‘ZERO’ and ‘STEEL-PLATE’ will continue to flash on the display and a counter will count down
from 30 to 0. Do not remove the sensor from the standard until the counter has counted down to
‘0’.
‘SAVE’ and ‘OK’ will flash on the display.
Press
‘OK’ in order to complete the adaptation of the sensor. Gauge and sensor are now ready to
measure.
Adaptation of a sensor to the series MiniTest 2500 / 4500 does not affect the use of the same
sensor with a gauge from the series MiniTest 1100 / 2100 / 3100 / 4100.
The adaptation procedure can be repeated at any time in point 20 of the initial settings.
Note:
Sensor type F 20 requires a multi-point calibration according to section 7.4 in order to
adhere to the tolerances. Sensor type F 50 is only supported by the MiniTest 2500 / 4500 series
beginning from software version 1.1.
3.2.1.2 Adaptation of sensor types N10, N20 and N100.
To adapt the sensor to the gauge, the zero standard and the three precision standards from the
calibration set supplied with the sensor is required.
When a sensor from the MiniTest 1100-4100 series is connected to a MiniTest 2500 or 4500 for
the first time, the gauge will display ‘INF”, ‘SET’ and ‘ON COATING WITHOUT SUBSTRATE‘ after
being switched on.
Place the sensor on the three precision standards stacked on top of each other and hold the
sensor and the precision standards in the air keeping a sufficient distance to any metal objects or
place the three standards on a polystyrene plate. Press the OK key. This procedure eliminates
dielectric influences oft he coating material as described in section 7.7.3.
‘INF’ and ‘WAIT’ will continue to flash on the display and a counter will count down from 30 to 0.
Keep the sensor away from any metal until the counter has reached ‘0’.
Once the ‘INF’ adaptation is completed, ‘ZERO”, ‘NFe” and ‘ALUMINIUM-PLATE’ will flash on the
display when an N-type or FN-type sensor is connected to the gauge.
Place the sensor on the aluminum zero standard.
‘ZERO’ and ‘ALUMINIUM-PLATE’ will continue to flash on the display and a counter will count
down from 30 to 0. Do not remove the sensor from the standard until the counter has counted
down to ‘0’.
‘SAVE’ and ‘OK’ will flash on the display.
