Device calibration
Deleting previous calibration settings:
1. Enter menu mode (press left button), select
„Calibration: option. Conrm (press left button).
2. Select „Clear All“ option. Conrm (press left button).
3. A dialogue window will appear. Conrm (press left
button).
Zero calibration:
1. Press and hold the zero calibration button (SBS-
CT-123/SBS-CT-123 PRO: No. 12, model SBS-CT-
123E: No. 14) until an acoustic signal sounds and
„ZERO“ is shown on the display.
2. Measure the same location on the included, non-
coated calibration plate a number of times. After
the initial measurement, perform the subsequent
measurements by press the probe against the plate
upon hearing a single acoustic signal;
3. To complete calibration press the calibration button
(SBS-CT-123 / SBS-CT-123 PRO: No. 12, model SBS-
CT-123E: No. 14). The device will exit calibration
mode.
Multi-point calibration:
1. Press the calibration button (10) (model SBS-CT-123/
SBS-CT-123 PRO) or enter the menu by pressing
the left button () – > Select „Calibration“ using the
up/down buttons, conrm using left button – >
select „Point Cal“, conrm using left button – >
select Enable (active), conrm using left button – >
press right button until a main screen with the sign
CALIBRATION appears on the display. (model SBS-
CT-123E);
2. Place the calibration lm on the uncoated calibration
plate (thickness indicators are shown on the lm).
3. Press the probe against the plate with the lm, raise
after the acoustic signal sounds, the reading will be
displayed.
4. Press either up or down buttons. The current
calibration point will be shown on the display, „Ptn
X“, „X“ will ash
5. Use up/down buttons to increase / decrease reading
value until the display shows the same value as
shown on the calibration lm. Use left button to
conrm.
6. Use the probe to perform subsequent measurements
for calibration lms of dierent thickness. Repeat
steps described in points 3-5.
7. To exit calibration mode, press the calibration button
(10) (model SBS-CT-123 / SBS-CT-123 PRO) or enter
the menu by pressing the left button () – > Select
„Calibration“ using the up/down buttons, conrm
using left button – > select „Point Cal“, conrm using
left button – > select Disable (inactive), conrm using
left button (model SBS-CT-123E);
Data upload
To upload data from the device onto a computer, install the
device driver and the EasyCoating programme found on
the CD included with the device. Then connect the device to
a computer via a USB port. The device has to be on during
data download.

2.2 Preparing for use
Battery installation
Remove the screws and cover. Insert batteries in accordance
with the markings and signs on the device. Screw the cover
back on.
To change batteries, make sure the device is o.
2.3 Device use
Turning the meter on and o
Press the POWER button to turn the device on/o. The
device will also power o automatically if latent for 3
minutes (if the Auto PowerO function is activated).
First use
When switched on for the rst time, the device will enter
factory settings mode, i.e.: „Measure Mode“. Calibrate the
device before rst use (see Calibration section below).
Measurements
Do perform a measurement, place the probe against the
tested surface. Once the acoustic signal sounds, read o
the measured value.
ATTENTION! When switching the device on make sure it is
at least 5cm away from any metal items!
ATTENTION! Measurements of porous surfaces may
generate faulty readings!
ATTENTION! After switching the device on in DIR mode,
the display will be empty and when in GEN mode the last
measurement and average measurements will appear on
the display.
The user may set measurements parameters and display
them in the device menu.
DEVICE MENU:
• DELETE DATA (deleting saved data):
» CURRENT DATA (current data: pressing the left
button will delete the last measurement)
» CURRENT GROUP (current group: pressing the left
button will delete the entire, most recently measured
set of data)
• RECALL (last measurement)
• BROWSE STAT. (measurement statistics):
» NUMBER(quantity)
» MEAN (measurement average)
» MIN (smallest measurement)
» MAX (largest measurement
• OPTIONS(options):
» MEASURE MODE (measurement method selection):
o SINGLE (single measurement: press the probe
against the tested surface and then remove it
quickly and eciently)
