If the calibration should fail, a red bar with an "X"
appears (figure on the left). In this case, please
clean the calibration piece again and repeat the
calibration. Should the calibration fail again, restart
the device and try another calibration process. If
you have a second probe pen, try the calibration
with this one. If those measures do not lead to
success, please contact us.

Description
For testing your objects, select the "Measurement
mode". The "READY" display shows you that the
device is ready for measurement. Please not the
important information below before taking the first
measurement.
If the device does not show any reaction when you
put on the probe pen, it is either a connection error
Measurement of an 18 K ring:
(check the cinch cable!) or a varnished object.
To perform a measurement, place the testing
object on the golden measuring surface ②. It is
extremely important that there is an electrical
contact between the gold surface and the testing
object: Therefore always touch with the metal and
not, for example, with stones or other non-
conductive materials. With the other hand, place
the probe pen on another conductive part of the
testing object. Press lightly and the measurement
will
start
automatically
–
you
will
see
"Measurement in progress..." (figure on the left).
Wait until the measurement is completed.
The result is output in the form of 3 indications
(figure on the lower left): The yellow-orange cursor
(A) flashes on the measurement scale in the carat
range of the test object. In addition, the carat
number is output in the unit "K" (B e.g. 14K for 14
carat) and below the respective range of the gold
content in percent (C). Furthermore, for some
result screens, another line with additional
information (D) is shown.
