Declaration of conformity
Annotation: It is strongly recommended to calibrate
the new instrument before the first use, as
described in paragraph 5. By doing this it
will be achieved a much better measure-
ment result right from the start.
1. Features
»This instrument meets the standards of both ISO 2178,
ISO 2360 as well as DIN, ASTM and BS. It is suitable for
the laboratory and for use in “harsh field” conditions.
»The F- mode measures the thickness of nonmagnetic
materials, e.g. paint, plastic, porcelain enamel, copper,
zinc, aluminium, chrome, laquer layers etc. These layers
are located on magnetic materials e.g. steel, iron,
nickle etc. It is often used to measure the thickness of
galvanizing layer, laquer layer, porcelain enamel layer,
phosphide layer, copper tile, aluminium tile, some alloy
tile, paper etc.
»The N- mode measures the thickness of nonmagnetic
coatings on nonmagnetic materials.
It is used on anodizing, varnish, paint, enamel, plastic
coatings, powder etc. It can be applied on aluminium,
brass, nonmagnetic stainless steel etc.
»Automatic substrate recognition.
»Manual or automatically auto power off to conserve
batteries
»Two measurement modes:- single and continuous
»Date transfer to PC possible
