Operations
Thank you for choosing the Testboy® TB 74.
The test probe can be used for making digital measurements to determine the
thickness of layers on magnetic metals. It is designed for use in professional
workshops and service departments. Three LEDs are used to indicate the
thickness of the layers within different ranges.
Automatic power-off
The Testboy TB 74 features an automatic shut-off feature.
Determining the layer thickness
Remove the tester’s lid and press the button to turn it on. Hold the test
probe on the surface to be measured while simultaneously reading the result on
the LEDs.
Display
The display consists of three LEDs that indicate the layer thickness range.
- Red >400 μm
- Yellow / red 300 – 350 μm
- Yellow 150 – 300 μm
- Green / yellow 100 – 150 μm
- Green 0 – 100 μm
The device is pre-set to these ranges and does not need to be calibrated.
WARNING Always replace the cap. The sensor tip is sensitive!
