2 GETTING STARTED

2.1 REMOVING THE CASE

To remove the leather case to gain access to the module and

battery compartments, undo the retaining screw located on the

bottom of the case and remove the gauge by pushing it through

the hole.

2.2 FITTING BATTERIES

Batteries are located under the cover at the rear of the gauge.

Fit three LR6 (AA), alkaline dry batteries, or rechargeable

equivalent; take care to ensure correct battery polarity.

When the battery symbol is shown on the display, the

batteries should be replaced. When the symbol starts flashing,

the batteries will last approximately one more hour.

Note: Remove the batteries from the instrument if it is to remain

unused for a long period of time. This will prevent damage to the

instrument in the event of malfunction of the batteries.

Note: All batteries must be disposed of carefully to avoid

environmental contamination. Please consult your local

Environmental Authority for information on disposal in your

region.

Do not dispose of any batteries in fire.

The red LED flashes, the gauge clicks and all segments of the display are illuminated with the

backlight on. The Software Version Number is then displayed.

The instrument will then start up in the mode last used.

Completion of start-up is indicated by one long beep and the red LED flashing.

• To switch your gauge off, press and hold [ENTER] for three seconds.

Your gauge can also be set to switch off automatically - see “Date and time” on page 18.

2.6 INTERFACE

A data output interface is located on the top of your gauge.

2.7 SELECTING A LANGUAGE

The Elcometer 355 has a number of languages built-in.To select a language, see “Language function” on page 22.

2.8 CHANGING UNITS

Your gauge can display coating thickness in µmb(microns), mm, mil and thou.

To change units, press [UNITS].

Note: When units are set to mm, the resolution of the display is such that only 1 µm resolution may be

shown, e.g. 10.8 µm would be displayed as ‘0.011’ mm.

b. µm will not be available as an option on probes which have a range greater than 9999 µm

3 TAKING A READING

Switch on the gauge.

Place the probe on the surface to be measured. The reading may be

inaccurate if the probe is not held as shown.

The green LED will flash and a beep will sound when a valid reading within

limits has been taken.

If a red LED flashes while taking a reading, this indicates that the reading is

outside of the set limits.

The coating thickness is shown on the display.

If the reading is just above the range of the module, the display shows:

In certain base conditions a negative over range can occur, indicated by:

In either of these two cases, check and re-calibrate if necessary - see “Calibration

- BASE and CAL” on page 9.

In some conditions, the display may show error codes ‘E14’, ‘E15’, etc. For

details of these error codes, see “Fault Finding / Error Codes” on page 33.

To save readings into memory (batching), refer to the instructions given in

“Batches and memory” on page 10.
