Principles of Operation
F probes use the magnetic principle to measure the thickness of
non-magnetic coatings on ferrous metals.
N probes use the eddy current principle to measure the thickness of
non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous metals.
FN probes combine the full abilities of both the "F" and "N" probes.
Quick Start
Quick Start
The PosiTector 6000 powers-up when the center navigation button is
pressed. To preserve battery life, it powers-down after approximately
5 minutes of no activity. All settings are retained.
1. Remove the protective plastic cap (if supplied) from probe.
2. Power-up Gage by pressing the center navigation button.
3. Place the probe FLAT on the surface to be measured.
HOLD STEADY. When a valid measurement is calculated, the Gage
BEEPS twice and the measurement is displayed.
4. Lift probe AT LEAST 2 INCHES (5cm) from the surface between
measurements - OR - leave probe on the surface in the same
location for continuous measurements.
