  • Page 10: Installing The Battery

    - Do not use the device with a low battery! Turning on the device To turn on the device, press and hold the button for 2 seconds until the device emits a sound signal. After turning it on, the display will show "8888". User Manual DPM-816 PRO Page 10...
  • Page 11: Turning On/Off The Backlight

    To turn off the device from any state, press and hold the button for 2 seconds. Display backlight The device has an integrated backlight for the display. To turn the backlight on or off, shortly press the button. User Manual DPM-816 PRO Page 11...
  • Page 12: Operating Modes

    Fe - Magnetic induction method: Quick, continuous measurement (4 measurements per second) of coating thickness on a ferrous metal substrate, using magnetic induction. For accurate measurements, it is recommended to complete the two- point calibration before measuring. User Manual DPM-816 PRO Page 12...
  • Page 13: Units Of Measurement

    After automatic calibration (takes 2-3 seconds) the display will show dashes. If necessary, select the desired mode and unit of measurement in which you want to get the result. User Manual DPM-816 PRO Page 13...
  • Page 14 In these modes, the device takes measurements quickly and continuously. To take measurements, place the device sensor against the surface to be measured. The device will immediately and continuously (4 times per second) display the result of the measurement. User Manual DPM-816 PRO Page 14...

    (magnetic induction and eddy current). This allows you to set up a one-time calibration for modes A, M, Fe, nFe, for example on carbon steel and aluminum substrates, and for P mode, chrome steel and zinc substrates. To switch between calibrations, simply switch between modes. User Manual DPM-816 PRO Page 15...
  • Page 16: Zero Deviation Calibration (One-Point Calibration)

    For zero deviation calibration, take a measurement of the metal substrate without a coating, or a measurement of sample coating. When the result is displayed, press and hold the button for 2 seconds. The display will show "CAL", which indicates a successful calibration. User Manual DPM-816 PRO Page 16...
  • Page 17: Removing Calibrations

    To remove calibrations, when the display shows dashes , press and hold the button for 3 seconds. The display will show "-CL-" and a sound signal will be emitted. The calibrations have been erased. User Manual DPM-816 PRO Page 17...
  • Page 18: Two-Point Calibration

    The display will show "F-1", the second point of calibration. Take a measurement on the same metal substrate together with a sample coating of known thickness, for example 700 or 1000 µm. If necessary, repeat the measurement. While the measurement User Manual DPM-816 PRO Page 18...
