The Fowler Z-Height E chrome-plated electronic height gauge is precise to 0.0005" (0.01mm), and has a high-contrast LCD readout, a large, hand-operated feed wheel, a carbide-tipped scriber, and a positive lock. A hand-operated feed wheel raises and lowers the gauge on the beam with smooth, even travel, and is selectable for coarse or fine feed. The gauge has a hold function to freeze recordings on the 11mm display, as well as a zero setting function. A datum position recall function programs more than one zero point. Relative and absolute measuring functions allow measurements of the true size or comparison measurements of parts to a master. An incremental measuring function allows each reading to be taken from the previous reading. The measuring speed is 120" per second. The gauge has RS-232 output for data transfer. The included scriber, used to mark position on the workpiece, is carbide-tipped for hardness and durability. The gauge is powered by one CR 2032, 3V lithium battery (sold separately) that provides up to one year of normal use. The display flashes to indicate when battery replacement is needed. The gauge has a working environment temperature of 32 to 104 degrees F (0 to 40 degrees C) with a surrounding relative humidity of 80 percent. Storage and transport temperature is -4 to 158 degrees F (-20 to 70 degrees C). The satin chrome finish on the scales resists rust and is glare-free. The base is hardened, ground, and lapped for maximum flatness. The gauge comes with a molded case. Height gauges, sometimes referred to as gauges, are precision measuring instruments that travel on a vertical column (also called the beam) to measure and/or mark the vertical distance from the base of an object in fine units. The vertical position of the gauge and its attached pointer are changed by turning a calibrated screw, or one or more feed wheels. Recorded rotations are read from a scale, a dial, counters, and/or an electronic display. A screw clamp holds the pointer to the gauge. The pointer is typically sharpened to act as a scriber, and can be used to mark a position on a workpiece by scratching its surface. On compatible units, the scriber may be replaced by an electronic touch-signal probe. Height gauges are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering. The Fred V. Fowler Company manufactures inspection and measurement instruments such as electronic indicators, calipers, bore gauges, and digital scales. The company, founded in 1946, is headquartered in Newton, MA. What's in the Box? Fowler height gauge Molded case
