The Elcometer 415 calculates and displays statistical values as each
reading is taken, see Section 6 ‘Statistics’ for details.
The gauge should be calibrated before taking readings, see Section 7
‘Calibrating the Gauge’ on page en-6.
1 Whilst holding the gauge perpendicular, gently place the probe
onto the surface.
To take a reading:
4 The reading may be inaccurate if the probe is not held flat against the
surface.
2
The coating thickness is shown on the display.
4 ‘>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.
4.6 SELECTING THE MEASUREMENT UNITS
The Elcometer 415 can take measurements in µm and mils. To set the
measurement units:
é
2 Use the softkeys to highlight ‘µm/mil’ and press ‘ ’ to
ê
alternate between ‘µm’ and ‘mil’, followed by the ç softkey to
return to the main reading screen.
4.7 SCREEN ROTATION
To enable / disable automatic screen rotation:
1 Press the ‘ ’ softkey.
é
2 Use the softkeys to highlight ‘ ’ and press ‘ ’ to alternate
ê
between ‘ ’ (disabled) and ‘ ’ (enabled), followed by the ç
softkey to return to the main reading screen.
1 Press the ‘ ’ softkey.
Using the internal accelerometer, the gauge will automatically rotate
the display to allow the user to easily read the thickness value in any
orientation - 0°, 90°, 180° & 270°.
