Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Insert Batteries: Open the battery compartment and insert two AA batteries, observing correct polarity.
- Prepare Surface: Clean both the surface of the object to be measured and the transducer face. Ensure the surface is free from dirt, oil, or loose particles.
- Apply Coupling Agent: Apply a small amount of ultrasonic coupling gel to the transducer face or the measurement surface. This is crucial for transmitting ultrasonic waves.
- Take Measurement: Place the transducer firmly onto the prepared surface. The thickness reading will appear on the digital display.
Compatibility:
The TN 230-0.1US is designed to measure the thickness of a wide variety of metallic and non-metallic materials. Its performance may be affected by materials with highly irregular internal structures or extremely porous surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the device and transducer with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth after each use. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the gauge in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect the transducer from impact.
- Coupling Gel: Clean off any residual coupling gel from the transducer after use to prevent it from drying and potentially damaging the surface.
