User Manual for Microtech Micron Computerized Multi-Force Caliper

Quick Guide from the Manual

The Microtech Micron Computerized Multi-Force Caliper is a precision measuring instrument featuring an electronic multi-force control module (1-20N), wireless and USB data transfer, and various advanced measurement modes. To switch the device on, push the button for 1 second; to switch off, push for 3 seconds. Always clean measuring surfaces with a cloth before use and ensure the device is charged to prevent internal battery failure.

Technical Data

The device features a 2.0-inch color LED display with a resolution of 320x240. It is powered by a rechargeable Li-Pol battery (400 mAh) and can be charged via micro-USB or a magnetic port. The case is constructed from aluminium.

Correct Measuring

Proper measurement technique is critical for accuracy. Ensure the caliper jaws are positioned correctly against the workpiece. Avoid tilting the caliper during measurement. Refer to the visual guides in the manual for correct versus incorrect positioning of the jaws.

Force Control

The electronic multi-force control module allows for consistent measurement force between 1-20N. Force modes include:

• DISABLE: Force mode is off.
• INDICATE: Displays requested force and status on the force bar.
• AUTO: Indicates requested force and saves the length value to memory upon reaching the target force.
• FORCE: Indicates actual force value during pushing.

The force bar uses color coding: Green (Force OK), Yellow (Lower Force), and Red (Over Force).

Main Screen and Navigation

The main screen displays the last measured value, connection status (Wireless/USB), analog scale, and memory status. You can activate Standard or Folder memory systems via the Memory menu. Data can be saved by touching the data area on the screen or pressing the button.

Functions

The device includes several advanced functions accessible via the menu:

• LIMITS mode (GO/NOGO): Set upper and lower limits for pass/fail inspection.
• PEAK mode (MAX/MIN/MODULE/RANGE): Track maximum and minimum values.
• TIMER mode: Set a timer period for data saving or sending.
• FORMULA mode: Select math, radius, or other formulas.
• RESOLUTION selection: Adjust resolution and toggle between mm/inch.
• LINEAR error compensation: Recalculate detail size to calibration conditions (20°C).
• TEMP compensation: Adjust for material types (Glass, Quartz, Stainless steel, Cuprum, Aluminium).

Data Transfer

The caliper supports wireless data transfer to the MDS App (Android, iOS, Windows) and HID mode for direct transfer to any application as a keyboard input. USB OTG data transfer is also available by connecting a USB cable to a PC.

Settings and Maintenance

Access the Extra menu to reset the device to factory settings (push 10 times) or perform firmware updates. You can also manage calibration dates and view device info, including firmware version and MAC address for wireless connections.
