9 STORAGE AND TRANSIT

Always store the gauge in its carrying pouch when it is

not being used.

Remove the batteries from the gauge and store them

separately if the gauge is to remain unused for a long

period of time. This will prevent damage to the gauge in the

event of malfunction of the batteries.

You own one of the finest hand-held coating thickness

gauges in the world. If looked after, it will last a lifetime.

The gauge does not contain any user-serviceable

components. In the unlikely event of a fault, the gauge

should be returned to your local Elcometer supplier or

directly to Elcometer. Contact details are stored in the

gauge - MENU/ABOUT/CONTACT.

Note: Probes will eventually wear. Probe life will

depend on the number of measurements taken and

how abrasive the coating is. Probe life can be

prolonged by careful positioning of the probe on the

surface.

Replacement separate and PINIP™ probes can be

fitted by the user without the need to return the

gauge for service.

Gauges with an integral probe have to be returned

for re-programming or replacement if the probe

becomes worn or damaged.

This gauge incorporates a Liquid Crystal

Display (LCD). If the display is heated

above 50°C (120°F) it may be damaged.

This can happen if the gauge is left in a car

parked in strong sunlight.
