Saving The Coating Calibration - Elcometer 500 User Manual

10 CALIBRATING YOUR GAUGE (continued)

10.4 SAVING THE COATING CALIBRATION

At the end of '1 Point' and 'Velocity Entry' calibration, the user is given
the option to save the coating calibration in the gauge memory for
future use.
When prompted, select 'Yes' (Figure 18) to
save and name the calibration as
appropriate for the specific coating or job for
example.
The coating calibration is then saved in the
'User Materials' list for future selection using
the 'Coating Material' calibration method,
see Section 10.5 'Using Coating Material
Calibration'.
Using ElcoMaster , saved 'User Materials' lists can be transferred to
other Elcometer 500 gauges, at any time.
10.5 USING COATING MATERIAL CALIBRATION
The gauge is calibrated using the known sound-velocity of a coating
material as selected by the user from one of two pre-defined lists
stored in the gauge.
'Generic Materials': Choose from Epoxy, PVC, Rubber,

Polyurethane, Bitumen.
'User Materials': A list of up to 64 user defined coating materials

with unique sound-velocities and names, created by either:
Saving '1 Point' or 'Velocity Entry' calibrations - see Section

10.2 'Using 1-Point Calibration' on page en-16 and Section
10.3 'Using Velocity Entry' on page en-18;
Using the Elcometer 500 Coating Calibration Mould (CCM) to

determine the sound-velocity of the coating material - see
Section 11 on page en-22 for further information.
Using ElcoMaster , saved 'User Materials' lists can be transferred to
other Elcometer 500 gauges, at any time.
Note: CAUTION - different colours of the same material may have different sound-
velocities.
