1. Your UW-Calipers at a glance

The Zebra-Tech UW-Calipers are rugged field calipers designed to operate

accurately and reliably in harsh environments and underwater to a depth

of 40 meters.

At the push of a button the UW-Calipers record the caliper measurement,

together with the time and date as well as depth if the optional depth

sensor is installed.

Data collected by the UW-Calipers can be offloaded onto a PC and then

simply opened in an Excel spreadsheet.

3. Charging your UW-Calipers

Unscrew the charging/coms cap from the end of the calipers.

Push on the charging plug. Tighten the locking sleeve.

Plug the charger into mains power; the red ‘Power’LED should be

continuously illuminated. For the first minute, the green ‘Ready’LED

should flash. This indicates the battery status is being tested. After one

minute the green ‘Ready’LED will stop flashing while the red ‘Charge’LED

will remain illuminated.

When charging is complete, the red ‘Charge’LED will go off, and the green

‘Ready’LED will flash (trickle charge).

After charging, disconnect the charger from the mains power.

Disconnect the charging cable from the UW-Calipers.

Clean and re-grease the O ring on the charging/coms cap.

Screw the cap back onto the UW-Caliper. Do not over tighten.

4. Operating your UW-Calipers

Switching On

Simply press the blue button to switch on your UW-Calipers. The green

light will light up briefly and the current caliper measurement will be

displayed.

Switching Off

The calipers automatically switch off if the outer jaw is not moved for

5 minutes.

Taking a measurement

Open the outer jaw of the UW-Caliper wider than the object being

measured. Then gently close the jaws on the object.

The UW-Calipers are calibrated for measuring on a closing jaw action. If

the jaw movement directly prior to a measurement is in the opening

direction, then the accuracy of the measurement will be reduced.

Logging a measurement

By simply pressing and releasing the blue button, the current caliper

measurement is logged, together with the current time and date, and the

water depth if the calipers incorporate the optional pressure sensor.

If your caliper has 2 buttons, whichever button is pressed is logged in the

data file. This enables measurement differentiation. For example, you can

differentiate between 2 species, or length and width measurements.

A break in the data file can be created by logging a closed jaw or fully open

jaw measurement. For example, if measurements are being made along a

transect, a zero measurement can be logged at the end of the transect.

This can then be identified in the data file.

Tare the UW-Calipers

When the calipers are gently closed, they should display 0.0mm. If they

don’t, they can be tarred by pressing and holding the blue button. After

10 seconds ‘Tare’should appear on the display. The blue button can then

be released.

5. Communicating with your UW-Calipers

Installing UW-Caliper software onto a PC

The UW-Calipers are supplied with a flash drive that carries the file ‘Install

UW-Caliper version #’.Simply double clicking this file should start the

installer which handles the installation of the software onto the PC.

The latest version of the software can also be downloaded from the Zebra-

Tech web site http://www.zebra-tech.co.nz/downloads

Connecting the UW-Caliper to a computer

Unscrew the charging/coms cap from the end of the calipers.

Push on the communication cable plug, and tighten the locking sleeve.

Plug the USB connector into the PC, and start ‘UW-Caliper’software.

NOTE!

It is recommended that the UW-Caliper software is

installed BEFORE the calipers are connected to the PC for

the first time.
