Can I use the Type 2 components on a Type 1 system?

You can use the scale that came with your Type 1 system but will need to replace both the sensor and the display with Type 2 parts. You will also need a Cat 5E cable and modify the way the sensor is attached to the lift. The best option is to replace the entire system with a new WR525 Type 2 kit.
 
What type of batteries do these readouts use?
The WR525 Type 1 Remote Router Readout uses a CR2032 calculator battery.
The WR525 Type 2 uses 2 AAA batteries.
 

How long does the battery last?

The battery life in the Type 1 should be 6 months or more and the Type 2 will last up to 2 years. The readouts always use some power because they maintain the calibration even when they are turned off. They are actually reading all the time and turning them off only turns off the display so the unit is still using about half the power.
 
How does it read?
All of our readouts use what's called capacitive measuring technology. This is the exact same system that is used in almost all digital calipers that have been on the market for at least 20 years. There is a circuit board on the scale part of the device that has a repeating pattern etched on it. The readout portion has another circuit board with a similar pattern and the rest of the electronics. As the 2 patterns pass over each other there is an electronic signal generated that is converted to distance. The only moving part is the circuit board of the readout passing over the circuit board on the scale. There is no electrical connection between the 2 circuits boards and they do not even touch each other. There are no other mechanical moving parts. This makes the device very reliable and resistant to problems caused by dust.
 
Why aren't the fractions displayed all the time?
The fractions work in a unique but highly accurate manner. The fractions will only display when the decimal reading is within + or - .002" of the fractions decimal equivalent. For example, if the display is reading .740" it will not display the 3/4" ( .750" equivalent) until after the readout passes .745". Internally the readout is actually measuring in .001" increments so that the 3/4" does not turn on until .748" and turns off again at .752" This gives your fraction readings a very high level of accuracy.
 

Does the WR525 Type 2 Remote Router Readout mount the same way as the WR525 Type 1?

The scale for the WR525 Type 2 mounts the same way as the Type 1 however the sensor connects to the lift in a similar but slightly different manner.

 
Many of the photos in our "Will It Fit My?" section show a system that looks different than the WR525 Type 2. Why is that?

Many of the photos are of the Type 1 system. Although there are some small differences in the way the Type 1 and Type 2 systems mount they will both attach to the products shown and to many others.
