FRACTIONAL SETTINGS When your calculator is in a default condition (battery change or full reset), it is set to round fractional values to the nearest 1/64th of an inch. However, you may program your preference for six different accuracy levels and two different modes (Normal and Fixed), all of which remain in permanent memory until revised or reset.
PREFERENCE FEATURE The Ultra Measure Master provides Preference Settings that allow you to set fractional accuracy and display features. The preference settings are displayed using ® /. Repeated presses of / toggle through the different settings while the + and – keys are used for revision. These settings remain set until they are changed or the calculator is reset.
Setting Fractional Accuracy KEYSTROKES DISPLAY 1. Access the Preference Feature: ®/ NM 1/64 (Note “1/64” flashing) 2. Scroll through preference options: / NM 1/64 INCH (Note “nm” flashing) / EXP On / FLSH OFF 3. Change fraction setting to 1/8: / NM 0-1/64 INCH + NM 0-1/2 INCH + NM 0-1/4 INCH + NM 0-1/8 INCH 4.
USING EXPONENTIAL NOTATION Your calculator is defaulted to have exponential notation set to “on.” Therefore, any integer value exceeding seven digits will display in exponential format. When exponential notation is deactivated, the calculator adjusts dimensioned values to a higher unit when the display limit is exceeded (known as Auto-Ranging). i.e., “10,000,000 mm” exceeds the seven-digit display, so “10,000 m” is displayed.
SETTING FLASHING DENOMINATOR Your calculator can be set to flash the fractional denominator while fractions are entered. The flashing denominator is useful as it displays the fractional accuracy setting. KEYSTROKES DISPLAY 1. Access the Preference feature: ®/ NM 1/64 (Note “1/64” flashing) 2. Scroll through Preference options: / NM 1/64 (Note “nm” flashing) / EXP ON / FLSH OFF 3. Change flashing denominator setting: + FLSH ON Note: Continuous presses of + toggles between On and Off.
BASIC MATH OPERATIONS Your calculator uses standard chaining logic which simply means that you enter your first value, the operator (+, –, x, ÷), the second value and then the equals sign (=). A. B. C. D. 3 3 3 3 + – x ÷ 2 2 2 2 = = = = 5 1 6 1.5 This feature also makes the calculator simple to use for dimensional math.
(Cont’d) 4) The format of the first value you enter determines the format of the answer. However, you can use the Ç key to change to any format desired, provided that you maintain convention. Examples: KEYSTROKES DISPLAY 1. Add 7 feet 3-1/2 inches to 11 feet 4 inches: 7f3i1/2+ 1 1 f 4 i = 18 FEET 7-1/2 INCH 2. Add 25 PSF to 12 PSI: 25sd+12sl= 1753 PSF 3. Add 14 gallons to 52 liters: 1 4 g + 5 2 L = 27.73695 GL 4. Subtract 450 acres from 5 square km: 5SK–450s5= 3.178915 SQ kM 5.
(Cont’d) 2) You cannot multiply or divide two numbers that have different units of measurement or different conventions, except for weight and volume. 3) You can multiply and divide numbers when their units of measurement are within or between the linear and area conventions. For example, you can multiply kilometers by square feet, which will give you cubic kilometers. 4) The format of the first value you enter determines the format of the answer.
Percent Calculations The percent key % can be used to find a percentage of a number or for working add-on, discount or division percentage calculations. 3 2 2 1 55 50 5 00 x + – ÷ 15 % 6•5 % 5 % 50 % 53.25 266.25 23.75 200. MEMORY OPERATION The Ultra Measure Master has ten storage registers (0 through 9). Memory 0 is a cumulative memory which operates similar to a standard µ key, while the other memories are used for storage only.

“PAPERLESS TAPE” FEATURE The “Paperless Tape” feature allows the user to display the last 20 entries. While in this mode, the display looks similar to this: A B C A - the sequence number of entry (01 - 1st entry, 02 - 2nd entry, etc.) B - the math operator (+, –, x, ÷, %) C - the entered or calculated value How to Use the Paperless Tape KEYSTROKES DISPLAY 1. Clear calculator and enter a string of numbers: oo 0. 4f+ 4 FEET 0 INCH 5f+ 9 FEET 0 INCH 6f+ 15 FEET 0 INCH 7f= 22 FEET 0 INCH 2.

Exit Tape function and add more: =* TTL= 22 FEET 0 INCH + 22 FEET 0 INCH 2f= 24 FEET 0 INCH * Note: At this point, you can press any key besides O, + or –. When you press a key to exit the tape, the calculator will display the total value of the tape. The next key press will begin a new tape function.
USING THE ULTRA MEASURE MASTER ENTERING DIMENSIONS AND UNITS When entering feet-inch dimensional values, you must enter the largest dimension first — feet before inches, inches before fractions. To enter fractions of an inch, enter the numerator (value above the line), press / (fraction bar key) and then enter the denominator (value below the line). numerator fraction bar denominator 3 — 16 For all other units of measurement, you can only enter whole numbers or decimal numbers.

APPENDIX ACCURACY/ERRORS Accuracy/Display Capacity Your calculator has an eleven digit display. This is made up of seven digits (normal display) and four digits for the fraction. In a standard calculation, each calculation is carried out internally to ten digits and rounded to a seven-digit standard display. A 5/4 rounding technique is used to add 1 to the least significant digit in the display if the next non-displayed digit is five or more. If this digit is less than five, no rounding occurs.
Auto-Range If an “overflow” is created because of an input and calculation with small units that are out of the standard seven-digit range of the display, the answer will be automatically expressed in the next larger units (instead of showing “ERROR”) — i.e., “10,000,000 mm” cannot be displayed because it is out of the seven-digit display, so “10,000 m” will be displayed instead. This auto-ranging also applies to other dimensional units, such as inches to feet, and feet to yards, etc.
