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 CHOOSING THE TRANSDUCER
When you purchased your gauge you should have also
purchased a suitable transducer for your application. If you have
not yet done so, refer to "Transducers For Thickness
Measurement" on page 25, which will help you identify the
correct transducer type. Alternatively contact Elcometer NDT, your local Elcometer NDT supplier or
visit www.elcometerndt.com
3.3 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.
3.4 SWITCHING ON/OFF
To switch on or off, press the on/off key
The gauge will switch off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.
