Notes
Declaration of conformity
Annotation: It is strongly recommended to calibrate
the new instrument before the first use, as
described in paragraph 5. By doing this it
will be achieved a much better measure-
ment result right from the start.
1. Features
* This instrument meets the standards of both, ISO 2360
and DIN as well as ASTM and BS.
It is suitable for the laboratory and for use in `harsh field`
conditions.
* The N- mode measures the thickness of nonmagnetic
coatings, e.g. anodizing, varnish, paint, enamel, plastic
coatings, powder etc. These layers are located on non-
magnetic metals e.g. aluminium, brass, nonmagnetic
stainless steel etc.
* Automatic substrate recognition
* Manual or automatically “auto power off” to conserve
batteries.
* Two measurement modes: - single and continuous
* Wide measuring range and high resolution
* Date transfer to PC possible
