MX-5 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

The Display

The numeric portion of the display consists of 4 complete digits preceded by a leading "1", and is used to display numeric values, as well as occasional simple words, to indicate the status of various settings. When the MX-5is displaying thickness measurements, the display will hold the last value measured, until a new measurement is made. Additionally,

when the battery voltage is low, the entire display will begin to flash.

When this occurs, the batteries should be replaced.

These eight vertical bars form the Stability Indicator. When the MX-5is idle, only the left-most bar and the underline will be on. While the gauge is taking a measurement, six or seven of the bars should be on. If fewer than five bars are on, the MX-5is having difficulty achieving a stable measurement, and the thickness value displayed will most likely be erroneous.
