TROUBLESHOOTING■Origin position shifts during measurement.

DI-10KD

Dial Indicator / Comparator

・Temperature changes during measurement can cause repeatability error.
Please try the following solutions:●Use in location with constant temperature.
●When taking measurements, periodically adjust zero point using a Master reference to correct for
temperature induced drift.

DIAL GAUGE■Measurement is not stable, or measurement accuracy is poor.

■APPLICATIONS・Worn Contact Point will affect accuracy.
Periodically check Contact Point for wear, and replace if wear is affecting measurement accuracy.

・Wipe any contamination from Spindle sliding surface using a dry cloth, or cloth moistened withalcohol.
・To clean other surfaces, wipe with a soft dry cloth, or a cloth moistened with a mild cleaner.

Check for wear of Contact Point.

・Measurement accuracy will be affected by worn Contact Point. Regularly check for wear andreplace Contact Point if worn.

Store in provided case in a cool, dark, and dry location.

・During storage, make sure there is no force on the Spindle (such as pushed in, or lateral force).
・Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight, and secure from unauthorized personnel.

CALIBRATION
To maintain measurement accuracy,
periodic calibration is recommended.
(For reference, we recommend a calibration interval of
3~4 months when used in a factory.)
Outside Japan, Please contact distributor or place ofpurchase to inquire about calibrations services.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONSHOW TO USE - Preparation

Please Observe

Always follow the procedures specified below in order to prevent harm to yourself or others, and toprevent damage to property.

①Confirm that the Contact Point and Rear Cover are tightly fastened.

■Content marked as follows indicates risk of injury or damage if not followed.

②Attach to the Holder using the Stem or Rear Lug.

Mounting Gauge by other than Stem or Lug will cause inaccuracy and product damage.

CAUTION Indicates risk of personal injury or property damage if not followed.

③Confirm that Pointer and Revolution Counter movement is smooth.

■These symbols mark content that must be observed.
Denotes a prohibition – You MUST NOT do

Using fingertip, gently press on Contact Point to move the Spindle up and down.
Motion of Pointers should be smooth. If it is not smooth make sure Stem is not clamped to Holder too tight,and adjust. Also make sure Pointer is stable at set position.

Denotes a requirement – You MUST do④Make sure Spindle axis is perpendicular tomeasured surface.

CAUTION
Read the manual and follow all instructions.
・Use of product other than as described in themanual may cause accident.

Use only as indicator Gauge.

・Use for any purpose other than measuring may
damage or wear the instrument. Improper use
may also cause accident.

Use in an environment which meets thefollowing conditions:

Do not disassemble or modify.

・It may damage Gauge and cause pooraccuracy.
・If Bezel Clamp Screw is removed,
internal components may come loose andmisaligned causing product failure.

Do not shock Spindle.

・Rapid motion, or lateral force maydamage Gauge and cause poor accuracy.

●Temperature within range of 0~40°
C、humidity
30~70% (non-condensing).
●Location with minimal dust, oil, oil mist, andprotected from direct sunlight.
●Location protected from use by children andunauthorized people.
・Use in location contrary to the above may cause
poor accuracy, damage to the product, or may
result in accident or injury.

Handle With Care.

・Do not drop or subject to shock, do not place
under heavy objects. Damage may cause failure
or poor accuracy.

Carefully lift Spindle with fingertip, and, taking care notto hit Spindle from the side, insert the Reference Partor Master under Contact Point.

Measured Object① Limit MarkersEx.) Pass Range :−0.05 to ＋1.50②Set the Origin.

Adjust the gauge mount or rotate the Bezel to set theGauge to “0”.

③Remove Reference, and begin measurements.
Remove Reference or Master, careful not to shock
Spindle. Insert part to be measured and read themeasurement off the Scale.

HolderMake sure Gauge holder is rigid.

② Pointer※Setting the Limit Markers

Limit Markers can be moved to show acceptance
range for measurements.

HOW TO USE - Parallelism, Flatness, Runout, etc.
⑦ StemArm

Dial Gauge must only be attached by Stem or Rear Lug.

①Position Contact Point on surface.

Carefully lifting Spindle with fingertip, and taking care not to hit Spindle from the side, position the surface tobe measured under the Contact Point.

②Set the Origin.
Minimize this distanceDuring installation, do not over-tighten the Stem.

・Excessive force on the Stem may cause Spindle to bind.

※When used to check parallelism of Milling Machinevise, use a Magnetic Base to mount the Gauge
perpendicular to surface, and move it out of the way
during operation to prevent interference.

①Set Up Reference Part.

Dial gauge must be securely mounted such as on a comparator stand or magnetic base.
Please follow these guidelines.
・Holder must be sufficiently secure to prevent deflection from theweight of the Dial Gauge.
・Holder must be rigid enough to hold Gauge and not to lift frommeasurement force.
・Holder arm should be as short as possible to prevent deflection.
※Deflection or lifting will cause measurement error, such as origin
position error and inaccuracies in measured reading.

If Spindle (Contact Point) is not at a right angle tosurface, Gauge will not operate properly andmeasurement will be inaccurate. Always keep theSpindle axis perpendicular.

HOW TO USE - Comparison Measurements

PREPARATION - Mounting

・Mounting of gauge by other than Stem or Lug will cause
inaccuracy and product damage.

If loose, please re-tighten the Rear Plate Screws.

※Mounting Example

Adjust the gauge mount, or rotate the Bezel to set the Gauge to “0”.

③Read the scale as the measured part is moved.

Slowly move the part while monitoring the Pointer and reading the measurement.
