7.3 ALARM
(Elcometer 206 and 206DL only)
The Alarm feature of the Elcometer 206 and 206DL allows the user to set an audible and visual alarm when
taking measurements.
If the alarm is switched on, the green light on the front panel of the gauge is illuminated. If the measurement
falls below the value set by the user, a red light shows on the front panel of the gauge and the beeper is
sounded (if it is switched on).
Use of the red light and beeper improves the speed and efficiency of the inspection process by eliminating
constant viewing of the reading displayed.
