How to Use Auto Paint Thickness Gauge Accurately?

How to use auto paint thickness gauge accurately?

This matter may bother a lot of people. Today , we will introduce how to use the Linshang LS220B auto paint thickness gauge.  Linshang auto paint thickness gauge has three measurement modes: iron-substrate measurement mode (Fe), non-ferrous substrate measurement mode (NFe) and automatic identification mode (Fe/NFe). In general, the Fe/NFe mode can be used. For application with clearly indicated substrate, the Fe or NFe mode can be set as a fix mode.

Press the button quickly (press it within 2 seconds) to select the substrate to be measured. After a short pause (more than 2 seconds), the gauge automatically confirms the selection result and enters the measurement state.

Zero-adjustment
    Zero adjustment is required when using the gauge for the first time, after inserting new batteries, working with different materials or ambient temperature changes. We strictly recommend carrying out the reference check on the uncoated original substrate, due to the difference of magnetic and conductive properties of the material, some measurement deviation will be caused. If this is not possible, please use the zero reference plates supplied with in the case, there are Fe plate and NFe plate, please choose correctly according to the measuring materials.

1. Hold the probe still, long press the button for 3s, the gauge will display “zero reference place probe” (as shown in below picture).

2. +INFI Non-mental substrate: In the manual non-ferrous mode, the valid measurement range is exceeded or the measured object is a nonmetal substrate.

3. +INFI Non-ferrous substrate: In the manual iron-based measurement mode, the valid measurement range is exceeded or the measured object is a non-ferrous substrate.

4. +INFI Non-metal substrate: In the automatic mode, the valid measurement range is exceeded or the measured object is a nonmetal substrate.
