INTRODUCTION
This instrument is a portable easy to use 3½ digit, compact-sized digital "ferrous" or "non-ferrous"
coating thickness gauge designed for simply one hand operation. Meter comes with backlight LCD
display, Data Logging function and Auto Power Off (30 seconds approx.) to extend battery life.
CAUTION
•
Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or near a static electrical charge, as these may
cause errors.
•
Do not use the unit where it may be exposed to corrosive or explosive
gases. The unit may be damaged, or explosion may occur.
•
Do not keep or use this unit in an environment where it will be directly
illuminated by sunshine, or where it condensation. If you do, it may be deformed, its insulation
may be damaged, or it may no longer function according to specification.
•
Do not place the meter on or around hot objects (70°C/158°F). It may cause damage to the case.
•
If the meter is exposed to significant changes in ambient temperature, allow 30 minutes for
temperature stabilization, before taking measurement.
•
If the meter continues to use over one minute, the accuracy of the measurement of the higher
thickness will become degraded. But the meter is still within its specified accuracy.
•
Condensation may form on the sensor when going from a cold to hot environment. Wait for 10
minutes for condensation to dissipate before taking measurements.
•
This unit is not constructed to be waterproof or dust proof. Do not use it in a wet or very dusty
environment.
•
In order to take accurate measurement, make sure the sensing tip contacts the coated surface
tightly without tilting.
•
Please make sure there is no air bubbles between substrate and coating.
•
Substrate zeroing calibration must be implemented for each use.
•
Two point calibration is suggested to implement for frequent testing points to increase measuring
accuracy.
