Deep Coat Function (multiple echo mode)

The Deep Coat function is not available from the Main Menu

by default. To show the Deep Coat option in the menu please

contact Cygnus for instructions.

In Multiple Echo mode with the Deep Coat turned Off the gauge

can measure through most protective coatings up to 3 mm (0.11”)

thick when using a S2C type probe. Coatings like paint, anti-foul,

hard plastics and epoxy should present no problems as long as

they have not de-laminated/de-bonded from the metal surface.

In Multiple Echo mode with Deep Coat turned On will allow the

gauge to measure through coatings over 3mm (0.11”) thick up to

a maximum of around 20 mm (0.78”) depending on the properties

of the coating material.

Measuring through thick coatings is ultimately limited by how well

the coating material allows the ultrasound to pass through, soft
