Coating Thickness Gages
Instruction Manual
Introduction
The osiTector 6000 hand-held, electronic instrument non-
destructively measures the thickness of coatings on metals,
quickly and accurately. It consists of a body (Standard or
Advanced) and probe.
Press the button to power up the Gage. To conserve battery
life, the gage will automatically go to sleep after 5 minutes of
inactivity. While in Sleep Mode, the gage powers up significantly
faster— convenient when moving between parts or locations. The
gage will completely power off after 4 hours of inactivity.
Alternatively, select ower Off from the main menu. All settings
are retained.

1. Remove the protective rubber cap (if supplied) from probe.
2. Power-up Gage by pressing the center navigation button .
3. Verify accuracy and adjust if necessary (pg. 3).
4. Place the probe FLAT on the surface to be measured.
HOLD STEADY. When a valid measurement is obtained,
the Gage BEEPS twice and the measurement is displayed.
5. Lift probe AT LEAST 2 INCHES (5 cm) from the surface
between measurements - OR - leave probe on the surface
in the same location for continuous measurements.
Quick Start
Menu Operation
To access the Menu, power-up the gage, then press the center
navigation button . Either the keypad or touch screen can be
used to navigate the menu. If desired, touch screen functionality
can be disabled within the Setup menu (See Touch, pg. 8).
Select a menu option by touching it, or use the and but-
tons to highlight the desired option and press to select it.
On menus longer than one page, the current page number is dis-
played below the menu name. Navigate between pages using

Press the button or swipe right to return to a previous screen.
Select Exit to close the Menu.
When powered-up, the osiTector automatically
determines which probe is attached and does a self-
check.
To disconnect a probe from a body, slide the plastic
probe connector horizontally (in the direction of the
arrow) away from the body. Reverse these steps to
attach a different probe. It is not necessary to power-
down the Gage when switching probes.
The osiTector gage body accepts a wide variety of probe
types including magnetic, eddy-current, and ultrasonic coating
thickness, surface profile, environmental, hardness, salt
contamination, and ultrasonic wall thickness probes. See

Calibration, Verification, and Adjustment
The osiTector 6000 non-destructively measures the thickness
of coatings on metals.Three steps ensure best accuracy…
1. Calibration: typically performed by the manufacturer.
All probes include a Certificate of Calibration.
2. Verification of Accuracy: typically performed by the user on
known reference standards such as the included plastic shims
or optional coated thickness standards.
3. Adjustment: Adjustment, or Cal Adjustment is the act of
aligning the Gage’s thickness readings to match that of a
known sample in order to improve the accuracy of the Gage
on a specific surface or in a specific portion of its measurement
range. 1-point or 2-point Cal Adjustments are possible.
Probes are factory calibrated and perform an automatic self-
check each time a measurement is taken. For many applications
no further adjustment is necessary after a Reset (pg. 6).
Just check ZERO on the uncoated substrate, then measure.
However, sometimes readings can be influenced by changes in
substrate, such as shape, composition, and surface roughness.
That is why Cal Adjustments are made possible. The symbol
disappears whenever a Cal Adjustment is made to the Gage.

Where a Cal Adjustment method has not been specified, use
a 1-point method first. If measuring the included shims on your
surface reveals inaccuracies, use the 2-point method. Factory
Cal settings can be restored at any time by performing a Reset
(pg. 6), creating a NEW Cal setting (See Cal Memory, pg. 5),
or by DELETING the adjustments made to the Cal 1 calibration
setting (pg. 5). The symbol appears on the display
whenever factory Cal settings are in use.
For “FN” gages, calibration adjustments are made independently
to the “F” or “N” modes, and are stored together within a particu-
lar Cal.

Cal Settings Menu
A 1- t Cal Adjustment, also known as an offset or correction
value, can be performed in five ways:
(i) Simple Zero Adjustment- Measure the uncoated part. Lift the
probe and adjust to "0" using the and buttons.
(ii) Average Zero Adjustment A preferred method
to (i) is to average 3 to 10 measurements on the uncoated part.
(iii)
Simple Adjustment to a Known Thickness-
Measure a shim
of known thickness placed on the uncoated part. Lift the probe
and adjust to the shim thickness using the and buttons.
(iv)
Average Adjustment to a Known Thickness
A preferred method to (iii) is to average 3 to 10 measurements
of a shim of known thickness placed on the uncoated part.

A Simple Zero Adjustment cannot be performed when
Calibration Lock is enabled (default). Disable Calibration
Lock (pg. 5) to perform this adjustment.
NOTE:
A Simple Adjustment to a Known Thickness cannot
be performed when Calibration Lock is enabled (default).
Disable Calibration Lock (pg. 5) to perform this adjustment.
NOTE:

(v) Zero Offset- Useful when measuring coating thickness over
rough or blasted substrates without access to the uncoated
representative substrate. Predefined Zero Offset values can be
selected according to the blast profile height in accordance with
ISO 19840. Alternatively, a custom Zero Offset can be entered.
The Zero Offset value is subtracted from each reading.
If the uncoated representative substrate is available,
performing an Average Adjustment to a Known Thickness
(above) is recommended for best accuracy.
NOTE:
2 t Adjust
Provides greater accuracy within a limited, defined range.
Measure known coating thicknesses that are thinner (often zero)
and thicker than the expected thickness range.

When enabled (default), the Calibration Lock icon will
appear on the display. This prevents an adjustment from
being performed inadvertently if the or buttons are
pressed.

The current Cal Setting (ex. Cal 3) is displayed in the upper right
corner of the display. A stored Cal Setting can be selected when
returning to a particular part. Cal 1 can be adjusted but never
deleted, and is always made active with factory settings after a
Reset (pg. 6). A new Cal Setting cannot be created if a batch is
open with readings present.
Cal Memory (Advanced models only)
Create meaningful Cal Memory names directly on the Gage
using the onscreen QWERTY touch keyboard — helpful when
storing multiple Cal Memory adjustments.
Edit
Use when operating regularly on non-ferrous substrates.
The icon appears and the probe will only use the eddy current
principle to shorten measurement time and extend battery life.
Also useful when measuring coatings over plated or partially
magnetic grades of stainless steel.

NOTES:
Increases the displayed resolution. Accuracy is not affected.
Hi Res
Increases measurement speed. Useful for quick inspection or
when measuring large areas with thick coatings where proper
probe positioning is not critical. Swift up/down probe movement is
required. Reduced accuracy may be noted.
By default, the osiTector 6000 takes approximately 1 reading
per second. Scan mode allows the user to take multiple readings
in rapid succession (3 readings per second) without lifting the
probe. Choose from 3 Scan modes:
•Normal - continuously measures when placed on the surface
•Statistics - displays real-time scan statistics when placed on the
surface. Average, max., min., and standard deviation are displayed.
•Limited # Avg. - continuously measures until user-specified number
of readings is reached, then displays the average for the scan.
When Memory is on (pg.9), Scan measurement data is
recorded. However, in Statistics and Limited # Avg. Scan
modes, only the statistics and/or avergage is saved, not
individual readings. Note that performing a scan may reduce the
life of the probe and is recommended for smooth surfaces only.
