Page 2: Meter Description
Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech CG204 Coating Thickness Tester. The CG204 is a portable meter designed for non-invasive coating thickness measurements. The meter uses two measurement methods: magnetic induction (for ferrous metal substrates) and eddy current (for non-ferrous metal substrates). -

False readings or outliers can then be removed (deleted) using the programming menu. 4. The final reading is derived from a statistical calculation with regard to the meter’s published accuracy specifications. CG204-EU-EN V2.1 3/11... -
Page 8: Calibration Types
Ready the supplied metal substrate samples and necessary films (supplied calibration reference films). Set the meter to: a. DIR: (MENU-OPTIONS-Working Mode-Direct) b. CONTINUOUS: (MENU-OPTIONS-Measure Mode-Continuous mode [flashing units indicator] ) c. MAX: (MENU-OPTIONS-LCD Statistic-Maximum). The meter is now ready for calibration. CG204-EU-EN V2.1 3/11... -
Page 9: Zero Calibration
1 digit change on the display. Multi-point Calibration This method requires performing two or more sequential single point calibrations. For best results, the expected coating thickness measurements should be within the calibration points.
