Caliper INSIZE 1117-502 digital 500 mm, 3V battery, ABS output, data port, 150 mm jaws, dual-scale

The INSIZE 1117-502 digital caliper is a precision measuring tool with a 500 mm measuring range and 150 mm jaws. It runs on a 3V battery and provides ABS output and a data port for easy transfer of measurement results to external devices. The caliper supports dual-scale readout (metric and imperial) and can perform inside, outside, depth and step measurements, making it suitable for workshop use, quality control and precision mechanical tasks.

Advantages

The caliper combines a long 500 mm measuring range with compact 150 mm jaws for detailed work on smaller features. Battery-powered operation and ABS (absolute) output preserve zero setting when the unit is switched off, while the data port enables reliable digital data transfer for documentation or further analysis. Dual-scale display makes it convenient for users who need both metric and imperial units in mixed environments.

Suitable for

• Workshop measurement of shafts, holes and components
• Quality control and inspection tasks requiring traceable readings
• Precision mechanical assembly and maintenance
• Educational and training environments where metric and imperial units are used

When it may not be suitable

This digital caliper is designed for general workshop and inspection use rather than for extremely high-precision laboratory metrology where specialized instruments (e.g., gauge blocks, micrometers with higher resolution and calibration certificates) may be required. It is not intended for continuous immersion in liquids or exposure to heavy contaminants without appropriate protection.

Key specifications

• Measuring range: 500 mm
• Jaw length: 150 mm
• Power supply: 3V battery
• Display: digital dual-scale (metric and imperial)
• Measurement functions: outside, inside, depth, step
• Data connectivity: ABS output and data port for external transfer

How to use

Switch on the caliper and zero it on a clean, closed jaw position if required. Select the desired unit (mm or inch) on the display, then position the jaws or depth probe on the feature to be measured. Read the measurement on the digital display and use the data port to transfer readings to a computer or logger when documentation is needed. Keep the sliding surfaces clean and operate the thumb wheel smoothly for consistent readings.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 500 mm measuring range and 150 mm jaws meet your dimensional requirements
• Verify compatibility of the data output format with your data logging or inspection software
• Consider whether the resolution and accuracy of a digital caliper are sufficient for your tolerance needs

Usage recommendations

Store the caliper in its case when not in use, replace the 3V battery promptly to avoid data loss, and clean measuring faces before each measurement. For best results, avoid applying excessive force to the jaws and periodically check calibration against known standards.
