Introduction 

1.1  General description 

 
This coating thickness gauge is small, light and handy. Although it has complex and 
advanced equipment, it is convenient and easy to use. 
Its robustness allows it to be used for many years, provided that all instructions in this 
manual are carefully followed.  
Therefore please keep them always within reach! 

Note:  It  is  strongly  recommended  to  adjust  the  new meter  before  first  use,  as 
described in chapter 6. This will result in a higher measurement accuracy from 
the beginning.

Functions 

 
"This device complies with the ISO- Norm 2360 as well as the DIN-Norm, ASTM and 
BS. This means that it can be used both under laboratory conditions and under rough 
environmental conditions "in the field". 
"The  F"  probe  measures  the  thickness  of  non-magnetic  layers,  e.g.  paint,  plastic, 
enamelled porcelain, copper, zinc, aluminium, chrome, lacquer layers etc.  
These  layers  should  be  on  magnetic  materials  such  as  steel,  iron,  nickel,  etc.  This 
probe  is  often  used  to  measure  the  thickness  of  galvanized  layers,  lacquer  layers, 
enamelled porcelain layers, phosphorescent layers, copper plates, aluminium plates, 
alloys, paper, etc. 
"The  N-  probe  measures  the  thickness  of  non-magnetic  layers  on  non-magnetic 
metals. 
It  is  used  to  measure  anodizations,  lacquer  layers,  glazes,  colours,  enamel,  plastic 
layers,  powder  coating  etc.  These  should  be  on  non-magnetic  substrates  such  as 
aluminium, sheet metal, non-magnetic stainless steel and others. 
"The FN measuring probe is a combination of both probes and is therefore defined for 
both areas of application 
"Automatic recognition of the carrier material 
"Manual or automatic switch-off to conserve battery power. 
"Metric/ imperic conversion of the measured values of µm/mil 
"Two measuring modes: - single and continuous (S= single/ C= continuous) 
"Wide measuring range and high resolution 
" Can be connected to a PC for data transfer via RS 232 interface 
 Cable and software are available as optional accessories (ATC-01).
