3.2. Extension Arms

Fig. 7: Tighten thumb screw

Align the receiving component’s hole (centre base, blind side base, arms) with the thumb screw (Fig. 7) of the connecting component.
Ensure correct arm orientation when using magnetic arms.
Place magnetic arms furthest from indicator for optimal stability.
A small radius on the bottom surface assists with measuring along the length of small diameter pipes.

Fig. 8: Loosen to pivot indicator Fig. 9: Centre base or blind side base

Fig. 10: Rotate indicator face

Loosen the thumb screw to pivot the indicator when required (Fig. 8).
Loosen thumb screw to switch indicator for use with either base (Fig. 9).
Rotate the indicator face during inverted scanning (Fig. 10).

3.4. Optional Magnetic Arm (Fig. 11)

Fig. 11: Adjust magnetic attraction with lever

The red lever controls the amount of magnetic attraction.
Pivot the lever left to disengage all magnetism, pivot the lever to the right to engage full magnetism.

3.5. Blind Side Base (Fig. 12)
