Page 2: Meter Description
Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Triplett CTT42 Coating Thickness Tester. The CTT42 is a portable meter designed for non‐invasive coating thickness measurements. The meter uses two measurement methods: magnetic induction (for ferrous metal substrates) and eddy current (for non‐ferrous metal substrates). -
Page 3: Quick Start Instructions
Quick Start Instructions Meter Power Press the power button to switch the meter ON. The display will switch ON. If the display does not switch ON, replace the batteries. Measurements Use the supplied film references and zero reference metal substrates to learn how the meter operates before moving to a professional application. - Page 4 The meter can be configured and calibrated through simple button presses in the programming menu. Press the MENU button to access the menu and refer to the menu ‘tree’ below. The menu uses UP/DOWN, SELECT, BACK, & ESC presses for navigation and selection. In the table below the factory default settings are in bold with an asterisk.

2. Press SELECT to choose STATISTCAL VIEW 3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through the AVERAGE, MINIMUM, MAXIMUM, NUMBER OF DATA, and SDEV (Standard Deviation) values for the stored readings. 4. ‘NO DATA’ will display if no readings are available for the meter to analyze. Stored readings will clear when the meter powers down unless the GROUP feature is used (refer to GROUP function explanation later in this section). - Page 6 Backlight Select ON or OFF under BACKLIGHT in the OPTIONS Menu using the arrow buttons and the SELECT soft‐ key.

Press SELECT to open the MEASUREMENT VIEW parameter. User the ARROW buttons to scroll through the stored readings. CALIBRATION Menu The Calibration menu allows the user to enable/disable the calibration utility. The Calibration menu also allows the user to delete Zero calibration data for both ferrous (Zero F) and non‐ferrous (Zero N) modes. 1. -
Page 8: Zero Calibration
Switch the meter ON (at a 10cm [4”] minimum distance from any metal). Ready the supplied metal substrate samples and necessary films (supplied calibration reference films). Set the meter to: DIR: (MENU‐OPTIONS‐Working Mode‐Direct) CONTINUOUS: (MENU-OPTIONS-Measure Mode-Single mode [flashing units indicator]) MAX: (MENU‐OPTIONS‐LCD Statistic‐Maximum). -
Page 9: Two-Point Calibration
During calibration the ▲ and ▼buttons adjust the internal calibration factors with high resolution. The display resolution may be such that it may take up to 10 presses to see a 1 digit change on the display. Calibration data is stored in memory and is not erased when the meter is turned OFF. Two-point calibration This method requires the use of two films. -
Page 10: Statistical Terms
This meter can measure non‐magnetic metal coatings (Zinc) on a magnetic (ferrous) substance base, and non‐metal coatings on a metal base (ferrous or non‐ferrous). Statistical Analysis Considerations The meter calculates statistics from a maximum of 80 readings (For Group 1 through Group 4, a maximum of 400 readings can be stored). -
