Introduction
This manual includes operation and use information for ProPanel-HD systems
that use a ProScale General Purpose Enhanced Readout with operating
firmware (F/W) of 4.000C and higher.
(The firmware version is displayed on power-up, i.e. P4.020C.)
NOTE: Some pictures used in this manual may not represent your actual
product’s colors. The terms ProPanel, ProPanel-HD and ProPanel-HD-E
are used interchangeably.
ProPanel™ is a general-purpose portable measuring tool. It is ideal for making
inside, outside, and corner-corner measurements. In addition, edge-to-hole
and hole-to-hole measurements are possible with the optional Cone Set.
ProPanel-HD has been designed using high quality anodized aluminum
extrusion and machined parts to provide the best accuracy and repeatability
over a wide variety of environments.
The measurement system used for ProPanel-HD is based on the ProScale®
Model 590 Digital Measuring System.
Cylinders are included; these are
used to make Corner-Corner
comparisons
Optional Cone Set is used to make
Hole-Hole and Edge-Hole measurements

Calibration
Each ProPanel-HD system is calibrated at factory when initially built. Systems
should be checked at least once per year for accuracy, and serviced as
needed. If you see a NoCo message, the readout is trying to show a dimension
that is outside the range of calibration. Close jaws and press the DATUM key. If
NoCo message does not clear, consult factory for assistance.

Initial Set-up
In most instances, the initial parameters such as a reference point, measurement units,
and resolution will be factory set. (See page 2 for these.)
UNITS: To change the measurement units, press the UNITS Key.
The readout will cycle thru:
•Decimal Inches
•Fractions –16ths of inch
•Fractions –32nd of inch
•Fractions –64th of inch
•Millimeters (or centimeters if enable)
DATUM: Close the jaws together and verify the readout shows zero. Press the DATUM
key if needed. The keypad can be locked if desired; this prevents accidental presses of
the PLUS, MINUS, or DATUM keys from affecting accuracy.
CUSTOMIZE: Many operations/features of the ProPanel system can be configured to
suit best way you will use the gage. See Programming Mode section for details about
the numerous controls/settings available.

Outside Measuring
Use the ProPanel-HD like a handheld caliper or T-square. Close the jaws
against the edges of the item being measured, keeping the jaws as square to
the edges as possible, and read the result on the readout.
Tips:
•Ensure the beam is not sagging during measurements.
•Try to use the full width of the jaws wherever possible.

Inside Measuring
1. Press the F1 key on the keypad. A small number 1will appear just above
the dimension.
2. The readout is now showing the Inside measurement.
Note: This offset value is factory programmed (see page 2), but can be
changed if needed
3. Using the upper or lower tips of the jaws, measure the inside dimension of
interest, and read the result on the readout.
Note: Videos showing how these measurements are made are posted at web
site: www.proscale.com/propanel/

Hole-to-Hole Measurements
(Using optional Cone Kit parts)
1. Close the jaws together and momentarily push
the DATUM key.
2. Install both full cones as shown using the supplied
3/16” wrench.
3. Press the F1 key until the #2 superscript appears
on the screen.
Notes:
•The tips of the cones are even with the edges of the jaws, so the value
displayed is the same as for outside measuring.
•Hole-to-hole measurements less than 1.5” are not possible.
4. Open the jaws and place the cones into the holes in the part. A slight
“wiggling” of the ProPanel will ensure the cones self-center into the holes.
5. Read the Hole-to-Hole distance on the readout.
6. If you need to recalibrate with the cones installed:
a. Press the DATUM key to clear the readout.
b. Close the moving carriage so the edge of the cones touch.
c. Press the F1 key until the #2 superscript appears.
d. The reading should equal 1.500 inches.
Note: Videos showing how these measurements are made are posted at web
