Insize Coating Thickness Gauge 9501-1200
Manual d'usuari
1. Producte acabatview
The Insize Coating Thickness Gauge 9501-1200 is a precision instrument designed for non-destructive measurement of coating thickness. It is capable of measuring both non-magnetic coatings on magnetic substrates (ferrous, Fe) and non-conductive coatings on non-magnetic substrates (non-ferrous, NFe). This gauge is widely used in manufacturing, quality control, and inspection processes to ensure proper coating application.

4. Configuració
4.1 Instal·lació de la bateria
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the gauge.
- Obriu la tapa de la bateria.
- Introduïu dues piles AA d'1.5 V, assegurant-vos de la polaritat correcta (+/-).
- Tanqueu la tapa de la bateria amb seguretat.
4.2 Connexió de la sonda
Connect the desired measurement probe (Fe or NFe) to the probe port on the top of the main unit. Ensure the connector is firmly seated.
4.3 Encès/Apagat
Premeu el botó Poder button (red button) to turn the gauge on. Press and hold the Poder botó de nou per apagar-lo.
4.4 Initial Calibration (Zero Calibration)
Before first use or after changing probes, perform a zero calibration:
- Ensure the probe is clean.
- Place the probe firmly and flatly on the corresponding zero calibration block (e.g., Fe probe on Fe zero block).
- Premeu el botó ZERO button. The display should show "0.0" or a value very close to zero.
- Repeat for the NFe probe and its respective zero block if applicable.
4.5 Calibration with Foils
For accurate measurements, especially when measuring different materials or ranges, calibrate using the provided calibration foils:
- Place a calibration foil (e.g., 100μm) on the zero calibration block.
- Place the probe firmly on the foil.
- Adjust the reading to match the foil's thickness using the up/down arrow buttons.
- Repeat with other foils as needed to cover the expected measurement range.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Mesura bàsica
- Ensure the gauge is powered on and calibrated.
- Select the appropriate probe (Fe for magnetic substrates, NFe for non-magnetic substrates). The gauge typically auto-detects the substrate type.
- Place the probe gently and perpendicularly onto the coated surface to be measured.
- The measurement reading will appear on the display. Hold the probe steady until the reading stabilizes.
- Lift the probe from the surface to take another measurement.
5.2 Modes de mesura
The gauge supports different measurement modes:
- Mode de mesura única: Takes one reading each time the probe is applied.
- Mode de mesurament continu: Allows for continuous readings as the probe is moved across the surface. This is useful for scanning larger areas. Refer to the specific button on your device (often indicated by an icon) to switch between modes.
5.3 Emmagatzematge i recuperació de dades
The gauge has internal memory to store measurement data. Use the designated buttons (e.g., MEM or similar icon) to save readings and recall them later. Consult the on-screen icons for navigation.
5.4 Tolerance Setting
The gauge allows setting upper and lower tolerance limits. If a measurement falls outside these limits, the gauge may provide an audible or visual alert. Use the TOL button to access and adjust tolerance settings.
5.5 Llum de fons
Premeu el botó Llum button (often with a lightbulb icon) to turn the display backlight on or off for improved visibility in low-light conditions.
6. Manteniment
6.1 Neteja
- Netegeu la unitat principal amb un drap suau i sec. No utilitzeu productes de neteja abrasius ni dissolvents.
- Keep the probe tip clean and free of debris. Use a soft cloth or cotton swab. Do not scratch the probe surface.
6.2 Substitució de la bateria
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries promptly to ensure accurate readings and prevent data loss. Refer to section 4.1 for battery installation instructions.
6.3 Emmagatzematge
Store the gauge and its accessories in the provided carrying case in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
6.4 Freqüència de calibratge
Regular calibration is crucial for maintaining accuracy. It is recommended to perform zero calibration before each use or when changing measurement conditions. Full calibration with foils should be done periodically, or if you suspect inaccurate readings.
7. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| El mesurador no s'encén. | Piles gastades o instal·lades incorrectament. | Canvieu les piles o comproveu la polaritat. |
| Lectures inexactes. | Probe tip dirty; improper calibration; incorrect substrate type selected; strong magnetic interference. | Clean probe tip; perform zero and foil calibration; ensure correct probe/mode for substrate; move away from magnetic sources. |
| Display shows "Err" or "OL". | Measurement out of range; probe not properly seated; sensor error. | Ensure measurement is within specified range; re-seat probe; re-calibrate. If error persists, contact support. |
| No response from buttons. | Dispositiu bloquejat; bateria baixa. | Turn off and on again; replace batteries. |
