In continuous measuring mode, the meter automatically makes continuous measurements
without requiring the user to make any entries. A measurement is made approx. every three

Calibration
The gloss meter should be calibrated regularly. To calibrate the meter, place it onto the calibration
standard. Now make one measurement per angle and compare the readings to the values on the
reference.
If one reading is outside the parameters, you can automatically set the value for this angle by
pressing the CAL key while the meter is still on the reference.
10 New calibration standard
If you want to use a new calibration standard, this standard must first be added. To add the
standard, press and hold the on/off key (while the meter is on) until
“CAL” appears on the display
(after
”OFF“ and ”SC“). Then press the CAL key. “CAL” will be displayed, followed by the angle
and the pre-set value. You can now change the reference value with the arrow keys. With the
ANGLE key, you can select the next measuring angle. After setting the reference values for all
measuring angles, press the ANGLE key to confirm the settings and return to measuring mode.
