Page 19 (６) 2-foil calibration when “Zeroing “ is difficult to perform. In case zeroing is difficult to perform such as measuring the thickness of the film on the rough surface of Blast-steel plates, a calibration method using 2 different thicknesses of standard plates pinching a thickness of the object is defined as ｢JIS K5600｣Standard.
Page 20 ●Try measuring plural times in range of 1―20 times by pressiing the probe on a thinner 「Thickness Standard」. ( a mean value is indicated whenever the probe is pressed ) Press ZERO key afterwards. ◆When repeating measurements 20 times, the buzzer beeps, beeps 2 times and afterward ｔｈe unit does not accept any entry.

Note to improve measuring accuracy ① Zero plate Prepare the same material, thick and sized plate as the measuring object for zeroing and calibration standard (CAL). Different materials may not bring about correct measuring results. ※As accessories to probe, “zero plates for zeroing” are for testing purpose only. Select a most optimal zero plate to meet actually measuring objects.

Page 41 Reference (Principle of measurements) Electro-Magnetic type ● When metals approach to AC- magnetic fields emitted from probe, the metal and the magnet pull each other. It makes the pulling force stronger as they come closer. In other words, it makes the magnetic density higher as they come closer.
