Page 6: Do's And Don'ts
DO’S AND DON’TS Don’t leave liquid in the Test Well. Do clean after each test or 5 minutes. Do occasionally clean reference Gold at the bottom of the Test Well with a cotton swab, especially if you suspect any test error. ... - Page 7 Such a Gold plate is referred to as Gold flash. A large percentage of Gold flash is sufficiently thin and/or microscopically porous that the M-18A9 Gold Tester will “read through” the plate and indicate “NOT GOLD”. A thicker plate will read as Karat Gold unless a portion of the surface that is being tested is erased with the eraser or filed to expose the metal underneath.
- Page 8 TESTING FOR PALLADIUM Both Palladium and Platinum will indicate Karat Gold if tested. Platinum jewelry is usually traded at a higher price than Gold jewelry, so Platinum is seldom marked as Gold. Palladium, however, is one-quarter to one-third the price of pure Gold, so it should be noted that pure Palladium might read as medium Karat gold.
- Page 9 The same Electrolyte can be used for the two comparisons, (the un-erased or un-filed area test and the erased or filed test). MAINTENANCE OF M-18A9 No maintenance is required outside of cleaning after testing as described in Step 9 of the Operating Instructions. (page 5) When the Low Battery indicator comes on, it is necessary to replace the batteries before operating the unit.
