Introduction Introduction
Principles of Operation
F probes use the magnetic principle to measure the thickness
of non-magnetic coatings on ferrous metals.
N probes use the eddy current principle to measure the
thickness of non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous metals.
FN probes combine the full abilities of both the "F" and "N"
probes.

NOTE:
Certification
All probes include a Certificate of Calibration. For organizations
with re-certification requirements, gages may be returned at
regular intervals for calibration. DeFelsko recommends that
customers establish gage calibration intervals based upon their
own experience and work environment. Based on our product
knowledge, data and customer feedback, a one year calibration
interval from either the date of calibration, date of purchase, or
date of receipt is a typical starting point.
The PosiTector 6000 hand-held, electronic Gage non-
destructively measures the thickness of coatings on all metals,
quickly and accurately. A PosiTector 6000 consists of a Gage
body and probe (see pg.19).
Plastic Lens Shield
The LCD is covered with a thin plastic film for protection against
fingerprints and other marks during shipment. This film, while
usually removed before using the instrument, can be left in place
to protect against paint overspray. Replacements can be
purchased.
Wrist Strap
We recommend attaching and wearing the
supplied wrist strap.
