Operating Instructions

1. Zeroing the Caliper

Before taking any measurement, ensure the caliper is properly zeroed for accuracy.

1. Close the measuring jaws completely, ensuring they are clean and free of debris.
2. Press the ZERO button. The display should now read "0.00mm" or "0.000in".
3. The caliper can be zeroed at any point along its travel to measure relative distances.

3. Taking Measurements

The Neoteck Digital Caliper supports four types of measurements:

• External Measurement:

  Place the object between the external measuring jaws. Gently close the jaws until they make firm contact with the object. Read the measurement on the LCD display.

• Internal Measurement:

  Insert the internal measuring jaws into the opening of the object. Open the jaws until they make firm contact with the inner surfaces. Read the measurement on the LCD display.

• Depth Measurement:

  Place the end of the main beam on the top surface of the object. Extend the depth rod into the hole or recess until its end touches the bottom. Read the measurement on the LCD display.
• Step Measurement:

  Place the step measuring face of the caliper against the higher surface of the step. Extend the movable jaw until its step measuring face rests on the lower surface. Read the measurement on the LCD display.

4. Locking a Measurement

To hold a measurement for later reading or transfer:

• Once the desired measurement is achieved, tighten the locking screw located on the top of the slider. This will prevent the jaws from moving.
• Loosen the screw to release the jaws.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the accuracy and longevity of your digital caliper.

• Cleaning: Keep the caliper clean and dry. Wipe the measuring surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth after each use. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the caliper in its protective plastic case when not in use to prevent damage from impacts or dust.
• Battery Replacement: Replace the LR44 battery when the display becomes dim or shows a low battery indicator. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for instructions.
• Avoid Force: Do not apply excessive force to the jaws or drop the caliper, as this can affect its accuracy.
