Elcometer 456 Model E - Pre-defined Calibration Methods

Method
Description Icon Model
Auto
This is a calibration method unique to the
Elcometer 456 and has been designed to
simplify
and speed up the calibration process for
those
users who are calibrating their gauge using
the
same foil values each time.
When the Auto calibration method is
selected,
the user is asked to pre-program the high and
low
foil values. The low foil value can be set to
0.0µm
(0.0mils) for un-coated substrates.
Once these foil values have been set up
,
selecting the calibrate routine allows the user
to
simply place the probe on the high foil
three
times, followed by the low foil three times and
the
gauge is automatically calibrated - returning
the
user to the main reading screen - automatically.
ST
Factory By selecting this calibration method th
e
Elcometer 456 returns the calibration to th
e
gauge’s factory calibration settings.
The factory calibration method should only
be
used if there is no other means of calibration
(e.g.
lost foils, lack of access to substrate, etc.).

Pre-defined Calibration Methods (ST)
In addition to the standard calibration methods described on pages
16 - 18, the Elcometer 456 has a four pre-defined calibration methods
which follow relevant standards.
These pre-defined calibration methods not only define the calibration
routine to be used, but also set up the data collection method, as
defined by the appropriate standard.
For this reason, pre-defined calibration methods can only be selected
whilst the gauge is in batching mode. For more information on
batching or data collection methods, see Batching on page 26.
