Coating Thickness Gages

Introduction

The PosiTector 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.

This Quick Guide summarizes the basic functions of the gage.

The PosiTector 6000 powers-up when the center navigation

button is pressed. To preserve battery life, the instrument

powers down after approximately 5 minutes of no activity. 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. Place the probe FLAT on the surface to be measured.

HOLD STEADY. When a valid measurement is calculated,

the Gage BEEPS twice and the measurement is displayed.

4. 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.

Probes

Calibration, Verification, and Adjustment

The PosiTector 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 effectiveness 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.

When powered-up, the PosiTector 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 PosiTector gage body accepts a wide variety of

probe types including magnetic, eddy-current and ultrasonic

coating thickness, surface profile, environmental, Shore hardness

and ultrasonic wall thickness probes.

See www.defelsko.com/probes

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. 4).

ust check ZERO on the uncoated substrate, then measure.

However, sometimes readings can be influenced by changes in

substrate shape, composition, surface roughness or by measuring

in a different location on the part. 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. 4), creating a NEW Cal setting (See Cal Memory, pg. 4),

or by DELETING the adjustments made to the Cal 1 calibration

setting (pg. 4). The symbol appears on the display

whenever factory Cal settings are in use.

With “FN” Gages, calibration adjustments are made only to

the “F” or “N” mode (stored independently under a particular Cal),

whichever was measured last.

Cal Settings Menu

1-Pt Cal Adjustment- Also known as an offset

or correction value, there are 4 ways to perform this:

(i) Simple Zero Adjustment- Measure your 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 using

the (+)and (

)buttons.

1 Pt Adjust

Zero

2 Pt Adjust

Provides greater accuracy within a limited, defined range.

Measure a thin value (often zero) and a thicker value.

These values should bracket your expected thickness range.

When checked, the icon appears and all Cal settings

are “locked” to prevent further user adjustments.

Cal Lock

1 Pt Adjust

Reset (menu Reset) restores factory settings and returns the

Gage to a known condition. The following occurs:

- All batches, stored measurements, batch names and screen

captures are erased.

- Calibration adjustments are returned to factory settings.

- Menu settings are returned to the following:

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. Useful when measuring coatings over plated steel.

The current cal setting (ex. Cal 3) displays in the upper right

corner of the LCD. A stored cal setting can be restored when

you return to a particular part. Cal 1 can be adjusted but never

deleted, and is always made active with factory settings after a

Reset (pg. 4). A new cal setting cannot be created if a batch is

open with readings.

Units

Converts the display from microns to mils and vice versa.

1. Power down the Gage and wait 5 seconds.

2. Simultaneously press and hold the (+)and center

buttons until the Reset symbol appears.

This returns the Gage to a known, “out-of-the-box” condition.

Perform a more thorough Hard Reset as follows:

- Keep the gage away from metal during a Reset.

- Date, Time and WiFi settings are not affected by either Reset.

Units = microns

Flip Display = Normal

Auto Sync .net = ON

Battery Type = Alkaline

Backlight = Normal

Bluetooth Smart = OFF

USB Drive = ON

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 PosiTector 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.6), 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.

Advanced models store 100,000 readings in up to 1,000

batches. “New Batch” closes any currently opened batch and

creates a new batch name using the lowest available number.

New batch names are date-stamped when they are created.

The PosiTector 6000 has internal memory storage for recording

measurement data. Stored measurements can be reviewed on-

screen or accessed via computers, tablets and smart phones. All

stored measurements are date and time-stamped. The symbol

appears when the Gage is set to store measurement data.

Standard models store up to 250 readings in one batch.
