How to take a measurement
Apply a sufficient amount of couplant to the surface of your part.
After power-up, place the probe FLAT on the surface. Depress the probe switch
and hold the probe steady. While measuring, a “ticking” clock
∅
may
momentarily appear in the top status bar. The time required to take a reading
will vary. When measuring a new application for the first time the Gage may
take up to 5 seconds to acquire a reading. Subsequent readings are faster.
Release the switch when you hear a
double BEEP or see the green light blink.
Measurement results are displayed 1
second later.
A second reading may be taken in the
same spot by simply pressing the probe
switch again, or the probe can be lifted to
a new location before pressing the probe
switch.
During a measurement cycle the probe is excited and a thickness measurement is
derived. The result is simultaneously displayed on the LCD and transmitted out
the RS232 serial port.
When completely finished, wipe the probe clean of couplant and return both
Gage and probe to the protective case. There is no need to disconnect the probe
from the Gage during storage.
There is no “off” switch. The Gage will shut itself off and retain all stored
settings and readings.
