EZ-Check™ Switch The EZ-Check™ Switch has three positions: HI, DIAL, and LO. Its position is shown at the left edge of the display with “HI” and “LO” indicators. The output is adjustable in all three positions. The EZ-Check™ Switch allows user-selected values to be stored in the HI and LO positions when used in combination with the EZ-Dial Knob. To store new EZ-Check™ value(s): 1. Dial the display to match the desired stored outputs for the HI or LO positions. 2. Press down on the EZ-Dial Knob until the confirmation message “STORED” appears. 3. Recall the values by moving the switch between HI, DIAL, and LO. Operational description: When returning to previously set EZ-Check™ positions, the DIAL position always recalls the last output value it was dialed to. The HI and LO positions will recall the last STORED value, NOT the last output value it was last dialed to. Hint: For faster calibrations, the product has been designed so the position of the switch can be felt. This tactile feature allows continuous monitoring of the device being calibrated without looking back at the Model 520/521 display. This is also useful in poor lighting or under difficult operating conditions. 841 Holt Road #1 • Webster, NY 14580 Tel: 585-872-9350 • Fax: 585-872-2638 [email protected] • http://www.piecal.com/ Practical Instrument Electronics, Inc.
