20 Most Recent Fowler 0-1" ELECTRONIC MICROMETER # 54-850-001 Questions & Answers

Take a piece of paper, insert it between the measuring faces close the instrument using the friction spindle. slip the paper out from the measuring faces. repeat until the paper comes out clean on both sides. Close the instrument using the friction spindle. zero the unit. check the instrument on a calibrated standard like a gauge block or mic standard. It should be right on the money. As far as I know that is the only adjustment required. 

To install the rods in a Fowler IP54 digital depth micrometer, follow these steps: Roll the 0-1 inch rod all the way up into the base of the tool. Place the base on a flat surface. Turn the thimble ratchet clockwise until the measurement rod tip is stopped by the flat surface and the ratchet clicks three times. The sleeve zero line should line up with the zero on the thimble scale If you need more, consult the manual for the device. Fowler Electronic Depth Micrometer Manual - Nicol Scales

Generally, micrometers are "zeroed" to a standard -- an object of a known specific length or diameter. If you have placed a 7-inch standard in the micrometer and brought the spindle into proper contact with that standard, and then zeroed the micrometer at that point, it will be properly set to seven inches. Standard micrometer travel is only one inch, and only that range is usually displayed. The user must then add the standard length to the face display or thimble reading to get the "developed" measurement.

Same exact features, buttons and functions as this manual by Irwin.

I want to use an old sensor forgiven during 30 years. I have no more manual, off course. Thanks for your answer

Most moisture meters measure the moisture content of wood or concrete is measured in percentages. So if the reading says 15 that means that there is a content of 15% moisture in the concrete.

Pressing the - (minus) button on the back toggles temperature units. Pressing + (plus) toggles barometric pressure units.

It's possible that one of the newer sensors could work in place of your 1457 sensor, but it depends on the specifications of the newer sensors and the compatibility with your base unit. The I MAX1457 sensor, which is a highly integrated analog-sensor signal processor optimized for piezoresistive sensor calibration and compensation. However, I have no information about its compatibility. If you're looking for a replacement sensor, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of your base unit to inquire about compatible sensors. Alternatively, you can check the user manual of your base unit to see if it lists compatible sensors. Garage door opener sensors are not universal. Safety sensors can only communicate with garage door openers from the same brand.
