Disconnect any USB, RS-232, or Bluetooth transmitter. Power cycle the caliper (remove battery, wait 10 seconds, reinsert).
If the code clears, slide the jaw slowly to see if it reads coordinates smoothly. 2. Clean the Measuring Beam and Scale mitutoyo caliper error code e--05
If the display shows flashing dashes or still shows the error, press and hold the button for more than one second to reset the datum. 2. Clean the Measuring Scale Disconnect any USB, RS-232, or Bluetooth transmitter
Before inserting the new battery, wipe it clean with a dry cloth to remove oils from your fingers. 4. Adjust the Slider Gibs (Advanced) Clean the Measuring Scale Before inserting the new
Unlike generic "low battery" warnings or simple zero-setting errors, E--05 on a Mitutoyo caliper specifically indicates a This code appears most frequently on models featuring Absolute (ABS) linear encoder technology, such as the popular Absolute Digimatic series (e.g., 500-196-30). The "synchronous" aspect refers to the communication between the sensor head (the moving slider) and the scale (the etched glass or metal strip within the beam). When the caliper displays E--05, it means the internal electronic system has detected a loss of synchronization between these two components. In practical terms, the caliper cannot reliably determine the absolute position of the jaw, making all subsequent measurements potentially incorrect.
