1. Before use Check-up Carefully unpack your kit and ensure that you have the following items. In case that any item is missing or if you find any mismatch or damage, promptly contact your dealer. Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge 1PCS 10 Transducer (5KHz) 1PCS Transducer (5KHz) 1PCS...
Introduction 1).Introduction This unit is an intelligent handheld product, which adopts ultrasonic measuring principle, and is controlled by micro processor, provides quick and precise measurement of thickness for most of industrial material. This unit is widely used in various precise measurement for different hardw- are /parts in industrial realm;...
2. Operation Instruction Before Measurement 1). Connect the transducer with the unit, then press turn on. LCD with full screen display with back light for 0.5 second, then LCD display the last applied sound velocity. Now the unit is ready for use. Ready to use 2).Sound velocity selection Press...

3).Sound velocity adjustment Press onece to entre velocity adjustment with stored velocity unit blinking, press up or down key to adjust the ENTER velocity to obtain desired value, then press to finish the adjustment. The revised velocity will be saved into the unit.
Thickness Measurement Put few coupling agent on the area to be measured to couple the transducer with the hardware/workpiece. LCD will display the thickness reading. During measurement, indicates a well coupling, if the icon flashed or not shows means a poor coupling, after remove transducer, the reading will hold without Well coupling Measurement...
Velocity Measurement With a given thickness to read out velocity of material: Obtains the thickness of material by using vernier caliper / micrometer. Then couple the transducer with that sample material until a thickness displays, press up or down to adjust the reading match the thickness by caliper/micrometer, then press to display the velocity and save in current velocity...
Thickness Alarm Set-up Press will entre LOW thickness alarm set-up, press ALARM RECALL up or down key to adjust the limit, then press to confirmed. ENTER Then it will turn into HIGH thickness alarm set-up, press ENTER to save the setting as default alarm. During measurement, if the thickness over/under the setting limit, BIBI sounds and HIGH/LOW will indicates for alarming.
Thickness Data Storage/record/delete ENTER 1). Thickness data storage ENTER During measurement, press once to save the thick- ness reading, if a FUL symbol show in the LCD that indicates the memory is full. Memory full Data store 2). Store thickness data record Press for 3 seconds to entre data record mode, press ALARM...

3).Data delete (1). Press for 3 second to clear all stored data, symbol will show on LCD. (2). In data recall mode, press to delete current stored data. After delete data, the vacant memory will display---- on the LCD. Clear all data Delete current data -12-...
Other Features 1). Low battery indication When battery power down to 3.3V 0.2V, the low battery icon will display, please replace the batteries for further measurement. 2). Back light selection Keep pressing the to turn on (not release), press to chose backlight ON/OFF. Then release If backlight ON is Chosed, any operation will active the backlight.
3. Measurement tips 1). Cleaning surface Before measuring, the dust, dirt, rusting and grease etc that adheres on the hardware/workpiece must be removed off and cleaned. 2). Decreasing the roughness of surface Too rough surface may result in measure error/ fault reading.

taken as the thickness. 6). Non-parallel surface To get a satisfying ultrasonic response, the surface must have its one measuring side parallel with another, other- wise will obtain wrong result. 7). Influence of the material temperature The size & sound velocity of material will change with the temperature, when the precision is critical, please make measurement in 2 samples of the material under the same temperature to determine the proper reading resulting...

by calibrating to the referring block, the effect of variation of sound velocity will be minimized. To get the most exact measure, a set of referring block is very important. When measuring thin material which thickness close to the minimum limit range of this unit, please use a referring block to define exact limit of this material.
4. Precautions for accuracy 1). For very thin material Any ultrasonic thickness gauge, when the thickness of the material to be measured is less than the minimum limit the fault reading will occurs. Using sample block compare method to get a minimum limit of this material. 2).

rasonic reflect principle cannot be applied to measure the multilayer/composite material. 7). Influence from the oxidized surface For some metals, such as aluminum a layer of oxide being generated on their surface. The oxidized layer combined with the substrate tightly, but the sonic wave travel within 2 different material which will lead to error reading, the more oxidized layer the reading will be more tolerant.
5. Maintain And Warranty 1). Maintain (1). Battery replacement A).When low battery icon is showed, please replace the batteries. (A). Press to turn off. (B). Open the battery door properly. (C). Replace the low power batteries by new batteries. B). When the gauge is not use for long period, please take out the batteries.
