FAQs
Can I use this caliper to measure parts covered in coolant?
No. Because this device has an IP20 rating, it is not protected against liquids. Exposure to coolant can damage the internal electronics.
What is the measurement range of this tool?
This caliper has a maximum measurement range of 150mm.
Does it measure in inches as well as millimeters?
The device is primarily designed for metric measurement with a 0.01mm resolution.
How do I ensure the measurement is accurate?
Always clean the jaws with a lint-free cloth before use and perform a zero-calibration check with the jaws fully closed.
What type of battery does it use?
It uses a standard CR2032 coin cell battery.
Troubleshooting
Digital display remains blank
Check that the battery is installed with the correct polarity and ensure it is fully charged.
Measurements are inconsistent or erratic
Ensure the measuring faces are completely free of dirt or oil and that the battery is providing a stable voltage.
Display digits flickering
This is often a sign of low battery; replace the CR2032 battery with a new one.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the caliper, insert the provided CR2032 battery into the compartment on the rear of the digital housing. Before taking measurements, ensure the measuring faces are clean; any debris can lead to inaccurate results. Close the jaws completely and press the zero button to calibrate the tool.
Care instructions are vital given the IP20 rating:
- Keep the tool away from coolant, oil spray, and metal filings.
- Store the caliper in its protective case when not in use.
- Periodically wipe the stainless steel beam with a light machine oil to prevent oxidation.
- If the display becomes faint, replace the CR2032 battery immediately to avoid leakage.
