Placing pressure

Select the placing pressure so a secure contact to the surface is assured,
however, the does not become dented.
Soft coatings: Even a low placing pressure can cause surface defor-
mations in the case of low coating hardness. With soft coatings you
should place the probe with the least possible pressure. Probes with
an integrated spring-loaded guide sleeve should be placed without
spring assistance, if possible.
