4 CONNECTING THE PROBE - SEPARATE GAUGES ONLY

5 TAKING A READING

www.elcometer.com5

1 Hold the probe by its sleeve

2 To take a reading, bring the probe down onto the surface whilst holding it perpendicular

3 For subsequent readings, lift the probe off and then replace it onto the surface

4 To accurately assess the surface profile 5-10 readings should be taken over a surface area of

150mm (6 sq. in.). The average of these readings will indicate the surface profile

peak-to-valley height of that area.

4Users can pre-define the number of readings using the counted average function. When in batching

(Model T), press Batch/New Batch/Batch Type, select “Counted Average” and set the number of

readings as required. The average of this pre-defined number will be saved into the batch, but the

individual readings within the counted average are not saved. When not in batching (Model B & T),

press Display/Statistics/Counted Average and set the number of readings as required. When using

counted average, the gauge switches between displaying statistics based on individual readings to

statistics based on the counted average, as each set of reading are taken.

4 The display will dim if inactive for more than 15 seconds and will go ‘black’ if inactive for the

period defined in Menu/Setup/Screen Settings/Screen Timeout. Press any key or tap the

gauge to awaken it.

4 The gauge will switch off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.

4 - - - indicates reading outside range of probe.

DO NOT

•

2 Select “Calibrate” (Model T)

3 Follow the on-screen instructions.

To test calibration (Model T):

1 Press the Cal softkey

2 Select “Test Calibration” and follow the on-screen instructions

3 When prompted, either place the probe on to the glass zero tile or on the centre of the foil

resting on the glass tile, making sure the pin goes through the hole in the centre of the foil.

4 After continued use, the precision manufactured probe tip will wear, increasing the tip size and

will then need to be replaced. This is a user replaceable item. Please contact your Elcometer

sales representative to order new probe tips and tip replacement tool.

7 BATCHING (MODEL T)

1 To use the Batching memory facility, press the Batch softkey

2 Select “New Batch” or “Open Existing Batch” to add readings

3 Copy and review batch data

4 Select “Edit Batch” to rename, clear readings from or delete a batch

5 Fixed Batch Size allows users to pre-define the number of readings to be stored in a batch.

Once all readings have been taken the gauge automatically opens a new batch with a link

to the original batch name. For Example NewBatch_1 becomes NewBatch_2, NewBatch_3, etc.

4Save each reading into memory or store the average of a pre-defined number of readings

using the Counted Average function.
