Introduction
Introduction
The PosiTec or 6000 hand-held, electronic Gage
non-destructively measures the thickness of coatings on all metals,
quickly and accurately. It consists of a Gage body
(Standard or Advanced) and probe (integral or cabled).
PosiTector 6000 Included Accessories:
- Probe Only:
- Protective rubber holster with belt clip
- Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST or PTB
- Protective Cap for Probe (some probes only)
- Quick Guide Instructions
-Gage (in addition to above Probe accessories):
- Protective Lens Shield
- Wrist strap
- 3 Alkaline AAA batteries
- Nylon carrying case with shoulder strap
- USB Cable
- Precision Plastic Shim(s)
Principles of Operation
Fprobes use the magnetic principle to measure the thickness of
non-magnetic coatings on ferrous metals.
Nprobes use the eddy current principle to measure the thickness of
non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous metals.
FN probes combine the full abilities of both the "F" and "N" probes.
Quick Start
Quick Start
The PosiTector 6000 powers-up when the center navigation button is
pressed. To preserve battery life, it powers-down after approximately
5 minutes of no activity. All settings are retained.
1. Remove the protective plastic 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.
HOL STEA Y. When a valid measurement is calculated, the Gage
BEEPS twice and the measurement is displayed.
4. Lift probe AT LEAST 2 INCHES (5cm) from the surface between
measurements - OR - leave probe on the surface in the same
location for continuous measurements.
2
If memory is ON while continuous measurements are being taken,
only the last value on the display (when the probe is lifted) is
stored into memory. Scan (pg.15) stores ALL measurements into
memory.
Certification
All probes include a Certificate of Calibration. For organizations
with re-certification requirements, instruments may be returned at
regular intervals for calibration. eFelsko recommends that
customers establish calibration intervals based upon their own
experience and work environment. Based on our product
knowledge, data and customer feedback, a one year calibration
interval from either the date of calibration, date of purchase, or
date of receipt is a typical starting point. Written calibration
procedures are available from eFelsko Corporation at
no charge.
Golden Rule
Measure your uncoated part first! This quick zero-check
determines if a Calibration Adjustment is needed for your
substrate. (see pg. 10)
Next, lay the included plastic shims onto a bare surface and
measure them individually to ensure the Gage measures a known
thickness within tolerance.
Protective Cap
Some PosiTector 6000 models are shipped with a protective
plastic cap over the probe. Remove this cap prior to use.
Replace it when the Gage is not in use to protect the probe.
Wrist Strap
We recommend attaching and wearing the
supplied wrist strap. 1
2
Plastic Lens Shield
The LC is covered with a thin plastic film for protection against
fingerprints and other marks during shipment. This film, while
usually removed before using the Gage, can be left in place to
protect against paint overspray. Replacements can be purchased.

Probes
The PosiTector 6000 consists of a body and
a probe. A wide selection of interchangeable
probes are available. Each retain their own
unique calibration information. Gage bodies
(Standard or Advanced) accept ALL probes.See
Gage Info (pg. 15) to find your body and probe type. More probe
information is available at www.defelsko.com/p6000.
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.
When powered-up the PosiTector automatically determines what
type of probe is attached and does a self-check. Coating
thickness probes “sense” when they are near metal and
immediately attempt a measurement followed by another every
2 seconds. They stop when removed from the vicinity of metal and
power-down after 5 minutes of no activity.
This continuous measurement feature is intended to allow careful
probe placement on small or odd-shaped surfaces. Ignore all
readings taken before the probe is properly placed.
The PosiTec or 6000 probes calculate coating thickness
measurements using either the magnetic principle
(Fprobes - ferrous models) or the eddy current principle
(Nprobes - non-ferrous models). Combination FN probes
(ferrous/non-ferrous) use both principles.
FN probes first attempt a measurement using the magnetic
principle and will display a reading with the letter "F" if the coating
is non-magnetic over steel. If the coating is non-conductive over
metal, then the probe will automatically attempt a measurement
using the eddy current principle and display a reading with the
letter "N” (see also N Lock pg. 12).
Available PosiTector 6000 Probes:
“Regular” - These constant-pressure, stainless
steel probes are hermetically sealed to be totally waterproof -
ideal for underwa er use.
”Micro” - ideal for measuring small parts and
hard-to-reach areas. Available in 0, 45 or 90 degree angles.
”Thick” - ideal for thick, protective coatings.
“Xtreme” - ideal for measuring rough and/or hot surfaces up to
250° C (500° F).

Additional PosiTector Probes:
The PosiTector body accepts a wide variety of probe types
including magnetic, eddy current and ultrasonic coating thickness,
surface profile,environmental, Shore hardness durometer, salt
contamination and ultrasonic wall thickness probes. See
www.defelsko.com/probes
Two Probe Styles:
* Integral - sensor protrudes from bottom of probe connector
* Cabled - sensor is attached to the probe connector by a
1.2 meter (3 foot) cable.
(Extended cables lengths available.)
PosiTector bodies accept all PosiTector DPM, 6000, 200, SPG,
RTR, SST, SHD and UTG probes

Why is Measurement Important?
ry Film Thickness ( FT) is arguably the single most important
measurement made during the application and inspection of
protective coatings. Coatings are designed to perform their
intended function when applied within a tight FT range as
specified by the manufacturer. Correct thickness ensures optimum
product performance. Even the most basic specification will
require FT to be measured.
Many physical and appearance properties of the finished coating
are directly affected by the film thickness including the color, gloss,
surface profile, adhesion, flexibility, impact resistance, and
hardness of the coating. The fit of pieces assembled after coating
can be affected when film thickness isn’t within tolerance.
Regular film thickness measurement helps control material costs,
manage application efficiency, maintain finish quality and ensure
compliance with contract specifications. Paint manufacturers
recommend target ranges to achieve optimum performance
characteristics and clients expect these parameters to be met.
Precisely measuring finish thickness has other benefits, too.
Whether to meet International Organization for Standardization
(ISO), quality, or customer requirements for process control,
companies need to verify coating quality to avoid wasting money
reworking product.

Calibration, Verification & Adjustment
Calibration, Verification & Adjustment
PosiTector 6000 probes non-destructively measure the thickness
of coatings on metals. Three steps ensure best accuracy…
1. Calibration - typically done by the manufacturer. All probes
include a Certificate of Calibration.
2. Verification - typically done by the user on known reference
standards such as plastic shims or coated thickness standards.
3. Adjustment - to a known thickness
Calibration
Calibration is the high-level, controlled and documented process of
measuring traceable calibration standards over the full operating
range of the probe, and verifying that the results are within the
stated accuracy of the probe. Calibrations are performed by the
manufacturer, their authorized agent, or by an accredited
calibration laboratory in a controlled environment using a
documented process.
PosiTector 6000 probes are shipped with a Certificate of
Calibration showing traceability to a National Metrology Institution.
For organizations with re-certification requirements, probes may
be returned at regular intervals for calibration. eFelsko
recommends that customers establish calibration intervals based
upon their own experience and work environment. Based on
eFelsko’s product knowledge, data and customer feedback, a
one year calibration interval from either the last date of calibration,
date of purchase, or date of receipt is a typical starting point.
Written Calibration Procedures are available online at no charge.
Verification
Verification is an accuracy check performed by the user on known
reference standards. A successful verification requires the Gage to
read within the combined accuracy of the probe and the reference
standards.
