1 Introduction Designed for non-destructive coating thickness measurement, it is with built-in sensor, and works on the magnetic induction principle and conforms to the following industrial norms and standards: GB/T 4956, JB/T 8393, DIN EN ISO 2178, ASTM B499 The instrument is ideal for uncomplicated reliable on-site applications.
2 Description of structure 2.1 Gauge The structure and appearance are shown as Fig.2-1 and Fig.2-2. Power Button Zero/ESC Menu Down /Enter Fig. 2-1 Built-in Sensor 2.1 LCD display Calibration curve number Measured value Measured number Mean value Amount of test group Measure mode Fig.2-2...
3 Operation 3.1 Preparation 1 Batteries a) Slide and open the battery compartment cover. b) Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Respect polarities as shown in Fig3-1. . Fig.3-1 c) Close and fix the battery compartment cover. 2 Switch on/ off Press Power Button to turn on/ off..
4 Setup The gauge uses a menu for setting the parameters or the functions. The structure of setup menu is shown in Fig 4-1. In the measurement mode, press the "Menu" to enter the setup menu. Press the "Up" or "Down" ("Up"...
from the surface of specimen. Select the mode as Fig.4-2. 4.1.2 Limits of tolerance As the limits of tolerance are set, once measured value exceeds these limits the gauge will sound Fig.4-2 alarm. In b.Tolerance: Can set to On (turn limit alarm on) or Off(turn off limit alarm);...
4.1.3 Calibration curve The gauge can memory 6 calibration curves for difference kinds of substrate. Choice a appropriate calibration curve can ensure precision of measurements. if selected Form Data , Press certificated time and date will be displayed. if a curve which not certificated is selected, "...
4.2 Data In this item, data measured can be browse, print and upload to PC. 4.2.1 Browse In Single measurement mode, mean value is saved when finished a group. You can browse or print them. Select data then presss , can disply some information of selected group.
Then select data to print, "Current group"," Select group" or "All". if " Selected group " is selected, press enter the group selection. When selected, press the key , begin to print. 4.2.3 Delete With this function, you can delete current measured value, current measured group or all data in memory.
for detail). Connect the gauge and computer with the cable (standard accessories) then run EDLS in the computer. Similarly, there are 3 options: Current group , Selected group and All . 4.3 System 4.3.1 Auto printing If "Auto printing" is turned on, print measured value of a group Fig.4-10...
always. "15s" means the backlight will be shutted down at 15 seconds after no any operation. Note: Set the backlight to "On" isn't recommended for battery power save. 4.3.3 Beep (Fig.4-12) 4.3.4 Power off If the auto power off is set to "On"...
4.3.7 Default curve "Default curve" function may recall the default calibration curve and delete all of custom calibration curves. On the other hand , the zero calibration and one-point calibration and two-points calibration are all deleted. ! So make sure you want to set to the Fig.4-16 default curve.
5. Maintenance 5.1 Calibration Due to mechanical wear in use, changes in the test environment, with a different calibration of substrate material will be to the gauge to bring a certain error, appropriate calibration can improve its accuracy of measurement. The gauge is designed with three levels of calibration methods, zero-calibration one-point calibration and two-point...
a) In single mode, measuring on substrate directly and measured value is "x.x μm". b) Press , to zero the display to "0.0μm ". Note: i) If "x.x μm" is greater than 80μm, this calibration is invalid. Should use menus calibration as following. ii) Repeat the steps a) and b) for more accuracy.
Adjust to mean value of standard thickness foil, press adjust the digital and press for move to next bit. press display Acting; c) Measuring the standard thickness foil on substrate 4 or 5 times. d) Press to confirm calibration, or press to discard calibration.

same with the specimen as far as possible. 2 Basis-metal thickness The gauge has a critical thickness of the basis-metal, greater than it the measurement will independent of the thickness. It is about 0.5mm. 3 Roughness Measurements are influenced by the surface topography of the basis metal and coating.
5.3 Maintenance 1 Protect the gauge from dirt, dust, humidity, chemicals and corrosive vapours. And do not let the gauge drop! 2 After use, please store the gauge in the protective case. 3 Avoid direct, strong sunlight and temperature-shocks as these can have a negative influence on the measurement result.
