3 GETTING STARTED

1. Press ON/OFF button

2. Select language using arrow soft keys

3. Follow on screen menu

Note: In order to maximise the reading display, the softkey functions

are hidden. To display these functions press any softkey

Note: To access language menu press and hold both left softkey and ON/OFF key

4 CONNECTING PROBE

(Separate probe gauges only)

1. For separate probes slide probe collar downwards to both

connect and release the probe from gauge

2. For PINIP probes push and turn clockwise to connect the

probe. Turn anticlockwise and pull to release the probe

from the gauge

5 TAKING A READING

1. Place probe perpendicularly on coated surface for one second to take a

reading

2. For subsequent readings, remove and then replace the probe on coated

surface

Note: The gauge will automatically switch off if inactive for the period defined in

MENU/SETUP/AUTO SWITCH OFF

Note: - - -indicates reading outside range of probe

6 CALIBRATING THE GAUGE

1. Press CAL soft key

2. Follow on-screen instructions

3. When prompted place probe on centre of selected foil

4. For alternative calibration methods select MENU/CAL METHOD -

See Figure 1

Note: Not allmethodsareavailablefor all gauge types. See “Calibration

Methods” page 5

7 CALIBRATION METHODS

Calibration Type Description

• Smooth (B/S/T) Calibration method for measurement on smooth substrates using

both zero and a user defined foil thickness

• 2-point (B/S/T)

• Rough (B/S/T) Calibration method for measurement on roughened substrates using

two known foil thicknesses

• Special Substrate (B/S/T) Calibration method for measurement on non-standard substrates

using two known foil thicknesses

• Zero Offset (B/S/T)

• Set Offset (B/S/T)

• ISO 19840 (S/T)

• SSPC 2004 (S/T)

Calibration method for measurement when the substrate roughness

is unknown. A user defined offset is applied to the gauge to provide

a close estimate of the unknown profile

• Swedish (S/T) As 2-point calibration but according to the annex of ISO 19840

• Australian (S/T) As Zero Offset but where ‘user defined offset’ is calculated as 1/3 of

the known profile

8 BATCHING

1. To use BATCH facility press DATA soft key

2. Select OPEN NEW BATCH or OPEN EXISTING BATCH to add

readings

3. Select REVIEW BATCHES to investigate stored readings

4. Follow on screen instructions - See Figure 2 for example

BATCH SOFT KEY ALTERNATIVES

Batch Number: Indicates batch number in use

Counted Average Mode: Where ‘n’ is number of readings taken

by the gauge to provide one single average reading

Standard Batch Mode: Gauge set in batch mode to allow data to be collected in groups
