1. Introduktion

This manual provides essential information for the proper use, setup, operation, and maintenance of the Mitutoyo 543-400B Absolute LCD Digimatic Indicator. This precision measuring instrument is designed for accurate dimensional measurement in various industrial and scientific applications.

The 543-400B model features an LCD display, an absolute electrostatic capacitance type linear encoder, and offers functions such as origin-set/preset, zeroset, Go/No-Go judgment, counting direction switching, power on/off, data output, and inch/mm conversion (on inch/metric models). It is powered by a single SR44 battery, providing approximately 5,000 hours of life under normal use, and boasts an IP42 or IP53 dust/water protection level.

2. Nøglefunktioner

• Compact design, comparable to standard Series 2 dial indicators, with a large, easy-to-read LCD.
• Go/No-Go Judgment functionality, allowing setting of upper and lower tolerance limits with full-size character display of results.
• Toggleable positive/negative count based on spindle movement.
• Equipped with an absolute linear encoder, displaying the spindle's "absolute position" from the origin upon power-on, eliminating over-speed errors due to unlimited response speed.
• The indicator face can be rotated 330 degrees for optimal viewvinkel.
• Features SPC data output for statistical process control integration.
• Includes alarms for low voltage, counting value composition error, over-flow error, and tolerance limit setting error.
• Supports internal calculations using the simple formula F(x) = Ax.

Hovedkomponenter:

• LCD-skærm: Large, clear digital readout for measurement values and function indicators.
• Kontrolknapper: MODE, SET, and DATA ON/OFF buttons for various operations and settings.
• Målespindel: The movable rod with a contact point at its end, used to make contact with the workpiece.
• Stilk: The cylindrical part (8mm diameter) used for mounting the indicator into a stand or fixture.
• Tilbage: Flat back design for stable mounting.
• Batterirum: Houses the SR44 battery.

4. Opsætning

4.1 Batteriinstallation

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the side of the indicator.
2. Fjern forsigtigt dækslet.
3. Insert one SR44 battery (part number 938882) with the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Sæt batterirummets dæksel på igen.

Note: The battery life is approximately 5,000 hours under normal use. Replace the battery when the low voltage alarm appears on the display.

4.2 Montering af indikatoren

The Mitutoyo 543-400B indicator features an 8mm stem diameter and an M2.5 x 0.45 thread for the contact point, allowing for versatile mounting options.

1. Select a stable and appropriate indicator stand or fixture.
2. Insert the 8mm diameter stem of the indicator into the clamping mechanism of the stand.
3. Stram clamping screw on the stand to hold the indicator firmly in place. Ensure the indicator is perpendicular to the surface being measured, if applicable.
4. Adjust the indicator's position and height as needed for your measurement application. The indicator face can be rotated 330 degrees for optimal viewing.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Tænd/sluk

• Tryk på for at tænde for indikatoren ON/OFF knappen. Displayet lyser.
• To power off the indicator, press and hold the ON/OFF knappen, indtil displayet slukker.

5.2 Zero-Setting and Origin-Setting

The absolute linear encoder ensures that the indicator always displays the spindle's "absolute position" from the origin at power-on, eliminating the need for repeated origin setting.

• Nulstilling: To set the current spindle position as zero for relative measurements, press the SÆT button. The display will show "0.00" (or "0.000" depending on resolution).
• Origin-Setting (Preset): For specific applications requiring a preset origin, refer to the detailed instructions in the full product manual or contact Mitutoyo support. This function allows setting a specific value at a given point.

5.3 Inch/Millimeter Conversion

For models supporting both units, you can switch between inch and millimeter display modes.

• Tryk på MODE button to toggle between inch (IN) and millimeter (MM) units. The active unit will be indicated on the display.

5.4 Go/No-Go Judgment

This feature allows for quick pass/fail determination based on predefined tolerance limits.

1. Setting Tolerance Limits: Access the tolerance setting mode (typically via the MODE button or a combination of buttons). Input the upper and lower tolerance limits according to your application requirements. Refer to the full manual for specific steps.
2. Performing Judgment: As measurements are taken, the display will indicate "GO" (within tolerance) or "NG" (No-Go, outside tolerance) in full-size characters.

5.5 Data Output (SPC)

The indicator is equipped with SPC data output capability for integration with data collection systems.

• Connect the appropriate SPC data cable (sold separately) to the data output port on the indicator.
• Use compatible data collection software or devices to receive measurement data.
• Tryk på DATA button (or a combination) to transmit the current measurement value.

6. Vedligeholdelse

6.1 Rengøring

• Regularly wipe the indicator body and spindle with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.
• Til genstridigt snavs, brug en let tør kludampened with mild detergent or isopropyl alcohol. Avoid harsh solvents.
• Ensure no liquid enters the display or button areas.
• Keep the measuring spindle clean and free of debris to ensure smooth movement and accurate readings.

6.2 Udskiftning af batteri

Replace the SR44 battery when the low voltage alarm is displayed or when the indicator fails to power on.

1. Følg trinene til batteriinstallation, der er beskrevet i afsnit 4.1.
2. Bortskaf brugte batterier i henhold til lokale regler.

6.3 Opbevaring
