Annotation: It is strongly recommended to calibrate
the new instrument before the first use, as
described in paragraph 9. 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
and ISO 2361, and DIN as well as ASTM und 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. Those layers are to be found on magnetic
base materials like iron, steel, nickel etc.
* The N mode measures the thickness of nonmagnetic
coatings, e.g. anodizing, varnish, paint, enamel, plastic
coatings, powder etc. These layers are located on non-
magnetic metals e.g. aluminium, brass, non magnetic
stainless steel etc.
* Automatically substrate recognition
* Manually or automatically “auto power off” to conserve
batteries.
* Two measurement modes: - single and continuous
* Wide measuring range and high resolution
* Metric/ imperial conversion
* Digital backlight display enables exact reading with no
guessing or errors
* Can communicate with PC for statistics and printing by
the optional cable.
* Can store up to 99 measurements
* Statistics available
1. Specifications
Display: 4 digits LCD, with backlight
Range: 0 up to 1250 µm/ 0 up to 50 mil
(another range may be specified)
Resolution: 0.1µm (0 up to 99.9µm)
1µm (over 100µm)
Accuracy:
- Standard: 3% of the measured value or min. ± 2.5 µm
Is valid within a tolerance range of ± 100
μm around the
individually measured range, if a two-point calibration was
performed within this tolerance range.
- Off-Set Accur Mode: 1% of the measured value
or min. ± 1.0 µm
Is valid within ± 50
μm around the Off-Set Accur point.
PC interface: mit RS-232C interface
