Setup

Before first use, or after replacing the battery, follow these steps:

1. Battery Installation:
   • Locate the battery compartment cover on the digital unit.
   • Slide or unclip the cover to open.
   • Insert one CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
   • Close the battery compartment cover securely.
2. Power On: Press the ON/OFF button or slide the digital unit along the beam to power on the caliper.
3. Initial Zeroing:
   • Close the measuring jaws completely.
   • Press the ZERO button. The display should read "0.000" or "0.00".
   • If the display does not zero, ensure the jaws are clean and fully closed, then repeat the process.

Operating Instructions

Follow these instructions for accurate measurements:

1. Selecting Units

Press the INCH/MM button to switch between imperial (inches) and metric (millimeters) units. The selected unit will be indicated on the digital display.

2. Taking Measurements

Always ensure the caliper jaws are clean before taking a measurement.

• External Measurement:
  • Open the large measuring jaws and place the object between them.
  • Close the jaws firmly but gently onto the object using the thumb roller.
  • Read the measurement on the digital display.
• Internal Measurement:
  • Insert the small measuring jaws into the opening of the object.
  • Open the jaws until they firmly contact the inner surfaces.
  • Read the measurement on the digital display.
• Depth Measurement:
  • Place the end of the caliper beam on the top surface of the object.
  • Extend the depth rod into the hole or recess until it touches the bottom.
  • Read the measurement on the digital display.
• Step Measurement:
  • Place the end of the fixed jaw on the higher surface of the step.
  • Extend the movable jaw until its end touches the lower surface of the step.
  • Read the measurement on the digital display.

3. Zeroing at Any Point (Relative Measurement)

The ZERO button can be used to set the display to zero at any point along the measuring range. This is useful for differential measurements or setting a reference point.

1. Position the jaws at the desired reference point.
2. Press the ZERO button. The display will show "0.000" or "0.00".
3. Subsequent measurements will be relative to this new zero point.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your caliper.

• Cleaning:
  • Wipe the caliper clean with a dry, soft cloth after each use.
  • Do not use solvents or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the finish or electronic components.
  • Ensure no dust or debris accumulates on the measuring surfaces or the beam.
• Storage:
  • Store the caliper in its supplied protective case when not in use.
  • Keep it in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity.
  • Avoid storing the caliper with the jaws fully closed or fully open to prevent stress on the mechanism. Leave a small gap.
• Battery Replacement:
  • When the display becomes dim or erratic, replace the CR2032 battery.
  • Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the "Setup" section.
  • Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations.
