Common problems and solutions in the use of layer thickness gauges
1. Why can't I turn on my coating thickness gauge after I haven't used it for nearly a year?
Answer: When the user receives the newly purchased thickness gauge, he must first charge the instrument. Generally, it takes 8 hours to charge. If there is no charging and discharging for a long time, the battery of the instrument is easy to lock up, and the battery life will also be affected. If you use a new machine, if it cannot be turned on, it may be that the battery is locked, and you need to activate it according to the instructions. If it still cannot be turned on, please do not open the machine by yourself, but return it to the maintenance station for repair.
2. How to recover after the battery is locked?
Answer: After the battery is locked, the user can operate by forced reset according to the corresponding model manual. When there are text or numbers displayed, charge immediately. If it still cannot be restored, please contact the maintenance station.
3. What should be paid attention to after restoring the factory settings?
Answer: After the instrument is forced to reset, basic calibration must be carried out. The calibration method can be operated according to the manual, or consult the sales and maintenance personnel of the era.
4. Why does the measured value of the workpiece still appear "inaccurate" after calibration on the calibration test piece attached to the machine?
Answer: There are many factors that affect the measured value, which is described in detail in the instruction manual. The properties of metal materials, surface roughness, etc. all have an impact on the measured value. The base material that comes with the machine is often very different from the metal base material on the user's site. Therefore, we suggest that the base material and test piece provided with the machine are only used for instrument calibration, and the same material that has not been sprayed on site should be used as the base material when actually measuring the workpiece on site.
5. What is the reason for the error message starting with E?
Answer: The error prompt function is a unique function of the Times Coating Thickness Gauge, which is convenient for users to describe the fault. Different error messages represent different faults. For example, E02 represents the wear of the measuring head. There are detailed tables at the end of these manuals. You can refer to.
6. How to shut down the coating thickness gauge?
Answer: TT220/230 both adopt automatic shutdown, usually 3-5 minutes after stop using.
7. The coating thickness gauge does not have a charging indicator light, how to judge whether it is fully charged?
Answer: The charging time of the coating thickness gauge is generally 8 hours for a newly purchased machine, and it needs to be charged for 2-3 hours after normal use.
8. The coating thickness gauge is equipped with F/N dual probes. When calibrating, should they be calibrated separately, or is it enough to calibrate only one probe?
Answer: Times thickness gauges have been calibrated when they leave the market. Users should not calibrate the instrument easily. If there is a large deviation, calibration can be performed under the guidance of Times sales or customer service personnel. Instruments equipped with F/N dual-purpose probes must be separated. to calibrate.
9. Why can't the coating thickness gauge automatically identify the substrate sometimes?
Answer: The coating thickness gauge is an integrated instrument for both iron-based and non-ferrous-based applications. It adopts the Chinese menu operation method and can automatically identify the substrate, but there are "automatic" and "magnetic" and "eddy current" in the menu options. There are several selection methods. Only by selecting the "Auto" mode can the base material be automatically identified. If you only measure iron-based materials, you can select the "Magnetic" option.
