Introduction

CongratulationsonyourpurchaseoftheExtechCG304CoatingThicknessTester.TheCG304isa

portablemeterdesignedfornon‐invasivecoatingthicknessmeasurementswithautomatic

recognitionofthematerialundertest.

Themeterusestwomeasurementmethods:magneticinduction(forferrousmetalsubstrates)

andeddycurrent(fornon‐ferrousmetalsubstrates).

TheBluetooth®featurewirelesslytransmitsmeasurementdatatoaPCforfurtheranalysisand

togeneratereportdocumentation.

Properuseandcareofthismeterwillprovidemanyyearsofreliableservice.

QuickStartInstructions

MeterPower



PressthepowerbuttontoswitchthemeterON.ThedisplaywillswitchON.Ifthedisplaydoes

notswitchON,installorreplacethebatteries.

Measurements



Usethefilmreferencesandzeroreferencemetalsubstratestolearnhowthemeteroperates

beforemovingtoaprofessionalapplication.Theroundmetalsubstrateistheferrous(magnetic)

substrateandtherectangularshapedmetalsubstrateisthenon‐ferrous(non‐magnetic)

substrate.Themeterautomaticallysensesferrousandnon‐ferroussubstrates.

1. Placeareferencefilm(250µm,forexample)ontheround,ferroussubstrate.

2. Placethespring‐loadedmetersensoragainstthereferencefilm.

3. Inthesinglemodethemeterwillemitanaudibletoneindicatingthatthemeasurement

hasbeentaken.

4. Inthecontinuousmodethedisplaywillcontinuallymeasureandupdatethedisplay

5. TheLCDwillshowthereading(250µm)atthecenterofthedisplayarea.

6. Atypicaldisplaywillalsoshowthefollowing:

NO=1(readingnumberone)onthelowerleftoftheLCD

AVG=250µm(runningaverage)onthelowerright

DIR=DIRmodeofoperationontheupperleft

Fe=FerroussubstrateontheupperrightoftheLCD



Experimentwiththeremainingreferencefilmsandthesubstratebeforeusingthemeter

professionally.

AutomaticPowerOFF

Inordertoconservebatterylife,themeterwillautomaticallyturnoffafterapproximately10

minutes.Todefeatthisfeatureusetheprogrammingmenudetailedinthenextsection(menu

CG304-en-EU v1.1 7/14

Calibration

CalibrationTypes

Themeterisfactorycalibratedbeforeshipmenttothecustomer;howeverthecustomershould

performazerocalibrationandamulti‐pointcalibrationbeforeanycriticalmeasurementsare

taken.Thecalibrationoptionsarelistedbelow.Readthedescriptionforeachandselectthe

bestmatchforagivenapplication.

1. ZeroPointCalibration:Performbeforeeachmeasurementsession.

2. OnePointCalibration:Useforhighaccuracywithrepeatedtestsonaconstantcoating

thickness.

3. Multi‐PointCalibration:Useforhighaccuracywithinaknownrangeofcoatingthickness.

4. Calibrationforshot‐blastedsurfaces.

CalibrationConsiderations

Thecalibrationsamplemustcorrespondtotheproductsampleinthefollowingways:

Curvatureradius

Substratematerialproperties

Substratethickness

Sizeofmeasurementarea

Thepointatwhichthecalibrationismadeonthecalibrationsamplemustalwaysbe

identicalwiththepointofmeasurementontheproductitself,especiallyinthecaseof

cornersandedgesofsmallparts.

Toachievethehighestmeasurementaccuracy,performseveralcalibrationsinsuccession(for

zerovaluesandcalibrationfilmvalues).

Preparingforcalibration

1. Cleantheprobetip(grease,oil,metalscrap,andtheslightestimpuritywillaffect

measurementanddistortreadings).

2. SwitchthemeterON(ata4”[10cm]minimumdistancefromanymetal).

3. Readythesuppliedmetalsubstratesamplesandnecessaryfilms(suppliedcalibration

referencefilms).

4. Themeterisnowreadyforcalibration.



CG304-en-EU v1.1 7/14

Zerocalibration

1. Placethemeteronanuncoatedsectionofthematerialtobe

measuredoronthereferencesubstrateprovided.Useeither

theFerrousorNon‐Ferrousreferenceasrequiredbythe

measurementapplication.

a. Placetheprobeontheuncoatedsubstrateandwatchthe

LCDreadings.

b. Whenthereadingsappearstable,liftthemeteroffthe

substrate

c. PresstheLEFTbuttontoentermenu

d. PressUP/DOWNbuttontoselectzero‐pointcalibration.

e. PressLEFTtoenterorRIGHTtoreturntomeasurementmode.

f. PressLEFTbuttontoconfirmcalibration.

2. PressandholdtheDOWNbuttontoenterzero‐pointcalibrationofFeinmeasuringmode.

3. PressandholdUPbuttontoenterzero‐pointcalibrationofNon‐Femeasuringmode.



StatisticalAnalysisConsiderations

Themetercalculatesstatisticsfromamaximumof80readings(ForGroup1throughGroup4,a

maximumof400readingscanbestored).NotethatreadingscannotbestoredwheninDIRECT

mode.However,statisticsonthesereadingscanstillbecalculated.Whenthemeterispowered

offoriftheworkingmodeischanged(intheprogrammingmenu),theDIRECTmodestatistics

willbelost.Thefollowingstatisticalvaluescanbecalculated:

NO.:Numberofreadings

AVG:Averagevalue

Sdev.:Standarddeviation(squarerootofadataset’svariance)

MAX:Maximumreading

MIN:Minimumreading



StatisticalTerms

Averagevalue(x)isthesumofreadingsdividedbythenumberofreadings.



StandardDeviation(Sdev)

Thesamplestandarddeviationisastatisticthatmeasureshowthesamplevalueis

distributedaroundthesamplemean.Thestandarddeviationofasetofnumbersistheroot

meansquareofthevarianceS2



Thevarianceofalististhesquareofthestandarddeviationofthelist,thatis,theaverageof

thesquaresofthedeviationsofthenumbersinthelistfromtheirmeandividedby

NOTE:

UsetheDELETEparameterfromtheprogrammingmenuimmediatelyafteranoutlieror

erraticreadinghasbeentaken.RefertotheDeletefunctioninProgrammingMenu.



StorageCapacityOverflow



InGROUPmode,ifthestoragecapacityisexceeded,statisticswillnotbeupdated,although

measurementscanstillbemade.Ifthememoryisfull,subsequentreadingswillnotbe

includedinthestatistics.Themeter’sdisplaywillshow“FULL”(intheSINGLEmeasurement

mode).

InDIRECTmode,whenthememoryisfull,thenewestreadingwillreplacetheoldestreading

andthestatisticswillbeupdated.
