Power supply
To start using the meter, first insert 2 x 1.5 V AA batteries into the battery compartment on the
back. Make sure the polarity is correct when inserting them. To prolong the battery life, make sure
to switch off the Bluetooth function when you are not using it.
The meter can also be supplied with power via the micro USB port. Thus, the coating thickness
gauge can be operated via the USB port of a computer, for example.

On / off
To switch the meter on/off, press and hold the
key for more than 1 second. When the meter
is not in use, it will automatically turn off within 3 minutes.

Measurement
To make a measurement, place the tip of the sensor on the surface to be measured. A measured
value will be displayed directly. Make sure that you place the sensor on the sample vertically and
quickly. The meter will detect automatically whether the base material is magnetic (Fe) or non-
magnetic (nFe). During a measurement, the sensor must not be moved, otherwise incorrect
measurements may occur. To carry out further measurements, place the sensor on the next
measuring spot.
Important:
In order to obtain the best results, it is important to take measurements on a smooth and non-slip
surface.
Do not impact the sensor head too forcefully on the test object, otherwise you could damage the
probe.
7.1
Continuous measurement
To perform a continuous measurement, place the sensor on the object to be measured. A
measured value will be displayed. Now keep the sensor on the current measuring spot for three
seconds. The continuous measurement starts automatically. To stop the continuous
measurement, lift the sensor.
Important:
Do not make continuous measurements on sensitive surfaces to create sequences, otherwise
you could damage the surface.
Do not carry out continuous measurements on rough surfaces as this could damage the sensor.

Menu
To open the menu, press the
key. The upper part of the display shows you the menu level
currently open. The lower part of the display shows the currently selected function at the menu
level. You can use the arrow keys to select between the functions and also change parameter
values. Press the key
to open the corresponding function. Press the back key to go back one
level.
