FAQs

What is the accuracy of this gauge?

The Intercomp Digital Castor Camber Gauge offers an accuracy of 1/10 of a Degree, providing up to 10 times greater precision than traditional bubble gauges.

How long does the battery last?

A standard 9v battery provides approximately 100 hours of operation.

Can I use this gauge without the magnetic adaptor?

Yes, the gauge can be used without the magnetic adaptor. However, the adaptor provides a more secure and stable mounting solution to the wheel hub.

What is the diagnostic mode for?

The diagnostic mode is used to reset the camber reading to zero, allowing for accurate measurements and setup.

What is the inclinometer mode used for?

The inclinometer mode allows you to measure other angles, such as pinion or strut angles, adding to the tool's versatility beyond standard caster and camber adjustments.

What is the operating temperature range?

While not explicitly stated, digital electronic devices typically perform best within moderate temperature ranges. Avoid extreme heat or cold for optimal performance and longevity.

How do I reset the camber to zero?

Place the gauge on a perfectly flat surface and engage the diagnostic mode. The gauge will then calibrate to zero camber.

Troubleshooting

Gauge does not turn on.

Ensure a fresh 9v battery is correctly installed. Check the battery contacts for cleanliness.

Inaccurate readings.

Verify the gauge is properly zeroed using the diagnostic mode on a flat surface. Ensure the magnetic adaptor (if used) is securely attached and the hub surface is clean. Check for obstructions or damage to the gauge.

Display is dim or unreadable.

Replace the 9v battery. Ensure the backlight function is enabled and not affected by extreme temperatures.

Magnetic adaptor not holding securely.

Ensure the hub surface is clean and free of dirt, grease, or rust. The adaptor magnets may be weakened if exposed to strong impacts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Industry-leading accuracy for precise alignment.
  • Digital display with backlight for clear readability.
  • Multiple modes (caster/camber, diagnostic, inclinometer) offer versatility.
  • Optional magnetic adaptor provides secure and convenient mounting.
  • Durable and lightweight aluminum construction.

Cons

  • Higher cost compared to basic bubble gauges.
  • Requires a 9v battery for operation.
  • May have a learning curve for users unfamiliar with digital angle measurement.
  • Accuracy depends on proper zeroing and usage.
  • Magnetic adaptor is optional and adds to the overall cost.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Install a fresh 9v battery into the battery compartment.
  2. If using the magnetic adaptor, attach it to the gauge securely.
  3. Select the desired reading angle (15° or 20°) using the appropriate setting.
  4. To zero the camber reading, place the gauge on a perfectly flat surface and engage the diagnostic mode.

Compatibility:

This gauge is designed to measure caster and camber angles on most passenger vehicles and light trucks. It is compatible with standard wheel hubs and suspension components. The magnetic adaptor is intended for use on ferrous metal hub surfaces.

Care:

  • Clean the gauge with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Store the gauge in its protective carry case when not in use.
  • Remove the battery if the gauge will be stored for an extended period to prevent corrosion.
  • Handle with care to avoid dropping or subjecting it to excessive shock.
