1. INTRODUcTION
The PowderTAG is a photo-thermal gauge which measures film thickness non -contact and
non-destructive. It complies with standard: DIN EN 15042-2. The small and robust instrument is
suitable for fast and precise coating thickness measurement of powder coatings on metallic
substrates before and after cure. The measurement system consists of a sensor and a display
device. The sensor is connected to the display device with a cable.
Please note that the performance-, range- and accuracy of the PowderTAG is depending on the
structure and specific colour of the powder coating. The majority of powder coatings can be
measured without any problems. In rare occasions the coating is not compatible with the photo
thermal technology or special settings are required.
special settings always relate to a specific powder from a specific manufacturer and NOT to a
specific colour.
Because heat disturbs the photo-thermal measuring principle, the measurement object needs to
be cooled down to approx 40°C when the measurement is performed.
1.1 Information on the Instructions
This manual allows for the safe and efficient use of the instrument. The manual is part of a
measuring instrument and must at all times be kept accessible and nearby the gauge for the
staff.
The personnel must have read and understood this manual carefully before starting work.
Basic requirement for safe working is the observance of all specified safety and handling
instructions in this manual.
Moreover, the local work safety regulations and general safety regulations for the application of
the PowderTAG shall apply.
Illustrations in this manual are provided for basic understanding and may differ from the actual
design.
1.2 safety
All warnings must be read and observed in order to work safely and securely with the gauge.
Never make the warning labels on the instrument unrecognizable. Keep these instructions in a
