Restarting the Gage
As with any electronic device, harsh temperature, electromagnetic environments
or rough handling may alter the performance of some Gage components causing
the Gage to exhibit unusual behavior.
Two features enable the Gage to recover from many of these disturbances
without the necessity of returning the Gage for service: RESET and
INITIALIZATION. These actions help overcome a lock-up condition or other
erratic Gage behavior. They also help prevent costly service delays.

RESET
This is a non-destructive action. It simply restarts the internal software program
and does not affect any stored user settings or data.
A Gage RESET is activated by pressing the RESET button (pg.9) on the topside
of the Gage. Use a pen tip or other similar object to push this recessed switch at
any point in the Gage operation. If the Gage is powered-up it will immediately
power-down. If the Gage is powered-down when the switch is pushed it will
stay powered-down. The RESET action occurs when the Gage is next powered-
up.
When selected:
•
names and settings created by the user for unique coating applications are
not lost
•
for Gages with the Memory option, stored measurements and downloaded
user configurations/lists are not lost.
If the RESET is successful, the Gage display should return to the point it left off
when the RESET button was pressed. However, if the RESET was performed to
clear an unusual Gage condition, it is recommended that the Gage be
INITIALIZED at the earliest opportunity.
If the RESET is unsuccessful in restarting normal Gage operations, INITIALIZE
the Gage as described below.
