Introduction

ThankyouforselectingtheExtechCG206CoatingThicknessTester.TheCG206isaportable

meterdesignedfornon‐invasivecoatingthicknessmeasurementswithautomaticrecognitionof

thesubstratematerialundertest.

Themeterusestwomeasurementmethods:magneticinduction(forferrousmetalsubstrates)

andeddycurrent(fornon‐ferrousmetalsubstrates).

TheCG206metercanconnecttoaPCviaUSBandtransmitrecordeddataforfurtheranalysisand

forgeneratingreportdocumentation.

Properuseandcareofthismeterwillprovidemanyyearsofreliableservice.

Features

MeasuredCoatings:Non‐magneticcoatings(e.g.paint,zinc)onsteel;InsulatedCoatings(e.g.

paint,anodizedcoatings)onnon‐ferrousmetals

Intuitivemenu‐basedprogramming

Memorystorageofupto1500readingsin30groups(50readingspergroup)

Deletesinglereadingsorallgroupseasily

AutoPowerOFFwithdisablefeature

DatatransfertoPCviaUSB

UserZeroCalibrationability

Applications

Corrosionprotection

PaintShopsandElectroplaters

Chemical,Automobile,Shipbuilding,andAircraftindustries

Laboratory,Workshop,andFielduse



ProbeDescription

TheCG206probeisspringmountedinthesensorsleeve.Thisensuressafeandstablepositioning

oftheprobeandensuresconstantcontactpressure.

AV‐grooveinthesleeveoftheprobefacilitatesreliablereadingsonsmallcylindricalparts.The

hemisphericaltipoftheprobeismadeofhardanddurablematerial.



Measuringmetalliccoatings

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).

Operation

MeterPower



Installtwo‘AAA’1.5Vbatteriesintotherearbatterycompartment.Pressthepowerbutton

toswitchthemeterON.ThedisplaywillswitchON.IfthedisplaydoesnotswitchON,installor

replacethebatteries.Whenpoweringup,pleasekeepthemeteratleast10cm(4”)frommetal

objects.Replacethebatterieswhenthebatterystatusiconappearslow,themeterwillgive

inaccuratereadingsifthebatteryvoltagefallsverylow.

Measurements



BeforeeachmeasurementsessionpleaseperformaZeroCalibrationasdescribedlaterinthis

UserGuide.



Practicewiththefilmandzeroreferencemetalsubstratestolearnhowthemeteroperates

beforemovingtoaprofessionalapplication.Theheaviermetalsubstrateistheferrous

(magnetic)zerosubstrate(Fe)andthelightermetalsubstrate(Al)isthenon‐ferrous(non‐

magnetic)zerosubstrate.InAutomode,themeterautomaticallysensesferrousandnon‐ferrous

substrates.



1. Placeareferencefilm(250µm,forexample)ontheferroussubstrate(FE).

2. Powerthemeteronbypressingthepowerbutton.

3. Placethespring‐loadedmetersensoragainstthereferencefilm.

4. Themeterwillemitanaudibletoneindicatingthatthemeasurementhasbeentaken.

5. TheLCDwillshowthereadingatthecenterofthedisplayarea.

6. ForatypicaldisplayseetheDisplaydescriptiondiagram.



AutomaticPowerOFF

Inordertoconservebatterylife,themeterwillautomaticallyturnoffafterapproximately3

minutes.Todefeatthisfeature,usetheprogrammingmenudetailedinthenextsection(menu

parameterAUTOPOWEROFFunderSET).

RecordReadingsinMemoryGroups

TheCG206offers30memorystoragegroups,Group‘0’through‘30’.

Group‘0’doesnotallowdatatobestored;itissimplyagroupthatcanbeselectedifreadingsare

tobetakenwithoutbeingstored.

FromtheNormalmeasurementmode,UsetheUP/DOWNarrowkeystoscrolltoaparticular

group.Whenareadingistakenitisautomaticallystoredintheselectedgroup.

EachGroupcanstoreupto50readings(foratotalof1500forthe30groups).

Todeleteallgroups,oranindividualgroup,usetheMEASUREVIEWmodeasexplainedinthe

programmingmenusectionofthisUserGuide.

InGROUPmode,ifthestoragecapacityisexceeded.Themeterwilldisplay(50)intheupperright
