1 General introduction The SRT 5000 is a portable surface roughness tester with high accuracy, simple handling and a stable performance. It is widely applicable for testing surfaces of all kinds of metals and non-metals. By using a high-speed DSP processor for the data processing calculation, measurement...
2 Working principles When the sensor is making a linear uniform motion along the test surface, the contact stylus in perpendicular with the work surface is moving up and down on the work surface. Its motion is converted into electric signals, which are amplified, filtered and transformed into digital signals through A/D.
5 Entry into service 5.1 Measurement preparation Take out the instrument from the case. The sensor protector should be closed as indicated below. Move the switch to the right to open the protector so that the sensor comes out.
5.2 Turn on/off To turn on the device press . The device will turn on being set as adjusted before shut down. In order to turn of the device press . If the device will be left unused for 3 minutes, it will shut down automatically.
5.4 Measuring When all parameters are set and the protector is open one can start measuring. Point the Stylus mark to the measured area and press the start button on the top of the gauge. After hearing a signal, the measurement has been finished and the screen will show the measured value.
5.5 Calibration We advise you to run a calibration from time to time in order to ensure stable accuracy. The calibration should be done using the roughness standard included in the delivery. To enter calibration mode, the tester has to be turned off. Turn the tester on by pressing the start button at the top simultaneously with The tester will start in calibration...
roughness standard after calibration to ensure accuracy. Note: The roughness standard should be clean before calibration and test measurement! 5.6 Battery recharge Plug the charger into the tester’s USB port at the top. Following symbol will show up indicating charging: 6.
If any trouble occurs, the user should not try to dismantle and repair the gauge himself. The device should be returned to SaluTron for checking and repair, together with the roughness standard and a statement describing the problem. Please get in touch with the technical services department of our company or one of our sales agent.

Rz (Maximum Height of Irregularities) is the distance between the maximum depth of the profile peaks and the maximum depth of the profile valley within the sampling length. Rq (Root-Mean-Square Deviation of the Profile) is the square root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of profile deviation from the mean within sampling length.
