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

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

CALIBRATION METHOD
MODEL
DESCRIPTION
Zero
B, S,
T
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

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
