MICRO Driver Unit can be used to retract and 
deploy your Power-Pole MICRO anchor.

• While pressing the ANCHOR FORCE button, also press 

the UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the anchor force

NOTE:

 

Anchoring force does not relate to stopping power.

Orange LED lights appear above indicator bars to show 
levels of battery charge. Each bar represents 20% of charge. 

Calibrating Your MICRO Driver Unit

For proper operation your MICRO Driver Unit must be calibrated to your spike. The Driver 
Unit will read the length and surface smoothness of your spike and calibrate the distance and 
pressure required for proper anchoring force. 

IMPORTANT:

  

The Micro Driver Unit must have 21” inches between it and the ground for 
accurate calibration 

Calibration Instructions 

(FIG. 2)

1. Insert the spike into the MICRO Driver Unit.
2. Press the ANCHOR FORCE and BATTERY LEVEL buttons on the top of the 

unit at the same time. The driver unit will automatically start the calibration 
process.

3. The unit will cycle the spike up and down for 30 to 60 seconds. 

NOTE: 

 

Do not touch the driver unit or spike during the calibration process.

 

4.  Once the calibration is complete the programming LED will return 

to flashing green. Your MICRO Driver Unit is now ready for use.

21” of 

clearance is 

required 

to calibrate
