Gauge Preparation
The gauge is supplied ready to use out of the box. Just insert the
batteries, connect the probe to the gauge, turn on the power and
you are ready to take thickness measurements.
Fitting the Batteries
The gauge requires 3 x AA/LR6/UM3 Batteries. Cygnus supplies
and recommends Duracell Alkaline batteries. The batteries are
located behind a cover on the rear of gauge. The hand strap can
be separated by a push-button buckle to gain access to the battery
cover. The battery cover is removed by pressing in with your
thumb the at the base to release the clip.
Press the bottom of the
battery cover to release
the retaining clip and lift
up the battery cover.
The batteries are located
underneath.
The gauge is protected
against electrical damage
from incorrect battery
insertion.
The battery compartment
itself is sealed to contain
any battery fluids that
may leak out.
The gauge can be fitted with NiCad or NiMH rechargeable
batteries but this may alter the specified operating time.
