5.1.2 Change the measuring mode
There are two measuring modes available: single measurement and continuous measurement. To
change the modes, press and hold the power button for approx. 8 seconds
until the indication “SC”
appears on the display. After that, release the power button. The measuring mode changes automatically.
You can identify the current measuring mode by looking at the indication on the display. The indication
“S” means you are in single measurement mode. The indication “●” means you are in continuous
measurement mode.
5.2 Calibration
Before you take a measurement, you should calibrate the device to make sure the readings are accurate.
The calibrations for ferrous and non-ferrous materials should be done separately.
To calibrate the device, follow these steps:
1. Check the display
to see which material settings are active. “Fe” means ferrous materials, “NFe”
means non-ferrous materials.
2. Take the iron calibration plate
if “Fe” is active or the aluminium calibration plate if “NFe” is active.
3. Place the sensor on the calibration plate and press the zero button. Now, the display should show
“0”.
4. Take a calibration foil which is in your measuring range, place it on the calibration plate and take
a measurement.
5. Check if the displayed value matches with the properties of the calibration foil.
If the value does not match with the properties, you have to manually adjust the reading. To do so,
remove the cover of the battery compartment and use a paper clip or something similar and the two
calibration orifices (see the following picture) to increase/decrease the value.
