NOTE: Deleting a Template from the PosiTector does not remove it from PosiSoft Desktop. Annotate Create meaningful batch names and enter notes directly on the Gage using a familiar onscreen QWERTY keyboard.

    On screen statistics are immediately updated with each measurement. New batches are date and time stamped when they are created. Shortcut: When a batch is open, press (+) to create a new batch NOTE: Remove the last reading from the current open batch by pressing (-). Close Stops the recording process, closes the current batch, and removes batch information from the display.

    NOTE: The PosiTector 200 measures most polymer coatings accurately out-of-box with no adjustment required. Zero The probe must be periodically zeroed to compensate for both temperature and probe wear effects.

    1. Select Lo or Hi. 2. Use the (-) (+) buttons to decrease/increase the displayed value. IMPORTANT: The PosiTector 200 will ignore any readings outside the selected range. If the coating thickness is outside this range, incorrect or dashed readings may occur. Page 7...

  • Page 10: Thickness

    Thickness The PosiTector 200 measures most polymer coatings accurately out-of-box with no adjustment required. To determine if an adjustment is necessary, select a coating sample of known thickness as close as possible in composition to the intended application. For best results, the thickness of the sample should be equal to or slightly greater than the maximum expected thickness of the coating to be measured.

  • Page 13: Select Layers

    NOTES: Before setting up the Gage for multi-layer measurement, it is recommended that you first take measurements in single layer mode and interpret the results using the Graphics option. When a batch is open, press the Up button to view the Chart. Select Layers Select the number of layers to display.

    Two materials of very different density and a well-defined interface would result in a high, narrow peak. The PosiTector 200 has the ability to measure the thickness associated with either the highest peak(s) or the deepest peak(s), depending on whether Max Thick Mode is enabled.

  • Page 15: Language

    When Max Thick Mode is selected, the PosiTector 200 reports the echo or peak associated with the deepest interface in the coating system, instead of the loudest. This is often more effective at reporting the total coating thickness above the substrate interface, and eliminates the need to adjust the Lo Range.
