2 THE KEYPAD

2.0.1 Model CG60 keypad
The ON/OFF key switches the gauge on or off.
To switch the gauge on, press the ON/OFF key. The gauge will perform a brief test by illuminating all of the
segments in the display. After one second, the display will show the internal software version number and
then the measurement mode 'P-E' or 'E-E'. The display then shows '0.00' (or '0.000' if using imperial units),
indicating the gauge is ready to take readings.
To switch the gauge off press the ON/OFF key. The gauge retains all of its settings even when the power is
off. The gauge also features an 'auto-power down' function designed to conserve battery life. If the gauge is
idle for 5 minutes, it will switch itself off.
The PRB-0 key sets the gauge to zero in much the same way that a mechanical micrometer is set to zero.
PRB
If the gauge is not set to zero correctly, all of the measurements that the gauge makes may be in error by
0
some fixed value.
See "Setting up the gauge" on page 15.
When the Model CG60 is taking readings, press the CAL key to adjust calibration.
Calibration adjustment sets the sound-velocity value that the gauge uses when calculating thickness. The
gauge will either calculate the sound-velocity from a sample of the material being measured, or allow a known
velocity value to be entered directly. See "Calibration" on page 17.
The IN/MM key toggles between metric (mm) and imperial (inches) units.
