Cal/Factory Calibration
Ÿ The factory calibration returns the gauge to
the calibration set up during manufacture
and final test. The factory calibration is a
smooth surface calibration using factory
reference probes
Ÿ When the correct calibration method has been
selected, press Cal/Calibrate and follow the on
screen instructions.
Ÿ Taking multiple readings on each foil will
increase the accuracy of the calibration.
Note: Auto, ISO, SSPC PA2, Swedish and
Australian cal methods - where available -
can only be selected whilst in batching as
memory is required.
Testing (BST) & Validating (ST) Calibrations
Ÿ The calibration of any Elcometer 456 B, S
or T gauge can be checked at any time,
without affecting any statistics or batch
memory.
Ÿ By selecting Cal/Test Calibration the user
can check the calibration of the gauge by
comparing the reading value displayed
versus the measured foil or coated
standard value. (ST)
Ÿ Pressing the Validate Softkey will update
the date and time of the last calibration.

Each batch can have its own unique calibration,
simply calibrate each batch independently.
