Getting started
2.
Coating thickness gauge TW-6 is designed to measure the thickness of a steel, galvanized
steel or aluminium sheet paint coating. The measurement resolution equals 10µm. The device is
equipped with an internal EEPROM memory for 100 measurements which enables to check the
results after the measurement is made. The memory doesn’t get deleted after turning off the
device, although it is possible to delete it from the menu. The device has a LCD backlight which
makes measuring in places with insufficient light (e.g. garage) much easier.
Before You start to use the device, please place a new alkaline battery or a fully charged accu in
the back side of the device’s housing. In order to do it please take off the battery flap and place
correctly the battery or accu by connecting it to the clips on the cable.

Zeroing (calibration)
Before You start to take measurements, please check whether the gauge is calibrated. To do it
properly, please select the
Zero
function from the main menu and put the sensor against the
green side of the calibration sheet. If the display shows a 0 +/-10µm value, it means that the
gauge is calibrated. Should the aberration be larger than 0 +/-10µm, please put the sensor once
