Operations

Thank you for choosing the Testboy® TB 74.

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
