When selected, the
are "locked" to prevent further user adjustments. Uncheck to make
further adjustments.

N Lock

Select N Lock (Non-Ferrous Lock) when operating regularly on
non-ferrous substrates. The
only use the eddy current principle to shorten measurement time
and extend battery life.
N Lock is useful when measuring coatings on plated steel.
Normally the probe measures both the coating + plating over the
steel using the magnetic principle. N Lock makes the Gage
measure the coating over the plating only.
Select N Lock to measure over slightly magnetic substrates; i.e.
clear-coat on gold over nickel-plated brass. Although the probe's
magnet is used for the magnetic principle, it is also used in N Lock
to magnetically saturate a slightly magnetic substrate and allow
the eddy current principle to operate unhindered.
CAUTION:
With N Lock engaged it is possible to obtain a reading
when measuring non-conductive coatings on steel. This is not
recommended.
