Operating Instructions

Power ON/OFF

To turn the meter ON or OFF press and hold the power button for 2 seconds.

Note: If the buzzer is enabled, there will be an audible beep when the

instrument is powered ON or OFF.

Measuring Procedure

Before each test session perform a Zero Calibration. See the Zero Calibration

section for details.

1. During start-up the meter begins an initialization process and enters

normal operation upon completion.

2. Select the closest reference lm to the estimated coating thickness

of the test area and perform a 2-point calibration on the appropriate

substrate plate.

3. Proceed with the 2-point calibration. See the Two-Point Calibration

section for details.

Once the 2-point calibration has been completed, proceed with testing.

5. Select 3-5 measuring points on the test surface.

6. For each measuring point, it is recommended to take 5 measurements

and record the average value as indicated on the LCD display.

7. After each measuring point has been tested, the overall average value

should be noted as the coating thickness value of the test piece.

Note: Lightly press the sensor against the substrate being measured.

Keep the sensor in close contact with the surface of the substrate without

the use of excessive force as it can cause measurement errors. If the

measured value is greater than 1250μm and less than 1500μm, the LCD

displays "OL" indicating it is over the measurement range. If the measured

value is greater than 1500μm, the gauge will not respond.
