4.1 ENSURING YOUR GAUGE HAS THE LATEST FIRMWARE
& UPGRADING YOUR GAUGE
Each gauge is supplied with 2 x AA alkaline
batteries.
To insert or replace the batteries:
To ensure that your gauge has the most up-to-date gauge firmware,
allowing you to benefit from the latest features and functionality, we
®
recommend that the gauge is connected to ElcoMaster on a regular
basis and before first use.
Simply connect the gauge via USB to an internet connected computer
®
running ElcoMaster using the ‘Connect Gauge’ feature. If a later
version of the gauge firmware is available, ‘Update Gauge’ will be
displayed to the right of the gauge details. Click ‘Update Gauge’ to
install the latest firmware.
4.2 FITTING THE BATTERIES
1 Lift the latch on the battery compartment
cover and rotate anti-clockwise to remove
the cover.
3 Refit the cover and rotate the latch
clockwise to close.
2 Insert 2 batteries taking care to ensure
correct polarity.

4 Empty symbol (red, flashing) = batteries at lowest
sustainable level
To switch off: Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the screen
goes blank.
4.4 SETTING THE BEEP VOLUME
Note: The gauge will switch off automatically after 1 minute of inactivity.

The Elcometer 415 calculates and displays statistical values as each
reading is taken, see Section 6 ‘Statistics’ for details.
The gauge should be calibrated before taking readings, see Section 7
‘Calibrating the Gauge’ on page en-6.
1 Whilst holding the gauge perpendicular, gently place the probe
onto the surface.
To take a reading:
4 The reading may be inaccurate if the probe is not held flat against the
surface.
2 The coating thickness is shown on the display.
4 ‘>1000µm’ (‘>40mils’) indicates a reading outside the gauge range.
3 For subsequent readings, lift the probe off and then replace it on
to the coated surface.
®
Using ElcoMaster the Elcometer 415 can simultaneously transmit the
live reading to a PC or mobile device (Model T only) for report
generation, see Section 8 ‘Downloading Data’ on page en-8 for more
information.
4.6 SELECTING THE MEASUREMENT UNITS
The Elcometer 415 can take measurements in µm and mils. To set the
measurement units:
é
2 Use the softkeys to highlight ‘µm/mil’ and press ‘ ’ to
ê
alternate between ‘µm’ and ‘mil’, followed by the ç softkey to
return to the main reading screen.
4.7 SCREEN ROTATION
To enable / disable automatic screen rotation:
1 Press the ‘ ’ softkey.
é
2 Use the softkeys to highlight ‘ ’ and press ‘ ’ to alternate
ê
between ‘ ’ (disabled) and ‘ ’ (enabled), followed by the ç
softkey to return to the main reading screen.
1 Press the ‘ ’ softkey.
Using the internal accelerometer, the gauge will automatically rotate
the display to allow the user to easily read the thickness value in any
orientation - 0°, 90°, 180° & 270°.

values of thickness to ensure accuracy on different substrate types,
shapes and surface finishes.
The calibration adjustment method chosen depends on the condition
of the substrate to be measured. As the Elcometer 415 has been
specifically designed for measuring smooth coatings on thin ferrous
and non-ferrous metal surfaces, two calibration options are available;
Zero Calibration and Smooth Calibration.
Calibration adjustment is the process of setting the gauge to known

Smooth
Calibration
This is a more accurate method of calibrating
the gauge than the Zero method as it
requires the user to calibrate the gauge
using a foil of known thickness and the un-
coated substrate.
6 STATISTICS
The Elcometer 415 calculates and displays the following statistical
values as each measurement is taken:
Ÿ Number of readings (n:)
Ÿ Average reading (X:)
Ÿ Lowest reading (Lo:)
Ÿ Highest reading (Hi:)
To display or hide the statistics from the screen, press the ‘ ’
softkey.
To clear the current statistical values, ‘ ’ softkey press and hold the
for approximately 3 seconds (when statistics are displayed). The
gauge will beep and the statistics will reset to zero.

7 CALIBRATING THE GAUGE (continued)
Note: FNF gauges must be calibrated in both the ferrous
and non-ferrous mode to ensure accuracy of
readings.
1 Press the ‘ ’ softkey.
4 Foils can also be stacked to increase the
thickness value.
é
3 Use the softkeys to adjust the value,
ê
followed by ‘ ’ to set.
2 When prompted, whilst holding the gauge
perpendicular, gently place the probe onto
the uncoated metal substrate. ‘Zero’ will
be displayed and the gauge will return to
the main reading screen.
4 When selecting the foil value, the user should
choose a thickness that is close to but greater
than the expected dry film thickness value.
4 When prompted, whilst holding the gauge
perpendicular, gently place the probe onto
the uncoated metal substrate. ‘Zero’ will
be displayed and the gauge will return to
the main reading screen.
7.1 SELECTING THE CALIBRATION METHOD
é
2 Use the softkeys to highlight ‘ ’ and press ‘ ’ to
ê
alternate between Zero ‘ ’ and Smooth ‘ ’ calibration,
followed by the ç softkey to return to the main reading screen.
1 Press the ‘ ’ softkey.
2 When prompted, whilst holding the gauge
perpendicular, gently place the probe onto the
centre of the foil(s).
Note: FNF gauges must be calibrated in both the ferrous
and non-ferrous mode to ensure accuracy of
readings.

If the gauge does not display a valid reading, it may require
re-calibration - see Sections 7.2 & 7.3.
3 The gauge should read the value printed on the foil label ±1-3%
or ±2.5 - whichever is the greater.μm (±0.1mil)
7.4 CHECKING THE GAUGE CALIBRATION
2 Whilst holding the gauge perpendicular, gently place the probe
onto the foil.
