Especificaciones clave

Funciones principales & Características

Measuring Principle

Uses an electronic gravity sensor with low-power circuitry to measure angles by detecting changes in gravitational direction, with no complex mechanical components.

Key Functions

1. Full-angle measurement: 360° measurement across 4 quadrants for tilt detection in any direction
2. Zero reset: Sets any angle as a reference zero for relative angle measurement
3. Hold function: Locks the current reading for easy recording and reading
4. Simple calibration: Calibrates using a known-angle surface without special fixtures
5. Auto-orienting display: LCD remains upright for clear reading at any angle (Pro 360 feature)
6. Diseño de bajo consumo: Up to ~500 hours of battery life for long-term field use

Operating Instructions for Mitutoyo Pro-360-950-317 Digital Protractor

Quick Start Guide

Basic operation: Press ON/OFF → wait 5 seconds for stabilization → place firmly on the surface → press ZERO to set zero → press MODE to change display mode.

Key functions: HOLD to lock reading, ALT to switch horizontal/vertical reference, no internal calibration (requires external reference surface).

1. Power On & Basic Measurement
2. Power on

Short press ON/OFF; the LCD lights up and enters 360° measuring mode (default horizontal reference: 0.0° horizontal, 90.0° vertical).

2. Stable reading

Place the reference base firmly against the measured surface and wait 5 seconds for the reading to stabilize.

3. Read the angle

360° mode: 0.0°–360.0°

180°×2 mode: press MODE; 0.0°–180.0° (dual direction)

90°×4 mode: press MODE; quadrant-based display

4. Power off

Hold ON/OFF for 3 seconds to shut down; auto power-off for energy saving.

2. Core Function Operations

3. Calibration Method (No Internal Calibration)

This model has no built-in self-calibration; use a known-angle standard surface (square, master protractor, precision V-block).

Steps:

1. Clean the standard surface and instrument base.
2. Place on the standard surface (p.ej., 90°) and wait 5 artículos de segunda clase.
3. If the reading deviates, note the offset and correct manually or send for service.
4. Verify at 0°, 45°, and 90° for full-range accuracy.
5. Typical Application Procedures
6. Machine tool leveling

Power on → 90°×4 mode → place on guideways → read tilt → adjust feet to 0.0°±0.1°.

2. Workpiece squareness inspection

Power on → press ALT for vertical reference → measure side → read deviation.

3. Relative angle measurement

Power on → zero on reference → measure target surface → read relative angle.

4. Flatness inspection

360° mode → measure multiple points → record max/min difference.

5. Operation & Consejos de mantenimiento

Antes de usar: Clean all contact surfaces; avoid strong magnetic fields.

Durante el uso: Handle gently; use fixtures for curved surfaces.

Mantenimiento: Verify every 3 meses; store dry at -10°C~+40°C; remove battery during long storage.

6. Solución de problemas

7. Seguridad & Cumplimiento

Do not disassemble the unit; this voids warranty and damages the sensor.

Do not use in flammable or explosive environments.

Complies with JJF 1084-2002 Calibration Specification for Levels for traceable results.
