involved when reading and interpreting tape measures, scales &...
2 AA Alkaline Batteries Operating Temp: 40 to 110°F Slew Rate: 60 inches/second Encoder cable: 120 inch * PHYSICAL length of the aluminum scale extrusion is approximately 4 inches longer than the MEASUREMENT range. Accurate Technology ProScale Model 18W Page 5 of 20...
About ProScale Model 18W ProScale Model 18W is a Limited Edition 20 Anniversary Model sold exclusively on www.proscale.com and at Industry Trade shows where Accurate Technology exhibits. ProScale Model 18W systems consist of a and a SCALE ENCODER DIGITAL (or DRO).
Be sure connections are secure or inaccurate readings could Connector Link result. Plug the encoder cable into the readout. Accurate Technology ProScale Model 18W Page 7 of 20...

Stationary Scale installation If your application is better suited for the scale to be held stationary and the encoder moved along it during a measurement, you should use the Guide Clip to capture the encoder and move it along the scale (see illustration). Attach the scale to a fixed point in your application using the included screw.
Drilling out the 3 holes from the inside of the case • Using any of the six holes on the back of the case which may tapped for M2 or 4-40 screws. Accurate Technology ProScale Model 18W Page 9 of 20...
The LCD The above figure illustrates all the segments available on the LCD Pressing and holding the ON and UNITS key for 10 seconds with power OFF will perform a full segment LCD test, display the current firmware version, AND RESET ALL PROGRAMMING PARAMETERS TO FACTORY DEFAULT VALUES.
After 9 seconds: Temperature (in programming mode) forces parameter to factory default no effect Minus (-) decrements displayed value decrements faster (in programming mode) decrements parameter value decrements faster Accurate Technology ProScale Model 18W Page 11 of 20...
Key Functions for standard operation OFF KEY Momentarily press Momentarily press the key to turn DRO off then momentarily press it again to turn it back on. The Firmware version is displayed for two seconds at power-on. UNITS KEY Momentarily press Momentarily depressing the key will display measurement/position UNITS...
See Programming Parameter (Pr1). key can be locked out to prevent accidental entries. DATUM and Programming Parameter (Pr3). LOCK FUNCTION Press and hold the key for 6 seconds to display the battery voltage. DATUM Accurate Technology ProScale Model 18W Page 13 of 20...
Basic Functions MEASUREMENT READING DIRECTION Once the system has been put into operation, if the direction of readings, (positive or negative values) is opposite the desired direction, the DRO programming may be changed to correct the direction. See Programming Parameter (Pr2). KEY LOCK The Digital Readout provides a function that can be used to “lock-out”...
CAUTION: DO NOT BEND BATTERY CLIPS! THESE CLIPS ARE DESIGNED TO BE LOOSE WHEN THE CASE IS OPEN AND WILL COMPRESS AND SECURE THE BATTERIES IN PLACE WHEN THE CASE HALVES ARE SCREWED TOGETHER. Accurate Technology ProScale Model 18W Page 15 of 20...
Circuit Board Jumpers FACTORY USE ONLY FACTORY CONFIGURED: DO NOT CHANGE Programming Lock-out Default = Position A Front panel programming of the Digital Readout can be enabled or disabled though the use of this circuit board jumper. Front panel Programming is enabled when the shorting jumper is installed in position A.
The LCD will briefly display: PG depress the DATUM (Programming Off), then return to normal operation. NOTE: The system will automatically exit programming mode after 60 seconds of no key activity. Accurate Technology ProScale Model 18W Page 17 of 20...
The Digital Readout Programming Parameters are listed below. Values in [ ] are the range of values available for that Parameter. Factory defaults values are shown in Bold Red. Pr 1 – Datum Key to + 999.999in] or to +9999.99mm] The programmed value that will be recalled whenever the Datum key is pressed during normal operation.
How do I calibrate my ProScale? There is no calibration available or necessary for the ProScale. System accuracy will depend on the accuracy of the ProScale Scale itself and the quality of the installation. Accurate Technology ProScale Model 18W Page 19 of 20...
