6 CALIBRATING AND TESTING THE GAUGE CALIBRATION
6.1 CALIBRATING THE GAUGE
Adjusting the calibration of the gauge is the process of zeroing the
gauge on a smooth glass zero tile. Calibration foils can be used to
check the accuracy of the gauge across its measurement range.
The Elcometer 224 Model T has a choice of calibration methods as
detailed below. The Elcometer 224 Model B uses the Zero calibration
method.
4 Zero Calibration: A simple method for calibrating on the smooth
glass zero tile. Simply place the probe on the glass tile and the
gauge will adjust the calibration accordingly.

2 Point Calibration:
the gauge than the Zero method as it requires the user to
calibrate the gauge using a foil and the smooth glass zero tile.

Tip Change Calibration:
wear after continued use. Re-calibration is required after a tip
replacement to ensure the continued accuracy of the gauge - see
Section 6.2 on page en-8 for further information.
To calibrate the gauge:
1 Press the Cal softkey.

2 Use the
(Model T only).
3 Follow the on-screen instructions.
After continued use, the surface of the glass zero tile will begin to
wear. If a repeatable zero can not be obtained the tile should be
replaced.
