3. Producte acabatview
The GYS 059856 Paint Thickness Gauge features a compact design with an LCD display and intuitive controls.

Figura 1: Frontal view of the GYS 059856 Paint Thickness Gauge. The device is yellow with a black LCD screen at the top. Below the screen are three black buttons: 'MODE' on the left, 'UNIT' on the right, and 'ZERO' with a power symbol in the center bottom.
3.1 Components clau
- Pantalla LCD: Shows measurement readings, units, and mode indicators.
- Botó MODE: Used to switch between measurement modes (Single, Continuous, Differential).
- Botó UNIT: Used to switch between metric (µm) and imperial (mils) units.
- Botó ZERO: Used for zero calibration and powering the device on/off.
- Sonda de mesura: Located at the bottom of the device, used to contact the surface for measurement.
4. Configuració
4.1 Instal·lació de la bateria
Locate the battery compartment on the back of the device. Insert the required batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the battery compartment securely.
4.2 Engegada/apagada
Manteniu premut el botó ZERO botó per encendre el dispositiu. Per apagar-lo, manteniu premut el botó ZERO button again. The device also features an automatic shut-off function to conserve battery life.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
The GYS 059856 offers three measurement modes and supports both metric and imperial units.
5.1 Selecting Measurement Units
Premeu el botó UNITAT button to toggle between metric (µm) and imperial (mils) units.
5.2 Modes de mesura
Premeu el botó MODE per anar canviant pels següents modes de mesura:
- Mode de mesura única: Takes a single reading each time the probe is placed on the surface.
- Mode de mesurament continu: Continuously takes readings as the probe is moved across the surface.
- Differential Measurement Mode: Displays the difference between the current reading and a previously set reference value.
5.3 Prendre una mesura
- Ensure the surface to be measured is clean and free of debris.
- Select the desired measurement unit and mode.
- Place the measurement probe firmly and perpendicularly onto the coated metallic surface.
- Read the thickness value displayed on the LCD screen.
- Lift the device from the surface to prepare for the next measurement (in Single mode).
6. Calibració
Accurate measurements depend on proper calibration. The device supports three calibration functions:
6.1 Calibració zero
This calibration is performed on an uncoated, bare metallic surface to establish a zero reference point. Place the probe on a clean, uncoated metal surface and follow the on-screen instructions or refer to the device's specific calibration sequence (usually involving the ZERO botó).
6.2 Calibració de dos punts
This method uses two known thickness standards (e.g., a thin film and a thicker film) to calibrate the device across a range. This provides more accurate readings for varying thicknesses.
6.3 Easy Calibration
Refer to the device's specific instructions for "Easy Calibration," which may involve a simplified process for quick adjustments.
Note: Always calibrate the device before critical measurements or if you suspect inaccurate readings.
7. Manteniment
- Neteja: Netegeu el dispositiu amb un drap suau i sec. No utilitzeu productes de neteja abrasius ni dissolvents.
- Emmagatzematge: Store the device in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries.
- Cura de la sonda: Keep the measurement probe clean and free from scratches or damage.
8. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| El dispositiu no s'encén. | Piles baixes o gastades; polaritat incorrecta de la pila. | Replace batteries; check battery orientation. |
| Lectures inexactes. | Device not calibrated; dirty probe; surface not clean; incorrect measurement mode. | Perform calibration; clean probe and surface; select appropriate measurement mode. |
| La pantalla mostra "OL" o "Err". | Measurement range exceeded; sensor error. | Ensure measurement is within device's range; restart device. If error persists, contact support. |
