4 Operation and Controls
4.1 About Operation
Please note the following instructions to ensure conclusive results:
> Hold the device by the probe holder
> Carefully place the device or the probe perpendicular on the surface
> Ensure the probe makes good contact with the surface and avoid the probe shaking
> Do not drag the probe across the coated surface
If the device does not register a measurement or no button is pushed within the amount of time set
under menu "System" > "Power save options", the display will first dim, then the device will switch
off.
To reduce unstable measurements, you can set a delay from when the probe is applied and meas-
urement starts. For the settings, go to menu "Settings" > "Probe" > "Measure"
4.2 Calibration
The gauge will need to be calibrated before first using it, after replacing the battery, for different
measurement jobs, or as necessary. Either use our reference plates or, ideally, a piece of uncoated
material being tested.
NOTICE
Push softkey to start calibration
On delivery, the button is programmed to the function "Start calibration". You can start the
calibration directly from the measurement display. The calibration will then be executed with the
preset parameters.
NOTICE
Incorrect calibration
Calibrating with the incorrect reference plate can reduce accuracy.
NOTICE
Using reference plates
The included test films are not certified. Certified films are available from the address in chapter
Service and Repair [page. 35].
