Product Overview
Starrett 798 Electronic Slide Calipers provide an IP67 level of protection against coolant, water, chips, dirt, dust, and other contaminants in hostile shop environments. 798B models include an RS232 output port for data transmission with Starrett DataSure® wireless systems or traditional cables. 798A tools do not include output but are otherwise identical to the 798B. Available with measuring capacities to 12" (300mm), these full-featured electronic slide calipers are built with customary Starrett quality and workmanship.
What is IP67 Protection
The IP Code (International Protection Rating) also referred to as the Ingress Protection Rating consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter. The first number refers to the protection against solid objects and the second number refers to the protection against liquids. An IP67 protection level tells the purchaser that the product is totally protected against dust and can withstand immersion in water under defined conditions of pressure for 30 minutes.
What is DataSure
Starrett Datasure® Wireless Data Collection Systems provide exceptionally reliable data collection with transmission confirmation at the tool and single tool range to about 80 feet. Flexible and scalable, DataSure® systems can accommodate multiple tools and range to 3,000 feet.
