Benetech GT235 Film/Coating Thickness Gauge User Manual

1. Entwodiksyon

The Benetech GT235 Film/Coating Thickness Gauge is designed for quick and effective measurement of coating thickness. It accurately measures non-metallic coatings on non-magnetic metal substrates and non-magnetic coatings on magnetic metal substrates. The device automatically identifies the substrate type (magnetic or non-magnetic). This instrument is suitable for applications in automobile manufacturing, metal processing, chemical industry, and commodity inspection.

This manual provides detailed instructions for the proper use, setup, operation, and maintenance of your GT235 thickness gauge. Please read it thoroughly before operating the device.

3. Enstalasyon

3.1 Enstalasyon batri

1. Jwenn konpatiman batri a sou dèyè aparèy la (gade Figi 2.2).
2. Slide louvri kouvèti a lòj batri.
3. Mete de pil AAA 1.5V, asire w polarite a kòrèk (+/-).
4. Fèmen kouvèti lòj batri a byen.

3.2 Limen/Etenyen

• To power on, press any button. The device will perform a self-test and display the last measurement mode.
• The device features an automatic shutdown function to save power. It will power off after a period of inactivity.

4. Operasyon Enstriksyon

4.1 Mezi Debaz

1. Asire w ke aparèy la limen.
2. Place the probe perpendicularly and firmly onto the surface of the coated material.
3. The measurement reading will be displayed on the screen. The device will automatically identify the substrate type (Fe for magnetic, NFe for non-magnetic).
4. Lift the probe from the surface to prepare for the next measurement.

4.2 Mòd Mezi

Peze a MÒD button to cycle through different measurement modes:

• Single Measurement (SNG): Displays one measurement at a time.
• Continuous Measurement (CONT): Continuously takes and displays measurements as the probe is moved across the surface.
• Differential Measurement (DIF): Measures the difference between the current reading and a set reference value.

4.3 Seleksyon Inite

Peze a INITE button to switch between metric (µm, mm) and imperial (mil) units. The selected unit will be displayed on the screen.

4.4 Kalibrasyon

Calibration ensures measurement accuracy. It is recommended to calibrate the device when using it in different environments or if significant temperature differences occur.

1. Zero-point Calibration:
   • Place the probe directly on a bare, uncoated metal substrate (magnetic or non-magnetic, depending on the measurement type).
   • Peze epi kenbe la CAL button until "0.0" or "CAL" appears, indicating zero calibration is complete.
2. Kalibrasyon konpanse:
   • Perform zero-point calibration first.
   • Place a calibration foil of known thickness on the bare substrate.
   • Place the probe on the calibration foil.
   • Adjust the displayed value to match the known thickness of the foil using the UNIT/MODE buttons (if applicable, specific steps may vary by firmware).
   • Konfime kalibrasyon an.
3. Basic Calibration:
   • This typically involves calibrating with multiple known thickness foils across the measurement range. Refer to the specific calibration kit instructions for detailed steps.

5. Antretyen

5.1 Netwayaj

• Wipe the device body with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the casing oswa ekspozisyon.
• Keep the probe tip clean and free from debris to ensure accurate measurements.

5.2 Depo

• Lè w pa itilize yo pou yon bon bout tan, retire pil yo pou anpeche yo koule.
• Store the device in its protective case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

5.3 Ranplasman batri

• When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace both AAA batteries promptly.
• Swiv etap enstalasyon batri yo ki dekri nan Seksyon 3.1.
