Certification
Every Elcometer 456 gauge and separate probe is supplied with a Test Certificate free of
charge. For separate gauges, the test measurements are generated using factory reference
probes. Each probe test certificate is generated using factory reference gauges.
Comprehensive Calibration Certificates, traceable to National Standards (UKAS and NIST)
are also available and should be requested at the point of order. Please speak to your
Elcometer representative for further information.
Warranty and Maintenance
The Elcometer 456 does not contain any user serviceable components. In the unlikely event
of a fault, the gauge should be returned to your local Elcometer supplier or directly to
Elcometer. The warranty will be invalidated if the gauge has been opened.
The Elcometer 456 gauge is supplied with a 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects. To
extend this warranty to 2 years, register your gauge via the www.elcometer.com website.
Probes are consumable items and have a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase against
manufacturing defects only. The probe tip will wear and its life will depend on the number of
readings taken and how abrasive the coating is. Probe life can be prolonged by careful
positioning of the probe on the surface.
This gauge incorporates a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). If the display reaches a temperature
above 70°C (158°F) it may be damaged. This can happen if the gauge is left in a car, parked in
strong sunlight.
Always store the gauge in its carrying pouch when not in use.
Remove the batteries from the gauge and store them separately if the gauge is to remain
unused for a long period of time. This will prevent damage to the gauge in the event of
malfunction of the batteries.
