VOLTCRAFT SDM-2125 Coating Thickness Gauge User Manual

1. Introducció

This user manual provides detailed instructions for the operation and maintenance of the VOLTCRAFT SDM-2125 Coating Thickness Gauge. This device is designed for high-precision and non-destructive measurements of coating thickness on both ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates. It automatically detects the substrate material and determines the coating thickness using magnetic flux or eddy current principles.

The SDM-2125 weighs approximately 180 g and can store up to 500 data groups. It features a clear display that indicates whether measured values are within set limits (green for within limits, red for below limit, yellow for exceeding limit). For energy efficiency, the device automatically switches off after five minutes of inactivity. It supports both single-point and multi-point measurements, and its advanced algorithm for calculating measurement averages ensures quick and accurate results.

2. Característiques clau

• Dual-Purpose Measurement: Suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
• Principis de mesura: Utilizes both magnetic flux and eddy current measurement methods.
• Automatic Substrate Detection: Automatically identifies the underlying material (ferrous or non-ferrous).
• Emmagatzematge de dades: Capable of storing up to 500 data groups for comprehensive analysis.
• Flexible Measurement Modes: Offers two measurement options: single-point measurement or continuous multi-point measurement.
• Limit Value Indication: Visual feedback (green, red, yellow) to indicate if measurements are within, below, or above set limits.
• Apagat automàtic: Conserves battery life by automatically powering down after five minutes of inactivity.

3.3 Engegada inicial i calibratge

1. Premeu el botó d'engegada per encendre el dispositiu.
2. Perform a zero-point calibration on a bare, uncoated metal substrate (ferrous and non-ferrous, if applicable) provided with the device. Follow the on-screen instructions or refer to the quick start guide for specific calibration steps.
3. Calibrate with the included calibration foils of known thickness to ensure accuracy across the measurement range.

4. Funcionament

4.1 Mesura bàsica

1. Assegureu-vos que el dispositiu estigui encès i calibrat.
2. Place the probe of the gauge firmly and perpendicularly onto the coated surface to be measured.
3. The device will automatically detect the substrate material (Fe for ferrous, NFe for non-ferrous) and display the coating thickness reading.
4. Observe the color indicator on the display for limit value status (green, red, or yellow).

4.2 Modes de mesura

The SDM-2125 supports different measurement modes:

• Mode de mesura única: For individual readings at specific points. Press the probe, read the value, then lift the probe.
• Mode de mesurament continu: For scanning a surface and obtaining multiple readings rapidly. Keep the probe in contact and slide it across the surface. The device will continuously update the reading.

4.3 Emmagatzematge i recuperació de dades

The device can store up to 500 data groups.

• To save a measurement, refer to the device's specific button functions (e.g., a 'Save' or 'Memory' button).
• To recall stored data, navigate through the memory function using the designated buttons. The device typically displays statistics like average, minimum, and maximum values for stored groups.

5. Manteniment

5.1 Neteja

• Regularly clean the device's exterior with a soft, dry cloth.
• Per a la brutícia persistent, una mica deamp cloth with mild detergent can be used, but ensure no liquid enters the device.
• Pay special attention to keeping the measurement probe clean and free of debris, as this can affect accuracy.
• No utilitzeu netejadors abrasius, dissolvents ni productes químics forts.

5.2 Emmagatzematge

• When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage to the device.
• Store the device in its original case or a protective pouch to prevent scratches and impacts.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.

5.3 Comprovació de la calibració

• Periodically check the calibration of the device using the provided calibration foils and zero-calibration plate.
• Recalibrate if readings are inconsistent or if the device has been subjected to significant temperature changes or impacts.
