1. Operating features of the instrument
- The instrument has two operating modes: rst level functions (direct
access) and second level functions. (see chaps. 3 and 4)
- The «favourite» key gives direct access to one of the most used func-
tions (see chap. 5)
- Sets a Preset value, reset the MIN/MAX mode, applies a selection and
controls switching off the instrument. By default, SIS mode enables au-
tomatic switch-off without any loss of origin (see chap. 7).
1.1 Personalising the functions
It is possible to activate or de-activate some functions of the instrument (see
chap. 9)
1.2 Data transmission parameters

3.1 Automatic references
The instrument has the ability to switch automatically between its two references.
This allows using the caliper for both internal and external measuring without
going through the menu to change the reference.
Steps :
On Ref 1
• Introduce a measurement standard as preset, measure this standard and
do a preset recall
• Or set the zero at closed jaws position
On Ref 2
• Measure the internal measurement probes gap (with a caliper, probes
included) and introduce it as preset value
• Do a preset recall at closed jaws position
Set Auto
It is now possible to measure in REF1 when closing the jaws or in REF2 when
opening the jaws.
Remark: for the reference change to work, it is necessary to make a displacement
>0.2mm in the opposite direction.
3.2. Insert tolerance limits

The connection procedure has been designed to be simple and is signalled by
the following three states:
1° Symbol off................disconnected mode.
2° Symbol blinking .......advertising mode.
3° Symbol on .............. connected mode.
3.3. Bluetooth® conguration
The following options can be selected to control the Bluetooth®module.
On Enable Bluetooth®module (start advertising mode).
OFF Disable Bluetooth®module (terminate active connection).
rESEt Clear pairing information.
MAC Display the MAC (Media Access Control) address.
Three Bluetooth® proles are available.
SIMPLE Prole without pairing (default).
PAIr Paired and secured prole.
HId Virtual keyboard mode (compatible with recent equipement without
driver installation).
Note:
Pairing information are erased while prole is switched.
Note :
- In case of internal measurements, you can cross the indicators by reversing
the order of entering the tolerance intervals (upper interval < lower interval)
- It is possible to introduce different tolerance limits on REF1 and REF2.
- It is also possible to display the tolerance limits when the instrument is working
in MIN, MAX or DELTA (TIR) mode
....... Input the lower tolerance limit (e.g. +0019.90 for 20-0.1mm)
.......Input the upper tolerance limit (e.g. +0020.10 for 20+0.1mm)

Connection:
1° Activate Bluetooth®compatible software and hardware (Master : PC,
Display Unit).
2° Start the instrument. By default the Bluetooth®module is active and
the instrument is available for connection (advertising mode).
3° If no connnection is established during the advertisement period, rea-
ctivate the Bluetooth®module using the bt /On menu.
4° Instrument is ready to communicate (connected mode.)
Only with paired prole :
Pairing with master is automatically done at rst connection.
To connect the instrument to a new master (new pairing), pairing information on
the instrument must be cleared using the bt / rESEt menu.

6. Adjustment and use of IntE dynamic measuring mode
MODE
SET
Certain applications need to adjust the instrument to the MIN (or MAX) measured
value. In this case, proceed as follows :
6.1 Adjustment of the instrument
• In REF1, enter a Preset value corresponding to the actual size of the standard.
• Within IntE menu, choose the +AMIN mode (set DIR- and MIN mode) or
+AMAX mode (set DIR+ and MAX mode) depending on the measuring case.
Make a standard measurement (going through the turnaround point)
• Adjust the instrument by selecting the SEt menu and pressing on the button
• The instrument is adjusted and ready to measure.

7. Extinction
The instrument goes automatically into stand-by if not used for 10 minutes, unless
automatic switch-off mode (menu OFF) is set on manual (see Chap. 4)
Stand-by mode can be forced by a prolonged press (> 2 sec) on
SET
MODE
The initial instrument settings can be restored at any time by a prolonged press
(>4 sec) simultaneously on and until the message rESEt is displayed.
Nevertheless the instrument retains its conguration settings (preset, unit or multipli-
cation factor lock)
In stand-by mode, the value of the origin is retained by the sensor (SIS mode),
and the instrument automatically restarts with any movement of the measure-
ment probe, RS command, Bluetooth®request or press of any button.
The instrument can be switched off completely for a long period of non-use,
but this will require a zero reset on restart (the origin will be lost)

8. Re-initialising the instrument
9. Personalising the instrument
Access to the menus and functions of your instrument can be personalised
