Measuring Range
The meter is used to measure the thickness of coating or plating from 0
μm to 1,250 μm.
In the case of thickness beyond this range,
“---” will appear on the screen.
Please refer to below figure:
The icon means that the thickness measured is beyond the measuring range or the meter has
failed to measure.
There may be some circumstances the meter could fail to get a reading. For example:
•
On a non-metal base material
•
On strong magnetic material
•
If the base material is too thin
•
If the surface area is too small
•
A hardware error occurs (probe is broken or dust /dirt is on the probe)

Over time, the green bar becomes shorter, indicating the current capacity of the batteries
The icon blinking in red indicates that the batteries are low. Please recharge or replace the
batteries, otherwise it may affect measurement accuracy.
