Two Point Calibration

Note: Use the minimum coating sample for the two point calibration.

1) Physically measure the thinner of the two samples of the coating, as close

as possible to the minimum expected coating measurement range, using a

set of calipers or a digital micrometer.

Very Important: If coating measurements will be made with the coating

applied to a metal surface, the calibration must be done in the same manner,

with the samples coupled to a metal surface. However, if the coating will be

measured as a stand alone material, the calibration must be performed the

same way.

2) Apply a drop of couplant on the transducer and place the transducer in

steady contact with the thinner of the two coating and samples. Be sure that

the reading is stable and the repeatability indicator, in the top left corner of

the display, is fully lit and stable. Press the MENU key once to activate the

menu items tab. Press the MENU key multiple times to tab right and the

ESC key multiple times to tab left until the CAL menu is highlighted and

displaying the submenu items.
