Checkline TI-UMX2 - Manual (Page 7)

– 7 –
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 TI-UMX2 is displaying thickness
measurements, the display will hold the last value measured, until a new measurement
is made.
These eight vertical bars form the Stability Indicator. When the TI-UMX2 is idle,
only the left-most bar and the underline will be on. When the gauge is making a
measurement, six or seven of the bars should be on. If fewer than five bars are on, the
TI-UMX2 is having difficulty achieving a stable measurement, and the thickness value
displayed will most likely be erroneous.
