Date Format
Please note that the time and date is replaced by the batch name
when the gauge is in Batch mode.
When a batch is created, re-opened (or when the gauge is switched
on whilst in batch mode) and when each reading is taken, the time and
date details are stored within the batch - allowing the user to have an
accurate record of when the measurements were taken. The time and
date stamp for each reading is displayed on ElcoMaster™.
Multiple calibration methods (EBST)
Calibration adjustment is the process of setting the gauge to known
values of thickness to ensure accuracy on different substrate types,
shapes and surface finishes and is often referred to as simply the
“calibration”.
The calibration of the gauge can be adjusted using several different
methods for use in accordance with National and International
Standards and the calibration adjustment method chosen depends on
the condition of the substrate to be measured.
The calibration method is indicated on the screen by a symbol.
When using an FNF probe it must be calibrated in both the ferrous
mode and in the non-ferrous mode to ensure accuracy of reading.
When using an Ultra/Scan probe in Scan Mode or Auto Repeat
Mode (see Measurement Modes on page 25), it must be calibrated
using either the Smooth or Rough/2 Point calibration method.
When switching between the Scale 1 and Scale 2 functions of the
scale 2 probes (Menu/Setup/Probe) the Elcometer 456 should be re-
calibrated to ensure accuracy across the appropriate measurement
range.
