5 TAKING A READING

www.elcometer.com5

1 Hold the probe by its sleeve

2 To take a reading, bring the probe down onto the surface whilst holding it perpendicular

3 For subsequent readings, lift the probe off and then replace it onto the coated surface

4 The display will dim if inactive for more than 15 seconds and will go ‘black’ if inactive for the

period defined in Menu/Setup/Screen Settings/Screen Timeout. Either press any key, or tap

the gauge to awaken it (Model B, S & T).

4 The gauge will switch off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity

4 - - - indicates reading outside range of probe

6 CALIBRATING THE GAUGE

90°

DO NOT

•

Hold the probe by the probe sleeve

•

Drag the probe over the coated surface

•

Gently place the probe onto the surface

•

Bang the probe down hard onto the surface

•

Allow the sleeve to make contact with the

surface - to improve accuracy

•

Allow the probe to hover over the surface as

this could result in a false reading

7 LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE CALIBRATION (MODEL B, S & T)

To set a calibration lock PIN code:

1 Press the Menu softkey and select Setup/Calibration Lock

2 Set the four digit PIN Code using the softkeys to select 0 to 9

ê†

and the è softkey to move from the first to the fourth digit

3 Press Ok, Escape to cancel or Adjust to amend the PIN code

To unlock the calibration:

1 Press the Cal softkey and select Calibration Lock

2 Enter the four digit PIN Code, if set, using the softkeys to select 0 to 9 and the è softkey

CALIBRATION METHOD

MODEL

DESCRIPTION

Zero

B, S,

A one point calibration - ideal for smooth surfaces, simply

place the probe on the uncoated substrate and the gauge will

automatically calibrate

Smooth

E, B,

S, T

A two point calibration - the user selects a suitable calibration

foil and a smooth, uncoated substrate (zero)

Rough/ 2 Point

E, B,

S, T

The ideal calibration method for rough or profiled substrates,

using two foils of known thickness - one above, another

below the target dry film thickness

Zero Offset

S, T

Calibration method for measurement when the substrate

profile/ roughness is unknown, or not accessible. A user

defined offset value is applied to the measurement reading

Auto

S, T

Ideal for repetitive inspections. The user stores known

calibration foil thicknesses into the gauge. When calibrating

the user is prompted to calibrate the gauge and the gauge

automatically adjusts the readings to the stored foil

thicknesses - simplifying and considerably speeding up the

calibration process

9 MEASUREMENT MODES (MODEL T)

Three measurement modes are available: “Standard Mode”, “Auto Repeat Mode” and “Scan Mode”

1 To select the measurement mode, press Menu/Setup/Measurement Mode

10 BATCHING (MODEL S & T)

1 To use the Batching memory facility, press the Batch softkey

2 Select “New Batch” or “Open Existing Batch” to add readings

3 Copy and review batch data

4 Select “Edit Batch” to rename, clear readings from or delete a batch

5 Fixed Batch Size allows users to pre-define the number of readings to be stored in a batch.

Once all readings have been taken the gauge automatically opens a new batch with a link

to the original batch name. For Example NewBatch_1 becomes NewBatch_2, NewBatch_3,

etc.

4Save each reading into memory or store the average of a pre-defined number of readings

using the Counted Average function
