FAQs

What type of battery does this caliper use?

This digital caliper uses one 1.5v SR44 battery, which is included in the package.

How do I switch between millimeters and inches?

Press the 'mm/in' button located on the digital display unit to toggle between metric (mm) and imperial (inch) measurements.

Can this caliper measure depth as well as external and internal dimensions?

Yes, the design of the vernier caliper allows for the measurement of external dimensions, internal dimensions, and step/depth measurements.

How do I reset the measurement to zero?

Ensure the jaws are closed or set to your desired zero point, then press the 'ZERO' button on the display unit.

Is the conversion chart accurate?

The conversion chart provides standard metric-to-imperial conversions for common measurements within the caliper's range. Always double-check critical conversions.

How should I clean the caliper?

Wipe the caliper with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid getting moisture into the electronic components. Store in the case when not in use.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty information, as it is not detailed in the provided product description.

Troubleshooting

Display is blank or not turning on.

Ensure the 1.5v SR44 battery is correctly inserted and has sufficient charge. Check the battery contacts for corrosion and clean if necessary.

Inaccurate readings.

Verify the jaws are clean and free of debris. Ensure the locking thumb screw is not interfering with jaw movement. Check for any damage to the measuring surfaces. For critical applications, consider recalibration.

Jaws are stiff or do not move smoothly.

Clean the sliding surfaces of the caliper with a dry cloth. If necessary, apply a small amount of suitable lubricant to the slide mechanism, wiping away any excess.

Unit display is incorrect (e.g., always in mm when inch is desired).

Press the 'ABS/ZERO' or 'mm/in' button on the display unit to cycle through measurement modes and select the desired unit.
