    1. ) Only use the included micro­USB adaptor cable. Low quality products can cause false measurements or the destruction of the GoldScreenCard. 2. ) Make sure that the GoldScreencard isn't put on a metallic surface when measuring and calibrating and don't put metallix objects near the GoldScreenCard because this can cause measurement inaccuracies.

    3. ) Don't use the GoldScreenCard near explosive gases, vapours, dust or in wet environments. 4. ) Use the device at room temperature and not directly near heat sources (e.g. also fan outputs of notebooks, etc.). Make sure that the device as well as the coin on top are in the same temperature range (ideally room temperature).

  • Page 14: Interpretation Of The Measurement Results

    10. Interpretation of the measurement results The GoldScreenCard uses the electric conductivity of the testing object as a physical measurement size. The testing sample's geometry plays a decisive role because the air gaps between the sensor­ and coin surface caused by the striking contribute significantly to the measurement result.

    Is it possible to use the GoldScreenCard for ingots or jewellery? In general, it is also possible to test small ingots with the GoldScreenCard, but it is difficult to have reference values, due to the many different geometries of the different ingot producers.
