    1. Make sure the Gage is ON and the probe is wiped clean. 2. Apply a single drop of couplant onto the included zero block (PosiTector UTG CA only) or built-in zero plate located on the underside of the probe connector. DO NOT apply couplant directly onto the probe face.

  • Page 7: Material

    3. Follow the on-screen prompts. 4. When complete, the Gage will double-beep and display dashed lines. Material If a known thickness of the material is not available, but the material is known, this quick adjustment allows the user to load one of several preprogrammed material velocities. Cal Reset Restores the gage back to factory calibration.

  • Page 8: Velocity

    When checked, the Cal Lock icon appears and the current Cal Settings are locked to prevent further user adjustments. Uncheck to make further adjustments. Velocity If the sound velocity for the test material is known, the Gage can be adjusted to that specific sound velocity.

  • Page 9: Setup

    Setup Set configuration options for the Gage. Set Clock All measurements are date and time stamped (24 hour format) when stored into memory. It is therefore important to keep both the date and time current using this menu option. Use the Up and Down buttons to scroll, and the (-) and (+) buttons to adjust value.

    However, it is sometimes necessary to examine a larger region to locate the thinnest point. When Min Scan is selected, the PosiTector UTG will take continuous readings and record min/max thicknesses when the probe is lifted from the surface – ideal for quick inspection over a large area.
