Owner’s manual 9
SURFOX Stainless steel passivation tester
In the eventuality that the calibration cannot be completed, a message to verify
the cartridge and/or tip; CHECK TIP / REFILL will be displayed.
The loss of the calibration can be in fact caused by two factors:
u Exhaustion of the electrolyte contained in the refill (see section 4 – Refill
replacement)
u Pollution of the tip (e.g. If you performed a test on a piece of dirt) (see
section 5 – Tip replacement)
It is recommended to perform the calibration test after a prolonged storage
period.
6.6 Free test
The Free Test function allows to make a passivation
test without saving the data in memory. To access this
feature, from the main menu, select NEW TEST (press
4) and then FREE TEST (press 4).
Position the probe on the test piece and press 4 to
begin the test.
After pressing 4 the test will start and a graphic bar will
show the progression of the test (duration: 15 seconds).
After testing, the display shows the numeric value of the quality of the passive
layer of stainless steel between a maximum value (GOOD) and totally not
passive (BAD).
Press 4 to return to the FREE TEST section or press MENU to return to main menu.
6.7 Quality control
From the main menu, select NEW TEST (press
4
) and
subsequently QUALITY CONTROL (press

press
4
and enter the data using the keyboard.
Insert the SERIAL No and press
4
, and position the probe on the test piece and
press
4
to begin testing.
After pressing
4
the test will start and a graphic bar will show the progression of
the test (Duration: 15 seconds).
After testing, the display shows the numeric value of the quality of the passive
layer of stainless steel between a maximum value (GOOD) and a “not passive”
(BAD).
Press 4 to return to SERIAL No to maintain the current session and the Project
No – or press the MENU button to end the session and return to the main menu.
NOTE: The tester has 50 memory blocks; once all the available cells are used,
