electronic instrument that measures the peak-to-valley height of
the surface profile of abrasive blast cleaned surfaces. It consists
of a body (Standard or Advanced) and probe.

ment. Download the full instruction manual at:

The PosiTector SPG powers-up when the center navigation
button is pressed. To preserve battery life, the instrument
powers down after approximately 5 minutes of no activity. All
settings are retained.
1. Remove the protective rubber cap from probe.
2. Power-up Gage by pressing the center navigation button.
3. Place the glass plate onto a stable, flat surface. Take several
measurements. If the average is greater than ±5 µm (0.2 mil),
Zero the instrument (see pg. 4).
4. Place the probe FLAT on the surface to be measured such that
the tip of the probe reaches into the bottom of a profile valley.
HOLD STEADY. The Gage will BEEP twice and display the
measurement.
5. Lift the probe from the surface between measurements.
