1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a coating thickness meter from PCE Instruments.

The PCE-CT 28 coating thickness meter / gauge for cars is used to measure the thickness of paint and

plastic coatings on ferrous or non-ferrous materials without damaging the coating surface. The coating

thickness meter / gauge stands out by its high measurement range. The coating thickness meter/gauge

can be used to detect damage on vehicles. This device is also essential for quality checks prior to

shipping and of incoming goods, as well as during the production process. It is ergonomic with an

integrated sensor and shows measurement results quickly and accurately. It is designed for non-magnetic

coatings such as plastics, chrome, zinc, copper, etc. as well as insulations such as rubber, plastics, glass

and paper on steel, iron, aluminium, brass and stainless steel. Thanks to its wide measurement range,

the coating thickness meter is ideal for the naval and metal industries.

4. Battery compartment

4.2 Change the batteries

To change the batteries, please follow these steps:

1. Turn off the device.

2. Remove the cover of the battery compartment on the back of the device.

3. Remove the old batteries and insert 2 new 1.5 V AAA batteries. Observe correct polarity.

4. Close the cover of the battery compartment.

5 Operation

5.1 Take a measurement

To take a measurement, follow these steps:

1. Turn on the device by pressing the power button. The display should now show “0” and the last

used material (“Fe” / “NFe”).

2. Place the sensor on the surface to be measured.

3. To start a new measurement, just lift the device from the surface, move it to the next measuring

point and place it on the surface again.

Note: You should calibrate the device on a regular basis to make sure the readings stay accurate. See

chapter 5.2 “Calibration” for more details.

5.1.1 Change the measuring unit

You can change the measuring unit from mil to μm or from μm to mil. To do so, press and hold the power

button for approx. 6 seconds, until the indication “UNIT” appears on the display. Now release the button.

After that, the measuring unit changes automatically.

Manual

5.1.2 Change the measuring mode

There are two measuring modes available: single measurement and continuous measurement. To

change the modes, press and hold the power button for approx. 8 seconds until the indication “SC”

appears on the display. After that, release the power button. The measuring mode changes automatically.

You can identify the current measuring mode by looking at the indication on the display. The indication

“S” means you are in single measurement mode. The indication “●” means you are in continuous

measurement mode.

5.2 Calibration

Before you take a measurement, you should calibrate the device to make sure the readings are accurate.

The calibrations for ferrous and non-ferrous materials should be done separately.

To calibrate the device, follow these steps:

1. Check the display to see which material settings are active. “Fe” means ferrous materials, “NFe”

means non-ferrous materials.

2. Take the iron calibration plate if “Fe” is active or the aluminium calibration plate if “NFe” is active.

3. Place the sensor on the calibration plate and press the zero button. Now, the display should show

“0”.

4. Take a calibration foil which is in your measuring range, place it on the calibration plate and take

a measurement.

5. Check if the displayed value matches with the properties of the calibration foil.

If the value does not match with the properties, you have to manually adjust the reading. To do so,

remove the cover of the battery compartment and use a paper clip or something similar and the two

calibration orifices (see the following picture) to increase/decrease the value.

6 Disposal

For the disposal of batteries, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the

contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. They must be given to

collection points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use them or

give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.

If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
