Manwal tal-Utent tal-Gauge tal-Ħxuna tal-Kisi Ġeneriku TC100

1. Introduzzjoni

The TC100 Digital Coating Thickness Gauge is designed for non-destructive measurement of coating and painting thickness on various metal substrates. It utilizes principles of electromagnetic induction and the eddy current effect to automatically detect the substrate material (ferrous or non-ferrous).

This instrument is suitable for measuring the thickness of plated and coated sheets on metals such as paint/enamel/chrome on steel, and paint/anodizing coatings on aluminum/copper. It is an essential tool for material surface treatment applications in manufacturing, metal-processing, chemical industries, and commodity inspection.

4.1 Apparat Fuqview u Kontrolli

Image 4.1: Detailed diagram of the TC100 Coating Thickness Gauge, highlighting the measured reading display, ON/OFF button, ZERO button, unit switch key (um/mil), mode switch (SNG/CON), and the probe.

• Measured Reading Display: Shows the thickness measurement.
• ON/OFF Button (Power): Agħfas biex tixgħel jew titfi l-apparat.
• Buttuna ZERO: Used for clearing the display in Single-point (SNG) mode or for calibration in Continuous (CON) mode.
• um/mil Button (Unit Switch Key): Press to switch between micrometers (um) and mils (mil). Press and hold for more than 3 seconds to perform a system reset.
• Buttuna MODE: Switches between Single-point (SNG) measurement mode and Continuous (CON) measurement mode.
• Sonda: The sensor used to contact the surface for measurement.

4.2 Power On/Off

Agħfas il- ON/OFF button once to turn the gauge on. The display will light up. To turn off, press the ON/OFF buttuna għal darb'oħra.

4.3 Għażla ta' Unità

Agħfas il- um/mil button to toggle between micrometers (um) and mils (mil) units for measurement display.

4.4 Modi ta' Kejl

Agħfas il- MODALITÀ buttuna biex taqleb bejn:

• SNG (Single-point) Mode: For individual measurements. The reading is held on the display until a new measurement is taken.
• CON (Continuous) Mode: For continuous measurements. The display updates in real-time as the probe is moved across the surface.

4.5 Teħid ta 'Kejl

1. Ensure the gauge is powered on and the desired unit (um/mil) and mode (SNG/CON) are selected.
2. Place the probe firmly and perpendicularly onto the coated surface to be measured.
3. The gauge will automatically detect the substrate type (Fe for ferrous, NFe for non-ferrous) and display the coating thickness.
4. In SNG mode, the reading will remain until the probe is lifted and placed again. In CON mode, the reading will update continuously.

4.6 Calibration (ZERO Function)

The ZERO button is used for calibration to ensure accuracy. It is recommended to calibrate the device on an uncoated sample of the substrate material before taking measurements.

1. Place the probe directly onto an uncoated ferrous (Fe) or non-ferrous (NFe) substrate.
2. Agħfas il- ŻERO button. The display should show '0.0' or a value very close to zero.
3. If calibrating with standard foils, place the foil on the substrate and then place the probe on the foil. Adjust as per specific calibration instructions in the full manual if available.

5. Manutenzjoni

• Żomm l-apparat nadif u ħieles mit-trab u l-fdalijiet. Uża drapp artab u niexef għat-tindif.
• Avoid exposing the gauge to extreme temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Store the device in its protective case when not in use to prevent damage to the probe and display.
• Neħħi l-batterija jekk l-apparat ma jkunx se jintuża għal perjodu twil ta' żmien biex tevita t-tnixxija.

6 Issolvi l-problemi

• L-apparat ma jixgħelx: Iċċekkja l-installazzjoni tal-batterija u kun żgur li l-batterija għandha biżżejjed ċarġ. Ibdel jekk meħtieġ.
• Qari mhux preċiż: Ensure the probe is clean and making firm, perpendicular contact with the surface. Perform a calibration using the ZERO function on an uncoated substrate.
• Id-displej juri 'Err': This may indicate a measurement error or an issue with the probe. Try cleaning the probe and re-attempting the measurement. If the issue persists, contact support.
