7. Move the sponge over the coated surface at a maximum rate of
0.3 m/s (1 ft/s) and apply sufficient pressure to maintain a wet
surface. If the sponge contacts a pinhole in the coating, all
display LEDs will illuminate and an alarm tone will sound. Alarm
will stop when the sponge is moved away from the pinhole.
8. Precisely locate the pinhole by using a corner of the sponge.
NOTE:
Sponge life depends on use and the abrasive nature of the
surface being tested. Replacement sponges are available with a
comprehensive selection of Accessories (see pg. 8)
