How to turn off a mitutoyo digital caliper code no 500-115
The Mitutoyo 500-115 caliper does not have an off button. It automatically shuts off after two hours of non use. Very frustrating since after just a few times of using the calipers 6+ hours of time has been used on the battery and consequently it doesn't last long. I am in the middle of adding a switched battery holder to my calipers. I have already milled a channel for the wires and tomorrow I do some soldering and two sided 3M tape to mount it to the back. The switched holder is Adafruit 12mm Coin Cell Breakout w/On-Off Switch [ADA1867]. The battery you should use is 1.55V Number 390 (Energizer). We'll see how this turns out. Sick of putting batteries in it. Go figure total cost of all of this is around $15 which includes a new 390 cell from the hardware store. That's about 5 years worth of batteries. Maybe it's the principle of it. At lease now if/when I do replace the battery, no disassembly required.

Try first no cable and also change battery as general solution. Second is to test does button for zero works well or give contact unpressed.
E--05 code.
New battery and now
E-05 is an error for the rotor distancing problem. Using a small philips screwdriver remove the screws on the electronic faceplate. DO NOT PULL THE PLATE OFF. It will be attached by a thin ribbon cable that is easily torn, let it dangel. Underneath that, up where the spindel travels through, you should see the rotor (small round disc on the spindle) the stator (where the ribbon cable goes), and a sleeve. There should be very little gap between the rotor and stator. The way to fix this is with the screw to the very left, black piece, where the spindle exits towards the measuring surfaces. There is a little flat-head set screw that hold a spring loaded sleeve. Loosen that screw a bit and the sleeve should snap out and press everything together. Then, while it is still loose, use a second small flat head and wedge a little gap between the sleeve and the rotor, not much. Tighten the set screw back down. The gap needs to be as tight as it can while still allowing the rotor to spin when the thimble is turned. Once that is achieved, close it all up.
Error code
I had the same problem.I think oil or coolant got into the buttons,causing an electrical problem. I took the battery out and put a couple of drops of alcohol on the buttons and inside battery compartment,then blew it out really good leaving the battery out and drying under a light for about an hour.
E5 error code
Have you tried removing the battery, and blowing some light air into the compartment, to remove the dust and dirt? Mine had an error and that is what solved my error message! Hope this helps
