By turning the knob, you can select a menu
option and confirm your selection by pushing
the knob. This will take you to the
corresponding submenu.
In order to test your object, please choose
"Measurement mode". As an example we
have selected 1 ounce of fine gold (Au 999;
nominal value: 44.7 MS/m). Different factors
like embossing depth, fluting, scratches, air
gap, etc. have the effect that the measured
value does not always correspond exactly to
the nominal value. The tolerance ranges can
be found in the conductivity overview on
page 28.
Place the test object from above (see left) as
centered as possible on the measurement
circle ②. This is especially important for
smaller objects that do not completely cover
the sensor coil (diameter of 2 cm.)
The
determined
displayed as a number in upper section of the
display in the unit Megasiemens per meter
(MS/m). The GoldScreenSensor determines
which metal or alloy corresponds to this
conductivity value and displays it underneath
the conductivity value in the middle of the
display (only fine gold and silver, their alloys
and
copper).
Additionally,
overview of the conductivity value's position
on the scale of 0-65 MS/m is shown thanks to
a cursor on the scale in the lower part of the
screen. For the metals and alloys mentioned
above, the nominal value is additionally
highlighted in green.
Further (precious) metals and alloys stored in
the device, especially of typical fakes such as
tungsten / tungsten-copper are displayed in
the section "Additional information" above
the scale in grey letters.
In the case of a counterfeit (e.g. made of a
tungsten alloy), the result could be shown as
in the figure on the left.
