MItutoyo sj-210 surf tester keeps saying limit error. What do I do to fix this issue?

    Did you ever get a response to this? I'm having the same issue, but the troubleshooting guide in the user's manual does not list "limit error" as one the issues. For me, after the limit error message clears, I have no problem getting a good reading on a reference standard. If I try to take another reading, however, I get a limit error. When it clears, again, I can take one reading, then the next produces another limit error. No obvious reason or remedy.

    Turn the battery switch to on and unplug. hold down power and start/stop button simultaneously. This will start the homing process. Its in the manual on chapter 15-3 "retracting the detector" do not use a probe extension as this could interfere with the process and ruin your detector

    Trying to do the homing process, but It just keeps saying Escaping and does not fix the limit error issue. Any thoughts?

    after showing limit error watch its interface top side area. If it showing red marked area on the top after putting the drive unit to the surface then You need to change the detector.

No file error on PC after downloading readings taken from mitutoyo sj-210 surface tester? It used to come up with all readings taken any ideas?

There could be several reasons why the file error is occurring on the PC after downloading readings taken from the Mitutoyo SJ-210 surface tester. One possible reason could be that the file format of the downloaded readings is not compatible with the software installed on the PC. The Mitutoyo SJ-210 surface tester typically saves data in a proprietary format, which may require specific software to open and read the files. If the software is not installed or is outdated, it may result in a file error.

Another possible reason could be that there is a problem with the USB cable or port used to transfer the data from the surface tester to the PC. A faulty cable or port can cause data corruption during transfer, resulting in file errors when attempting to open or read the files.

It is also possible that there is an issue with the surface tester itself, such as a malfunctioning sensor or memory card. In such cases, it may be necessary to troubleshoot or repair the device before attempting to download any further readings.

To resolve this issue, it is recommended to check if the software used to open and read the files is up-to-date and compatible with the file format used by Mitutoyo SJ-210 surface tester. It is also advisable to use a high-quality USB cable and ensure that both ends are securely connected. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to seek technical support from Mitutoyo or a qualified technician.
