Measure
Insert the burnished replica tape into the
measurement opening. Ensure the tape is
properly positioned so that the burnished region
is centered within the opening in the probe with
the adhesive (sticky) side down.
To position the tape, move the tape to the back of the probe and
align the two dots (printed on replica tape) with arrows on both
sides of the measurement opening.
During measurement, a constant anvil pressure is applied to the
replica tape regardless of how hard the two buttons are pressed.
The Gage automatically subtracts the 50.8 µm (2 mil) of
incompressible polyester film. No further adjustments are required.
If you are using older tape that does not have the printed dots,
simply align by centering the tape within the measurement
opening.
