The Gauge will not switch on
• Are the batteries exhausted, tired or just have had enough for the day?
• Check the batteries are inserted correctly.
Difficulty obtaining a Reading
• Check that the Probe lead is properly connected to both Probe and Gauge.
• Check the gauge is set for the probe connected.
• Check the condition of the lead, replace if necessary.
• Check the Probe and its membrane are properly assembled (if a single element probe).
• On heavily corroded areas this is often a problem, try and take measurements in adjacent areas of the same material.
• Check the Gauge and Probe together on a test block, if there is still no reading the Gauge may require servicing.
If Readings are Erratic or Unstable
• Check that the Probe-lead is properly connected to both Probe and Gauge.
• Check that the Probe and its membrane are correctly assembled with sufficient couplant between the probe face and membrane (if a single element probe).
• Check the Probe Type is suitable for the probable minimum thickness of the material being measured. Probe frequencies too low cause doubling and tripling of the actual thickness.
Tips for Optimising Battery Life
• Couplant left on the probe face will stop the gauge entering low power saving mode – so wipe couplant off the probe face between measurement sessions.
• Turning down the backlight brightness will extend battery life.
• Turn Bluetooth off if you are not using it.
