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 ISO  2178 and ISO  2361, as well as DIN,  ASTM and BS 
standards. This means that it can be used both under laboratory conditions and under 
rough environmental conditions "in the field". 
"The  F probe  is used to determine  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 metals such as steel, iron, nickel etc. This test 
method is often used to measure the thickness of galvanised layers, lacquer layers, 
enamelled porcelain layers, phosphorescent layers, copper plates, aluminium plates, 
alloys, etc. 
"The  N-  measuring  probe  is  used  to  determine  the  thickness  of  non-magnetic  and 
insulating 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. 
"Automatic recognition of the carrier material 
"Manual or automatic switch-off to conserve battery power. 
"Two measurement modes: -single and continuous 
"Conversion of units metric/imperia 
"Wide measuring range and high resolution 
"The backlit display allows accurate reading 
"  Can  be  connected  to  a  PC  for  data  transfer  via  RS  232  interface  for  statistical 
purposes. Cable and software are available as optional accessories (ATC-01).
