5 TAKING A READING

The gauge should be calibrated before taking readings, see Section 7
'Calibrating the Gauge' on page en-6.
To take a reading:
1 Whilst holding the gauge perpendicular, gently place the probe
onto the surface.
The reading may be inaccurate if the probe is not held flat against the
4
surface.
2
The coating thickness is shown on the display.
'>1000µm' ('>40mils') indicates a reading outside the gauge range.

3 For subsequent readings, lift the probe off and then replace it on
to the coated surface.
Using ElcoMaster the Elcometer 415 can simultaneously transmit the
live reading to a PC or mobile device (Model T only) for report
generation, see Section 8 'Downloading Data' on page en-8 for more
information.
The Elcometer 415 calculates and displays statistical values as each
reading is taken, see Section 6 'Statistics' for details.
