TI-45N Operating Instruction Guide

2.0 PRECAUTIONS

1. The probe surface is fabricated from acrylic resin and care should be taken to

insure that it is not scratched by sliding over rough surfaces. The probe should

be placed down for measurements and lifted vertically when complete. Do not

slide over rough surfaces.

2. Do not use this gauge where material temperatures exceed 140 °F (60 °C) as the

probe will be damaged. Use the CHECK•LINE Model TI-25H High Temperature

Thickness Gauge for these applications.

3. Keep the gauge free of dust (especially metal powders, carbon, etc.) as they will

damage the PC Board. Use a damp cloth to clean the gauge after use. DO NOT

USE CHEMICAL SOLVENTS OF ANY KIND.

APPENDIX

The TI-45N Thickness Gauge is supplied from the factory set for an acoustic velocity

of 5930 m/sec for the measurement of steel. To measure the thickness of any other

material, the acoustic velocity must be changed. When checking the built-in calibration

sample, the gauge will display the “Equivalent Value” listed in the Table in section 6.4,

instead of 0.197" (or 5.0 mm)
