INTERPRETING THE INDICATION
METAL ALERT
The sounding of a continuous audible tone indicates that the
probe tip is in contact with either the users hand, the setting,
or the testing platform. The
“Tone”
is also accompanied by
the display being momentarily turned off. The remedy is to
reposition the probe tip as described under
“Auto”
Test
section.
DIAMOND
SIMULANTS
When testing Cubic Zirconiums, “Paste”, Strass and other
diamond simulants no illumination of the green diamond
lamp will be observed.
However, some diamond simulants may light one yellow
lamp beyond the initial set point.
As always some stones require further testing to
determine what they are. In the case of some
Moissanite Stones especially the “Forever One”
Moissanite stone try using UV lignt on the stone while
testing will help like the ones used for counterfeit
money e.t.c.
DIAMONDS
Testing of a genuine diamond will cause the green diamond
lamp to flash (along with the red error light) and a
discontinuous beeping (beep- beep-beep) will sound.
MAINTENANCE
Always place the protective cover over the probe immediately after use. Probe tip damage is not covered in the warranty.
The only maintenance required is: (1.) cleaning the probe tip and (2) battery replacement.

MANUAL TESTING RANGE
Manual testing can be used under all conditions (temperatures and stone size).
Before testing a stone set the Range Indicator (2) to the correct calibration position with the Range Adj. (3). The correct
position is selected from the calibration chart below. Selection of the calibration is based on the stone size and
surrounding temperature.

Under 0.06ct., set the Range Indicator Lamp to light on up to 6.
From 0.06ct. to 0.5ct, set the Range Indicator Lamp to light up to 4.
Over 0.5ct., set the Range Indicator Lamp to light on up to 2.
For example, when testing a stone of about 0.3 carat in colder
temperatures, set the Range Indicator Lamp to light on 3 and in warmer
temperatures set it to light on 5.
HELPFUL HINTS
If the red Low Battery lamp remains on after twenty seconds replace battery.
Stones being worn, which may be well above room temperature can be tested immediately using the manual mode.
Simply set the range set point one lamp number greater than what the calibration chart indicates or allow the stone to
return to room temperature before testing.
When testing a small stone avoid incidental heating of the stone by the probe; make good contact against the stone
on the first test attempt, otherwise allow the stone to return to room temperature before retesting.
Observation of display activity allows user to
determine a number of things: a) Diamonds cause rapid “movement up
the display” and large diamonds “move all the way to lamp eleven quickly. b) Cubic Zirconias hardly “move up the
display” at all. c) Other semi-precious gems consistently “move up the display” various “distances” based on their
size. d) The only stone that comes close to reading as a diamond is the large sapphire or ruby (corundum). It
“moves up the range” very slowly compared to diamond and the slow movement is a further indication of sapphire.
Also the kind of color usually allows easy rejection of colored sapphires. Large white sapphires can approach the
diamond range but these stones can easily be rejected because they do not “sparkle” as diamonds do under normal
incandescent lighting.
