1. Select the

ZERO?

ZERO? menu option.

2. Press 9

9 to select the number of

readings to be used to obtain an
average; typically 3 to 9 readings. The
greater the variation between readings,
the more readings should be taken to
obtain an average. The display will
show the number of readings
remaining; i.e.

ZERO

ZERO 4X?

4X?

3. Repeatedly measure the uncoated part

in the same area. The Gage will
display a “

WAIT

WAIT” message for 2

seconds between readings to allow the
user to correctly position the probe on
the surface. After the last
measurement the Gage will calculate
and display “

0” as indicated by a “triple

BEEP”. This “

0” represents the

average of all the

ZERO

ZERO readings

taken.

NOTE:

"FN" models retain separate "F"

and "N" zero settings. Adjustments are
made to the currently displayed

substrate only.

Adjustment To A
Known Thickness

(F, FS, FRS, N, NS, NRS, FN, FNS, FNRS, SPFS and
NAS probes only)

It is sometimes desirable to adjust the
gage to a known thickness rather than
adjusting it to zero.

Measure the object. If the expected
reading (within tolerance) is not obtained,
lift the probe from the surface and adjust
the display down 8

8 or up 9

9 to the

expected thickness.
