1 ABOUT YOUR GAUGE

The Elcometer 406L Statistical Glossmeter is a handheld gauge for measuring the gloss on flat surfaces
from matt to mirror finishes. The gauge is available in two versions; single angle measurement (60°) or dual
angle measurement (20°/60° ).
The gauge can perform statistical analysis of gloss readings stored in internal memory.
The Elcometer 406L contains an LED light source, a light detector and a system of lenses. A parallel beam
of light illuminates the specimen at a set angle of incidence. The light detector is set at the opposite angle
and measures the light reflected from the specimen. Gloss is computed and displayed in Gloss Units (GU).
The gauge is calibrated using a certified calibration tile.
The Elcometer 406L is supported by Novo-Soft™ software - a data cable connects the gauge to a PC via
an USB connection.
The gauge is powered by internal dry cell batteries.
