GB User Manual
Fe type is applicable for nonmagnetic coatings on ferromagnetic substrates, e.g.,
zinc, chromium, copper, tin, or paint, plastics, enamel on iron or steel.
A symbol Fe is displayed on the screen.
NFe type is applicable for electrically non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous
metals, e.g., paint, enamel, or plastics on aluminum, brass, or zinc and anodic
coating on aluminum.
A symbol NFe is displayed on the screen.
2 in 1 type combines two probes in one meter and automatically identify the
substrate materials.
Depending on the substrate, the symbol Fe or NFe is displayed on the screen.
Operation Method:
Hold the gauge and push the integrated probe vertically against the costing
surface turns on the power and starts the measurement automatically, and
power is cut off after 30 seconds.
Keep the probe on the coating and hold it steadily for a while till the buzzer
sounds, take up the gauge and read the measurement.
Unit of measurement:
Press the button "μm/mil" to switch between micron (μm) and mil.(mil).
Flip display:
Press the button "Flip" to turn the display upside down for easy reading when
measurement is taking on top, side or bottom surfaces.
Data storage:
Press the button "MEM" to read the final 10 measurements, "0" displays at lower
corner of LCD screen, the final 10 measurements can be shown in sequence by
pressing the button "+/-".
Calibrations:
a. Zero calibration: press "+" for 2 seconds, "000" displays on the screen, then
take a normal measurement on uncoated metals, the reading is calibrated to zero
automatically.
b. Calibration with standard films: after measuring the calibration film, press
"MEM" for 2 seconds, then adjust the reading to the right value by pressing "+/-".
c. Restore factory defaults: press "-" for 2 seconds, "0, 00, 000 ..." displays in
sequence on the screen, the factory defaults are restored. The function is useful
when standard films are not available for calibration.
Substrate blocks and standard films:
Available with the package for calibration or self test.
