System Description

The coating thickness meter with a dual probe measures all non­magnetic layers, such as paints, enamels, chrome,
copper, zinc, etc. on steel or iron and also measures any type of insulating coating, such as paints, plastics, enamel, etc. on
non­magnetic, metallic substrates, e.g. on aluminium, copper or brass.
The device type complies with German (DIN) and international (ISO, BS, ASTM) standards:
DIN 50981, 50984
ISO 2178, 2360, 2808

General Information

This meter was designed to handle the widest range of testing jobs. Despite its sturdy construction, the device should be
handled with appropriate care for the best measurement results consistently.
Do not allow the device to fall and protect it from dust and dirt.
Protect the meter from moisture, chemicals and aggressive vapours.
After use, always return it to its storage case.
As with all precision instruments, major variations in temperature can influence the results of measurements. Exposure to
intense sunlight or temperature shocks should be avoided.
Due to the physical principles of measurement, the presence of strong electromagnetic fields can have a significant
influence on measurement results. Therefore, avoid using near transformers, high­voltage cables or spark discharges, for
example.
Do not conduct measurements of magnetised parts. Magnetic fields can affect the measurement results in the Fe
component. Strong electromagnetic radiation can influence the non­Fe measurement.
The casing is resistant to most solvents. A damp, soft cloth should be used for cleaning.
Accurate measurement results are only possible when using a clean measuring probe. For this reason, it is important to
check the probe regularly and remove any residual dirt, e.g. paint residues, from the ruby.
If the instrument is not going to be used for long periods of time, it is advisable to remove the batteries to prevent them
running out and any possible resulting damage to the instrument.
If your instrument should malfunction, do not attempt to make repairs yourself. Our customer service will be happy to
provide you with speedy assistance.
Start-Up and Battery Change
The device is operated with two AA batteries (Art. 0827 02). As an alternative, two rechargeable AA batteries
(Art. 0827 212) with 1.2 V each can be used. Please note that rechargeable batteries have a considerably lower capacity.
When the batteries are drained, a battery warning is output in three steps:
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Caution! Drained batteries are hazardous waste. Under no circumstances should they be disposed of with household
waste, but rather should be taken to an appropriate collection point.
Zero Setting and Information on Use
The zero setting of the instrument is necessary on start­ups, when changing batteries, when conducting various kinds of
measurement jobs and in general on a periodic basis. Place the instrument on one of the zero plates located in the case.
For the Fe probe, select the iron plate, and for the non­Fe probe select the aluminium plate if you want to measure on
aluminium. Otherwise, use one of your own uncoated Fe or non­Fe metal as a substrate.
Please make sure that the device is set to the correct measuring mode when making the zero setting. Otherwise the
measuring result may be incorrect.
BS 5411 (3, 11), 3900 (C, 5)
ASTM B 499, D7091
The batteries should be replaced. But you can still conduct measurements until the device finally
switches off. The background lighting is active.
(small symbol) Measurements are still possible. The background lighting is deactivated.
(large symbol in centre of display) Measurements are no longer possible.
