3. Read display
If six or seven bars of the stability indicator are showing, the display will be reading the correct
thickness of the material directly beneath the transducer.
If the stability indicator has fewer than five bars showing, or the numbers on the display seem erratic,
check to make sure that there is an adequate film of couplant beneath the transducer, and that the
transducer is seated flat against the material. If the condition persists, it may be necessary to select a
different transducer (size or frequency) for the material being measured.
The gauge will perform four measurements every second when the transducer is in contact with the
surface of the material. The display is updated as each reading is taken.
4. Remove transducer from surface
The display will show the last measurement made.
Note: Occasionally, a small film of couplant that is left on the transducer surface will be measured by the
gauge, changing the displayed thickness reading. Using less couplant can reduce this effect.
