4. Maintenance
Store the micrometer in a dry environment when not in use for long periods of time to avoid corrosion of the
metallic parts.
Do not close the spindle when not in use, maintain separation to avoid seizing / corrosion.
Do not use aggressive products (alcohol, trichloroethylene or others) to clean the plastic parts. Do not store the
micrometer in areas which are exposed to sun, heat or humidity.
5. Switching ON, initialisation
After pressing any button, the device displays «--SET--» for the initiation of the reference point.
Bring the spindle on to the anvil (0-25mm) or on to the corresponding setting gauge. Press [SET] again to set
the reference point, the device is ready for use.

12
6. Standby
This reduced consumption mode works without the loss of the reference position. Standby mode activates
after 10 minutes of no use, or by holding the [SET] button until the screen goes blank.
Standby mode deactivates on detected movement, button pressing or communicating with Bluetooth de-
vices.
7. Full Switch OFF
To switch the device fully off, press and hold the [SET] button until the device shows (--OFF--).
In this state no data is maintained and therefore the reference position is lost. The (--SET--) message will be
displayed again during next use (See switching ON).

8. Description of the menu system
The [MODE] button cycles through different menus / functions, while the [FAV] button cycles the selections
in each menu.
After 5 second of inactivity, the device returns to displaying the current measurement.
9. Preset mode
Pre-set allows for a value other than zero to be the reference point.
Use [MODE] to cycle to the «--PRE--» menu and press the [FAV] button to activate. Press the [SET] button to
cycle the flashing value, press the [FAV] button to move to the next value. Once the pre-set value has been
entered, press the [MODE] button to confirm.

14
Holding the [SET] button for 2 seconds assigns the pre-set value to the current spindle location.
10. Reset, recall of the preset
11. Changing unit (mm/inch)
Hold the [MODE] button down to enter the advanced menu with «--units--» appearing first on the list. Press
the [FAV] button to switch between «--mm--» and «--inch--» and the [SET] button to apply.

E

14. Favourite keys
The [FAV] button can be used as a shortcut to one predefined function. To change the shortcut, press and hold the
[FAV] button until «--0data--»appears, use [FAV] button to cycle through functions and [SET] to select a function.
Validation of selection: By a prolonged press on [FAV] Key or a short press on [SET]or [MODE].
Note :
- A function can also be assigned via RS232 using the command <FCT + Function No.> (FCT 0..9 A..F)
