as printed on the foil label.
The reading should be within ±2% or 10µm (0.4mils) of the
measurement foil thickness value. If outside this range, zero the
probe (see Section 12 'Zeroing the Probe' on page en-24) and repeat
the process. If the gauge is still outside specification - contact
Elcometer or your local supplier for further advice.
