SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The
QuaNix®4200
dry film thickness gauge measures all non-magnetic
coatings such as lacquer, chromium, copper, zinc etc. on steel or iron.
The
QuaNix®4500
dry film thickness gauge additionally measures all
insulating coatings such as lacquer, plastic, enamel, etc. on nonmagnetic,
metallic substrates, e.g. on aluminium, copper or brass.
Both gauges conform to national (DIN) and international (ISO, BS,
ASTM) standards:
DIN 50981, 50984 BS 5411 (3, 11), 3900 (C, 5)
ISO 2178, 2360, 2808 ASTM B499, D1400

GENERAL
This dry film thickness gauge was designed for various applications.
Despite its rugged design it should be handled correctly to insure proper
measurements at all time.
Do not let it drop and protect it from dirt, dust, humidity, chemicals and aggressive
vapours. After use please store the gauge in the protective case.
As with all precision instruments large temperature variations can influence the measuring result. Please avoid
direct solar irradiation and temperature shocks. Due to the physical measuring principles the measurements
can be influenced by strong electromagnetic fields. Please stay away from e.g. transformers, high voltage lines
or discharge sources. Do not take measurements on magnetized parts. Magnetic fields can affect the
Femeasurements. Strong electromagnetic radiation can affect the NFemeasurements. The housing is resistant
against most solvents. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the housing.
Proper results can only be achieved with clean probes. Please regularly check the probe tips and remove any
dirt and paint from the rubies If the gauge is not used for a long period, please remove the batteries
from the gauge in order to prevent leakage that can damage the unit. In case of a malfunction of the instrument
please do not try to repair it on your own. Our customer service will be happy to assist you.

CHANGE OF BATTERIES
The battery compartment is on the rear side of the gauge. The battery
should be exchanged when the "BAT"-sign appears on the right side of the
display. Additional readings can still be taken even with the “BAT”-indication
before the gauge shuts off.
Note
! Empty batteries should be disposed of properly. If possible, please use the appropriate method.
