    MicroCal 20 performs the auto-diagnostic procedure when switched on. When measuring it checks also for anomalous conditions. If the calibrator founds trouble, it displays a message on LCD. Sometimes, these messages correspond to an unrecoverable problem and it is necessary to return the instrument to Eurotron for maintenance. Frequently these messages are referred to a recoverable trouble and can be solved by you.
