Materials Needed:
•MIC TRAC™ MT-3000 base unit •5/32" hex wrench
•Gagemaker pivot arm gage •30 in/lb torque wrench
•Pivot arm fixture (TF-VB Block) and cap screws •Cloth
•Contact point extension and contact point (certain gage styles) •ZEP I.D. Red cleaner
•Flat face anvil (TF-1F Block) and cap screws
1. Inspect the gage visually as follows:
•Check for damage and excessive wear.
•Check for clear bezel, legible dial face.
•Inspect for proper function of the bezel
adjustment and lock.
•Check for smoothness of travel by
depressing the indicator shaft throughout
the entire travel range. Any indicators with
restricted movement must be repaired prior
to calibration.
2. Clean both of the receiver pads and mounting
surfaces of the flat face anvil using the cloth
and ZEP I.D. Red cleaner.
3. Place the shoulder side of the flat face anvil
against the left receiver pad shoulder.

4. While holding the anvil against the receiver pad
shoulder, insert the two cap screws into the
holes on either side of the anvil.
5. While applying pressure toward the receiver
pad shoulder, use a 5/32" hex wrench to
slightly tighten the screws.
6. Use a 30 in/lbs torque wrench to secure the
cap screws.
7. Clean the mounting surfaces of the pivot arm
fixture using the cloth and ZEP I.D. Red
cleaner.
8. Place the pivot arm fixture against the right
receiver pad shoulder.

9. Insert the two cap screws into the holes on
either side of the pivot arm fixture.
10. While applying pressure toward the receiver
pad shoulder, use a 5/32" hex wrench to
tighten the screws.
11. Make the necessary adjustments to the pivot
arm gage for calibration.
For example: Different styles of pivot arm
gages may require alterations such as,
inserting a contact point extension and contact
point into the base of the pivot arm or removing
the clamp extension from the clamp arm.
12. Insert the pivot arm into the slot of the pivot
arm fixture and tighten the cap screws on the
side of the fixture to secure.
Note: MRP-1000 Upper Arm point must contact
the lower portion of TF-1F block as shown
at right.

Materials Needed:
•MIC TRAC™ MT-3000 base unit and CPU
readout
•1/16" hex wrench
•Seiko printer (optional)
•5/64” hex wrench
•Gagemaker pivot arm or thread height gage •
Lightweight gage oil
•5/32" hex wrench
•It is recommended to use a .0005” resolution
indicator.
•Gage Calibration Record
1. On the front panel of the CPU, press the INT
(internal measurement) pad.
2. Press the ZERO pad on the CPU panel twice.
The readout displays 0.00000.
3. Turn the fine adjust knob clockwise until the
indicator reads the first calibration value.
Note: If you pass the calibration value, turn the
needle back and approach the value again,
from the same direction. This practice will
increase the accuracy of the calibration.

shaft until the indicator and the CPU reading
are the same.
6. Make sure the indicator (stem) and the point
extension stay aligned to each other.
7. Turn the fine adjust knob clockwise until the
indicator reads the first calibration value.
8. If you have a Seiko Printer attached to your
MIC TRAC for printing a permanent record of
calibration measurements, press the PRINT
pad on the CPU panel.
9. Record any deviations on the Gage Calibration
Record or in-house calibration report. Continue
with remaining measurements at every .025”
for the full travel of the indicator.
10. Accuracy = +/- .0005” on the dial indicator.

the flat face anvil and the pivot arm fixture from
the MT-3000. Oil the fixtures and return them to
the storage case.
