3.2 Mise sous/hors tension

• To power on, press the Power button (⏻L'écran s'illuminera.
• Pour éteindre l'appareil, maintenez le bouton d'alimentation enfoncé (⏻) for a few seconds until the display turns off.
• The device will automatically shut down after 3 minutes of inactivity if the auto-off function is enabled.

4. Mode d'emploi

4.1 Mesure de base

1. Assurez-vous que l'appareil est sous tension.
2. Select the desired measurement unit (um, mm, or mils) by pressing the "um/mm/mils" button.
3. Select the appropriate measurement mode (AUTO, F, or N) by pressing the "F/NF" button.
   • VOITURE: Automatically detects the substrate type (ferrous or non-ferrous).
   • F (Ferrous): For measurements on magnetic substrates like iron or steel.
   • N (Non-Ferrous): For measurements on non-magnetic substrates like aluminum or copper.
4. Placez la sonde fermement et perpendiculairement sur la surface à mesurer.
5. La mesure s'affichera à l'écran.
6. Lift the device from the surface to take another measurement.

4.2 Fonction de rétroéclairage

To activate or deactivate the display backlight, press the "Light/CAL" button briefly. The backlight improves visibility in low-light conditions.

5. Étalonnage

Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your measurements. The device supports zero calibration and multi-point calibration.

5.1 Étalonnage du zéro

1. Ensure the device is powered on and in the desired measurement mode (F or N).
2. Place the probe directly onto the bare metal substrate (included standard aluminum or a known bare ferrous/non-ferrous surface).
3. Press and hold the "Light/CAL" button until "ZERO CAL" appears on the display.
4. Release the button. The device is now zero-calibrated for that specific substrate type.

5.2 Étalonnage multipoint

For enhanced accuracy, especially when measuring specific coating thicknesses, use the included calibration films.

1. Perform a zero calibration first (Section 5.1).
2. Place one of the calibration films (e.g., 0.05mm) onto the bare metal substrate.
3. Place the probe firmly onto the calibration film.
4. Adjust the reading on the device to match the known thickness of the film using the appropriate buttons (refer to the device's specific button functions for adjustment, typically the up/down arrows or mode buttons).
5. Repeat this process for other calibration films (0.10mm, 0.25mm, 0.50mm, 1.00mm, 2.00mm) to cover the desired measurement range.

6. Gestion des données

The device can store and display various statistical data from your measurements.

• ViewStatistiques d'utilisation : After taking multiple measurements, the device can display the average (AVG), maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN), and differential (DIF) values. Refer to the device's button layout (Figure 2.1) for specific button presses to cycle through these statistics.
• Clearing Statistics: To clear the recorded data and start a new set of statistics, press the "F/NF" button (or the designated clear button if different) for a few seconds until the statistics reset. The device supports up to 50 data points for statistics.

7. Entretien

• Nettoyage: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the probe tip is clean and free of debris for accurate readings.
• Stockage: Rangez l'appareil dans un endroit sec et frais, à l'abri de la lumière directe du soleil et des températures extrêmes. En cas de stockage prolongé, retirez les piles pour éviter les fuites.
• Entretien de la sonde : The probe is a sensitive component. Avoid dropping the device or subjecting the probe to excessive force.
