Understanding an LOS Reading
LOS (Loss of Signal) occurs when the gauge is not making a valid reading for a variety
of reasons. This may be because there is not enough couplant, the surface is too rough or
rusty, the transducer is low in sensitivity, the temperature is too high, there is a disbond
between the coating and the steel or for a variety of other reasons. In the event you try to
save a reading in LOS with the datalogger version, the
Notes
screen will automatically
appear so that a reason is given for saving an LOS. You can scroll to the appropriate note
and press the soft save key.
Using the Hold Option
From the
Initial Setup
screen, if an LOS occurs, the gauge can continue to display the
last measured thickness by “holding” the measurement. There are two
Hold
options,
which include:
Hold On
:

Hold Off
:
Does not continue to display the last measured thickness
Using the Fast Option
From the
Measurement
Screen, the
Fast
option is available in the

option in
