Page 9: Preparing For Measurement
Preparing for measurement Power supply: Pocket-Surfix can be operated using 2 x round cell (AAA) 1.5V alkaline batteries or also 2 rechargeable batteries ® (AAA) 1.2V. Please pay attention to chapter 7.8 “power supply”. Empty batteries are indicated by a flashing battery icon. Please remove used batteries at once and dispose them in an environmentally acceptable manner. -
Page 10: Calibration (1St Menu Item)
Calibration (1st menu item) This section informs you about the different calibration modes and the application cases that they are especially suitable for. To meet the demands of coating thickness measurement tasks the accuracy of the gauge has to be checked regularly by means of the calibration standards included in the scope of delivery. -

Page 13: Setting The Zero Offset Value
This measuring mode is useful when it comes to determining the upper layer in a coating system consisting of several layers. If the lower layer(s) is (are) known and show(s) an adequately uniform thickness, the coating thickness of this (these) layer(s) can be set as a negative offset value. After measuring of the total coating thickness the thickness of the lower layer(s) is subtracted (addition of a negative offset value) and the thickness of the top layer is displayed. -
Page 14: Deleting The Zero Offset Value
Example: with a real coating thickness of 100 µm and a zero offset value of –10 µm the display shows 90 µm. With a real coating thickness of 100 µm and a zero offset value of +10 µm the display will show 110 µm. The corrected value (90 µm resp. -
