Product Information
Full details
This Moore & Wright Digital Caliper is designed for machinists, engineers, and DIY enthusiasts who need precise measurements. Its key benefit is accurate 4-way measurement with easy zeroing capabilities. A potential caveat is its polycarbonate frame, which may be less durable in very harsh environments compared to metal alternatives. This caliper offers a 0-150mm (0-6in) range with a resolution of 0.01mm, featuring both absolute and incremental measurement modes and a polycarbonate frame.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the range of this digital caliper?
The Moore & Wright Digital Caliper has a measuring range of 0-150mm (0-6 inches).
What is the resolution of this caliper?
The resolution is 0.01mm (0.0005 inches), allowing for very fine measurements.
Can I measure in both millimeters and inches?
Yes, this caliper supports both millimeter (mm) and inch (in) measurement modes, which can be switched using the buttons on the unit.
What does 'absolute/incremental' measurement mean?
Absolute mode displays the measurement from the origin point (zero). Incremental mode allows you to set a new zero point at any position, displaying measurements relative to that new zero.
How do I clean the caliper?
Wipe the caliper with a soft, dry cloth. For dirtier surfaces, use a slightly damp cloth, being careful not to let moisture enter the electronic components.
What type of battery does it use?
It uses one CR2032 lithium coin cell battery, which is included.
Is the polycarbonate frame suitable for all environments?
The polycarbonate frame is durable for general use. However, for extremely harsh industrial environments with potential for severe impact or chemical exposure, a metal-cased caliper might be more suitable.
Troubleshooting
Display is blank or not turning on.
Check that the CR2032 battery is correctly installed and has power. Try replacing it with a new battery. Ensure the power switch or buttons are being pressed correctly.
Inaccurate or inconsistent readings.
Ensure the measuring surfaces (jaws) are clean and free from debris. Make sure the caliper is properly zeroed before taking measurements. Check for any damage to the jaws or the sliding mechanism. Verify that you are using the correct measurement mode (mm/inch).
Display shows erratic numbers or symbols.
This may indicate a low battery or interference. Replace the battery. Try sliding the caliper jaws fully closed and re-zeroing. If the issue persists, the unit may need servicing.
Buttons are unresponsive.
Clean around the buttons with a dry cloth. If the issue persists after checking the battery, contact the manufacturer for support.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile 4-way measurement (mm/inch, absolute/incremental).
- Easy zeroing function for comparative measurements.
- Lightweight design due to polycarbonate frame.
- Good resolution and accuracy for general-purpose use.
- Includes essential accessories for immediate use.
Cons
- Polycarbonate frame may be less resistant to scratches and impacts than metal.
- Accuracy might be insufficient for ultra-high precision industrial applications.
- Requires a CR2032 battery, which needs periodic replacement.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the caliper is clean before first use.
- Slide open the battery cover on the back of the display unit.
- Insert the included CR2032 battery, observing the correct polarity (+ side up).
- Close the battery cover securely.
- Slide the power switch (if present) or press any button to turn on the display.
- Select the desired measurement mode (mm/inch, absolute/incremental) using the control buttons.
Compatibility:
This is a standalone measuring instrument and does not require software or external device compatibility for basic operation. It measures physical dimensions directly.
Care:
- Keep the caliper clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use.
- For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the electronics.
- Avoid dropping or subjecting the caliper to excessive force, especially on the jaws or the polycarbonate frame.
- Store the caliper in its provided vinyl pouch when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches.
- Remove the battery if the caliper will be stored for an extended period (several months or more) to prevent leakage.
