4.5 Media thickness

The measuring head is automatically positioned in its highest position
when switching it on.
In this position, you can load samples with thickness up to 20mm.
When starting measurement, the instrument moves to a upper left
position on the sample and lowers the measuring head until it touches
the surface of the sample.
As the thickness of the sample to be measured is

determined in only 1 position, it is important that the
material has the same thickness on the whole measur-
ing area. Tolerances of up to +/- 1 mm are acceptable.
The instrument supports measurement of samples

up to 20mm thickness.
While this is an outstanding feature for reflective ma-
terials, it has to be used with caution for transmissive
materials. If colors are printed only on the surface
of the transparent material, straylight can influence
measurements and measuring values will be wrong.
Transparency measurements are for this reason in
most cases limited to a thickness of up to 3mm.
