Introduction

The PosiTector

®

PC Powder Checker

®

is a hand-held, non-contact

Coating Thickness Gage that uses an airborne high frequency
ultrasound to analyze coating powder applied to rigid substrates to
calculate and display a predicted cured thickness.

The instrument consists of a base unit and a probe that communicate
with each other via Bluetooth wireless technology. They must stay
within 10 meters (30 feet) of each other while measuring. A rubber
holster with belt loop allows the base unit to stay with the operator while
measuring.

Note: Do not use compressed air on the probe. Tips for cleaning the
screen guard can be found on pg 15.

Note: Throughout this manual, the      symbol indicates more
information about the particular topic or feature is available on our
website. Go to: www.defelsko.com/manuals 

Power-up / Power-down

Step 1: Power-up the probe by pressing the      button.
Step 2: Power-up the base unit by pressing any one of the 3 buttons. A
beep and a solid probe icon on the base unit indicates both units are
ready to measure.

To preserve battery life, both units power-down after approximately 5
minutes of inactivity. All settings are retained.

When a USB cable is connected to the base unit, power is supplied
through the USB cable. The batteries are not used and the base unit
will not automatically power down. The probe will still automatically
power down.

The base unit can be powered down at any time by holding down both
(-) and (+) buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. The probe will also
power down.
