1500 PaintMeter Coating Rhickness Tester
Manufacturer: ADA Instruments
Address: www.adainstruments.com
APPLICATION
This product is a color-screen portable coating thickness gauge with color HD display. It is used for thickness measurement of non-magnetic coatings on magnetic and non-magnetic metal substrates. At the same time it can automatically identify magnetic metal substrate and non-magnetic metal substrate. It is widely used in manufacturing, metal processing industry, chemical industry, commodity inspection and other testing areas.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
- Menu operation and color HD display.
- Thickness measurement of non-magnetic coatings on magnetic and non-magnetic metal substrates.
- Two measurement modes: single measurement, continuous measurement.
- Basic calibration and Zero-point calibration.
- Metric/imperial unit and storage function.
- Screen rotation, multi-interface displays, screen brightness selection.
- Automatic shutdown.
① FEATURES
- USB charging interface
- LCD display
- Back button and On/Off button
- Confirm button
- Up button
- Down button
- Test probe
OPERATION
After startup, lightly press test probe on the substrate to be tested under measurement interface. Measured value is appeared on the display. It shows the coating thickness of substrate.
② DISPLAY
a. Mode: single (sng) / continuous (ctn)
b. Battery power indicator
c. Measurement counting
d. Substrate: Fe/nFe
e. Display area of measured value
f. Unit : um/mil
g. Measurement difference
h. Average value
i. Maximum value
j. Minimum value
k. High limit
l. Low limit
③ MENUE
Press (3) button to enter menu.
Press “OK” button for quick entry of measured data menu.
④ SCREEN ROTATION
Hold and press button (5) to rotate screen.
⑤ MENU FUNCTIONS
Enter measurement sub-items for operation with buttons up/down.
CALIBRATION
Basic calibration:
Prepare the calibration plates and calibration base, enter calibration menu
and select CALIBRATION.
According to the instructions, place the corresponding calibration plate for
calibration.
After calibration is completed, “calibration complete” will show up at the
bottom of the screen and the tool will return to the previous interface.
After the calibration is complete, you can go back to measurement interface
and perform measurement.
Magnetic and non-magnetic metal base calibration do not affect each other.
Note: When performing basic calibration, press the base of the tool when
the arrow is down, and remove it when the arrow is up.
Zero Calibration:
Enter calibration menu and select zero calibration.
Place and hold the probe on the subtrate until the full green line on the
display.
The tool will automatically calibrate to zero point.
The instrument displays the previous interface after calibration is done.
After calibration is complete, you can go back to measurement mode and perform
measurements.
⑥ LIMIT VALUE
Switch On the limit value: when the measured value is above high limit or
below low limit, the measured value will turn red and the corresponding icon
will appear.
If limit value switch is off, value of normal measurement will be displayed.
⑦ STORAGE
Measured data: users can view, save and delete measured data.
View: view saved data.
Delete: under delete interface, press button OK to delete one line. Press and
hold button OK to select all removals.
⑧⑨⑩ VIEW
Press button OK to turn um&mil switch on. Measurement results will be
displayed simultaneously in two units.
Turn on the necessary switch to check the measurement statistics, previous values and measurement schedule. Press UP/DOWN button to display data on the display during the measurement mode.
11 SETTINGS
Enter setting menu to perform corresponding operations.
