The indicators have an intuitive design and layout that’s easy to learn and use, in addition to positive, tactile-feel button activation and a large, easy to read LCD display. Selectable resolution models, fixed ratio measurement systems, one micron resolution and metric-only versions are also available. Models feature long battery life, but are also rechargeable, have origin set and zero set, counting direction switching (±), true absolute sensor technology in 2900-1 and 2900-6 models, are compatible with 25 series indicator backs, and all indicators are CE compliant.
