MMX-6 DL Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

OPERATION

The MMX-6 DL interacts with the operator through the membrane keypad and the LCD display. The functions of the various keys on the keypad are detailed below, followed by an explanation of the display and its various symbols.

The Keypad

This key is used to turn the MMX-6 DL on and off. When the tool is turned ON, it will first perform a brief display test by illuminating all of the segments in the display. After one second, the tool will display the internal software version number and the current file location and status. After displaying the version number, the display will show "0.000" (or "0.00" if using metric units), indicating the tool is ready for use.

The MMX-6 DL is turned OFF by pressing the ON/OFF key. The tool has a special memory that retains all of its settings even when the power is off. The tool also features an auto-powerdown mode designed to conserve battery life. If the tool is idle for 5 minutes, it will turn itself off.
