4.9 REMOVING THE CALIBRATION TILE
The Elcometer 480 Calibration Tile
has been designed to fit tightly to the
base of the gauge, ensuring that it is
held firmly in place during the
calibration process. To remove,
simply unclip the calibration tile using
the lip along the top edge.
5 LIMIT STANDARDS - MODEL T
Limit standards are acceptable tolerance levels as defined by the user
allowing the user to compare readings to pre-defined values or
approved samples (standards). Limit Standards can be created
manually or automatically and saved in the gauge memory for future
selection. The Elcometer 480 Model T can store up to 40 pre-
programmed limit standards. These Limit Standards can be saved to
a PC (within ElcoMaster ) and transferred to any other Elcometer 480
Model T gauge.
Each 'Limit Standard' can consist of a nominal or target value (x) -
required for 'Readings & Differential' - a low ( ) and / or high ( ) limit
value for gloss and / or Haze measurements.
A 'Limit Standard' can be created in the gauge manually, automatically
using the gauge's scanning function or via PC using ElcoMaster .
Manual; the nominal, high and low limits for each angle of gloss a nd /
Ÿ
or haze value are manually entered into the gauge by the user.
Automatic; an approved surface or surfaces are scanned using
Ÿ
the gauge's scanning function. The Limit Standard is created
automatically setting the average of the scanned 20º , 60º, 85º
gloss and Haze values as the nominal values for each individual
geometry together with the lowest and highest reading for each
geometry.
ElcoMaster and PC; Limit Standards can be created within
Ÿ
ElcoMaster manually and transferred to any Elcometer 480
Model T. Similarly, Limit Standards created on a gauge can be
saved to PC and transferred to any other Elcometer 480 Model T.
