Note - Scale Choice, Material density and Scale
Sensitivity:
It is important that the appropriate scale is
used for the type of material being tested. This
ensures that the most accurate and meaningful
readings are obtained. The scale descriptions
on the instrument show the materials that the
meter was calibrated to. This should be used as
a guide, ie the least sensitive Scale 5 to be used
for the most dense material.

Note - Depth of Non-Destructive Penetration:
Depth of non-destructive Penetration field of
each Scale 1,3,4 and 5
Depending on the density of the material being
tested, these fields penetrate the material under
test to approximately 30mm (1 1/4 inches) from
the surface. When testing thin materials such as
wood veneers it is recommended that they are
stacked to at least that thickness.
