8 TAKING A READING

The Elcometer 480 has been designed to accurately measure gloss on

(scratches), any contaminations on the surface (dirt) or particulates in
the coating (ie metallic paints) will result in invalid readings.
Note: Elcometer do not recommended that the user looks directly into the
optical elements (LED light sources) of the gauge while it is in
operation.
