MPO Calibration Method for Coating Thickness Gauge
1 Switches the instrument on/off
Note: The instrument does not have a dedicated switch.
Turn on the instrument
- Automatically turns on when the instrument is placed on the workpiece. If the instrument is placed on a non-ferromagnetic or non-conductive material, the display will show "Er6" followed by four horizontal dashes without any reading.
- Another way to turn on the power is to press the [OK] key.
Please note!
Do not switch on the instrument by pressing the sensor with your finger! This may lead to erroneous measurement results.
Turn off the instrument / auto shut off
The instrument will automatically shut down after one minute of inactivity. (OFF = instrument does not display anything).
2 Measuring the coating thickness
1). After the instrument is turned on, put the instrument on the workpiece to be measured, and wait for the instrument to make a measurement sound. This way the instrument can be turned on automatically.
2). Lift the instrument away from the workpiece.
The reading is displayed after the sound is measured. Note: If the instrument is lifted too early (before there is a sound), the error message “Er6” will appear. Repeat step 1.
3). When the instrument is turned on, the reading will be displayed immediately. It will be displayed when the instrument is placed on the measuring workpiece and after it is lifted.
Measured with MP0
3 Display the measurement data stored in the instrument
The instrument can store up to 999 measurement data.
1). Use the [5] or [6] key to view the measurement data.
2). After turning over the first or last measurement data, the screen will display "- - - - " for about 1 second.
You can continue measuring at any time.
4 Delete all measurement data
1). Press the [5] or [6] key.
2). Press the [CAL] key.
"del" to delete will be displayed for 2 seconds.
3). Press the [OK] key when “del” is displayed.
All measurement data in the instrument will be deleted.
Pressing the [OK] key when “del” is not displayed will have no effect.
5 Normalization
Normalization is used to make adjustments to measuring instruments. Normalization requires an unplated substrate, and the shape and material of the substrate must be consistent with the workpiece being measured.
