Temperature
Operating range: +32
°
to +120
°
F
(0 to +50
°
C).
The 6000 compensates automatically for
temperature. Allow a few minutes for the
Gage to reach ambient temperature
before measuring.
Discard the first measurement taken in a
notably different temperature condition.
When measuring surfaces much hotter or
colder than ambient, allow 1 second off
the surface between measurements.
TIP: Ferrous substrates with extreme
temperatures between -150
°
F and
+450
°
F (-100
°
C and +230
°
C) can be
measured with the PosiPen
 
. It is
ideally suited for measuring on small,
hot or hard-to-reach surfaces. Contact
your dealer.
NOTE: The gage will not perform
temperature compensation unless the
probe is lifted from the surface by at
least 6 inches for at least 10 seconds
after a reading.
NOTE: If readings on thick coatings
appear to be inconsistent, remove the
gage from the surface by at least 6
inches for at least 10 seconds to allow
the gage to periodically compensate its
calibration
.
Instability Indication
A high, fast, beeping sound emitted
during measuring indicates the Gage
requires more time than usual to
determine a coating thickness
measurement.
This occurs if the probe is touching a very
hot or cold surface, or if the probe is not
being held steady.
