3 GETTING STARTED
3.1 FITTING BATTERIES
Your gauge may be used with dry cell or rechargeable batteries. 3 x LR6 (AA) alkaline batteries are
supplied with this gauge.
When the battery voltage is low the entire display will start to flash. When this occurs the batteries
should be replaced.
To fit or replace batteries:
1. Unscrew battery compartment cover.
2. Referring to battery polarity instructions on rear of gauge, insert batteries.
3. Replace battery compartment cover.
Note: Remove the batteries from the gauge if it 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.
3.2 FITTING THE TRANSDUCER
The transducer transmits and receives ultrasonic sound
waves that the gauge uses to calculate the thickness of the
material being measured.
The transducer connects to the gauge via the attached
cable, and two coaxial connectors. When using transducers
manufactured by Elcometer, the orientation of the dual
coaxial connectors is not critical; either plug may be fitted to
either socket.
Further information on transducers can be found on the Elcometer NDT Knowledge Centre on
www.elcometerndt.com.

The gauge will switch off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.
