  • Page 6 adjustment is necessary after a Reset (pg.15). Just check ZERO on the uncoated substrate, then measure. But sometimes Gage readings can be influenced by changes in substrate shape, composition, surface roughness or by measuring in a different location on the part. That is why Calibration Adjustments are made possible.
  • Page 7 average of a series of readings on the uncoated surface is "0" . (2) Average Zero Calibration Adjustment To establish “0” on a rough or curved surface a preferred method is to take several readings on the uncoated part and average the result. 1.Select the Zero menu option.
  • Page 8 used to obtain an average, typically 3 to 10 readings. The greater the variation between readings, the more readings should be taken to obtain an average. 3.Repeatedly measure known thickness reference. The Gage will wait 2 seconds between readings to allow the user to correctly position the probe on the surface.

  • Page 9: Calibration Memory

    A “setting” is any calibration adjustment. The PosiTector 6000 always displays the currentcalibra- tionsetting(ex. Cal 3) in the upper right corner of the display. The setting called Cal 1 has unique features. It can be adjusted but never deleted, and is always made active with factory settings after a Reset (see pg.15).

It is handy when settings have been changed, if the Gage behaves unusually, or if a calibration adjustment is not possible. The following occurs: - all batches are closed and stored measurements are erased.
