10.1 APPLICATION
This compact and handy gauge is designed for non-destructive, fast and precise coating thickness
measurement. The principal applications lie in the field of corrosion protection. It is ideal for
manufacturers and their customers, for offices and specialist advisers, for paint shops and
electroplaters, for the chemical, automobile, shipbuilding and aircraft industries and for light and
heavy engineering.
The TA090 gauge is suitable for laboratory, workshop and outdoor use.
The probe can work on two principles, either magnetic induction or the eddy current principle. One
probe only is required for coating measurement both on ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates. It
is adaptable to specific tasks: i.e. they can be used on special geometries or on materials with
special properties.
10.2 Description of the gauge
For measurement on steel substrates, the gauge will work on the magnetic induction principle. For
measurement on non-ferrous metal substrates, it works on the eddy current principle.
Measurement values and user information are shown on LCD. A display back light ensures easy
reading of screen data in dark conditions.
Two different operating modes are available: DIRECT mode and GROUP mode.
DIRECT mode is recommended for simple, quick, occasional measurements. It provides statistical
analysis. Single values are not saved. The statistical analysis program can evaluate 80 readings.
GROUP mode permits measurement and storage of readings in a free programmable memory. A
maximum of 400 readings and 4 series of measurements can be analyzed according to various
statistical criteria.
10.3 Product package contents
Gauge with two 1.5V batteries, plastics carrying case, operating instructions (English), steel and
aluminium sample plates. USB connecting cable and program disc for Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista/7.
10.4 Probe description
The probe at the bottom of the gauge is spring-mounted in the probe sleeve. This ensures safe and
stable positioning of the probe and constant contact pressure. A V-groove in the collar around the
probe facilitates reliable readings on small cylindrical parts. The hemispherical tip of the probe is
made of hard and durable material. Keep probe collar level and stable on object to be measured.
