3 GETTING STARTED
To switch the gauge on, press and hold the “On/Off” ( ) key.
The gauge has an integrated backlight which will timeout after 30 seconds of inactivity.
The unit will switch off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.

† The Elcometer AVU is supplied with an Elcometer 506 20mm dolly adaptor fitted. Dolly adaptors for other adhesion gauges from Elcometer and other
manufacturers, are available as optional accessories - see Section 7 “Dolly Adaptors” on page 6 for details.
4 PERFORMING THE TEST
www.elcometer.com3
The Elcometer AVU is designed to provide users with a method of verifying the performance of their
†
pull-off adhesion gauges .
The performance of an adhesion gauge should be verified at a number of test pressures. Refer to
Section 9 on page 7 for recommended test pressures for Elcometer pull-off adhesion gauges based on
our certification procedures. For other manufacturers’ gauges, refer to the manufacturers’ specification.
1 Press and hold the “On/Off” ( ) key to switch on the
Elcometer AVU.
†
2 Fit the appropriate dolly adaptor - screwing clockwise to
tighten into position. The reading on the Elcometer AVU
display should be zero.
Note: Do not overtighten as this will apply pressure and result in
inaccurate readings.
3 Connect the adhesion gauge or actuator to the dolly adaptor
(Elcometer 506 actuator shown).
4 “MAX” should be displayed on the Elcometer AVU LCD to
indicate that ‘Max Hold’ is switched on. ‘Max Hold’ holds the
Elcometer AVU reading when the required test pressure has
been reached on the adhesion gauge. Press the “MAX”
softkey to switch ‘Max Hold’ on and off.
Note: The display will hold the maximum value until the ‘MAX’ softkey is
pressed again.

5 Apply pressure until the required test pressure is reached on the adhesion gauge and compare the
adhesion gauge’s reading with the reading on the Elcometer AVU display - see Section 5 “Assessing
the Results” on page 5.
6 To switch between measurement units, press the “MPa/psi” softkey.
The Elcometer AVU will provide adhesion readings for 20mm dollies irrespective of which dolly adaptor is
fitted - see below for additional information.
ELCOMETER 506 DOLLY ADAPTOR FOR 50MM ACTUATOR SKIRT (Part Number: T99923936)
When using the Elcometer 506 Analogue Adhesion Tester with 50mm dolly adaptor, the reading on the
Elcometer AVU display should be compared with the reading on the 20mm scale of the Elcometer 506
analogue pressure gauge.
When using the Elcometer 506 Digital Adhesion Tester with 50mm dolly adaptor, the dolly size should be
set to 20mm before test - refer to the Elcometer 506 User Guide for instructions on how to select the
20mm dolly size.
ELCOMETER 106 SCALE 6 DOLLY ADAPTOR (Part Number: T99923938)
When testing the Elcometer 106 Pull-Off Adhesion Tester with the Scale 6 dolly adaptor, the Elcometer
AVU reading should be multiplied by a conversion factor of 6.4516 before comparing with the adhesion
gauge reading.
For other manufacturers’ gauges, please refer to the manufacturers’ instructions for adhesion readings
using 20mm dollies.
6 AFTER TEST
Adhesion gauges should be tested at a number of pressure / adhesion values across the their
measurement range - see Section 9 on page 7 for recommended test pressures for Elcometer pull-of f
adhesion gauges.
When comparing the adhesion gauge reading with the Elcometer AVU reading, the user should refer to
the adhesion gauge’s accuracy statement. This is usually quoted in the operating instructions or
technical data sheet.
The adhesion gauge can be stated as performing within specification if the Elcometer AVU adhesion
reading is within the stated accuracy of the adhesion gauge. If outside specification, re-calibration is
recommended - contact Elcometer or your local supplier for further information.
The Elcometer AVU can be used to re-certify adhesion gauges if it has a current and valid calibration
certificate, dated within 12 months of test. This provides users with a Calibration Certificate which is
traceable through the certification of the Elcometer AVU unit in accordance with Elcometer’s procedures.
The Elcometer AVU is supplied with a Test Certificate as standard and is also available with an optional
Calibration Certificate. To certify or re-certify the Elcometer AVU, contact Elcometer or your local
supplier.
