IMPORTANT:
The PosiTector 200 will ignore any readings outside the
selected range. If the coating thickness is outside this range,
incorrect or dashed readings may occur.
Here are some typical Range settings...
Expected paint thickness
500 µm (20 mils) on concrete
50 µm (2 mils) on wood
Thickness
The PosiTector 200 measures most polymer coatings accurately
out-of-box with no adjustment required.
To determine if an adjustment is necessary, select a coating
sample of known thickness as close as possible in composition
to the intended application. For best results, the thickness of the
sample should be equal to or slightly greater than the maximum
expected thickness of the coating to be measured.
Measure the coated sample. If the average of a series of
measurements on the sample is not close to the known
thickness...
1. Select the Thickness menu option.
2. Use
or
thickness value to match the known thickness of the sample.
3. For Advanced models with multiple layers selected, use the
button to select the next layer and adjust as necessary.
4. To save adjustments, use
the
button.
Polyurea
When checked, the Gage loads a pre-programmed calibration
adjustment optimized for measurement of polyurea coatings.
Cal Lock
When checked, the
adjustment is "locked" to prevent further user adjustments.
