The MULTI MODE key opens a measurement mode screen listing all the
modes that are available to the transducer specifically selected. The modes can
be all or a combination of the entire set of modes the TI-CMX offers, depend-
ing on which transducer is being used as follows: Coating Off (P-E), Coating
On (PECT), Temp Comp (PETP), Thru-Coat (E-E), and Coating Only (CT).
3.16 ON/OFF Key
The ON/OFF key simply powers the unit either ON or OFF. Note: Unit will
automatically power off when idle for 5 minutes. All current settings are
automatically saved prior to powering off.
3.17 Top & Bottom End Caps
The top & bottom end panels are where all connections are made to the TI-CMX. The
diagram above shows the layout and description of the connectors:

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.

or ESC to cancel the coating one point calibration.
9. Finally, press the MEAS key to return to the measurement screen and begin taking
readings.
NOTE: CHECK YOUR CALIBRATION! Place the transducer back on both calibration
points. The coating thickness readings should now match the known thickness values of
each sample. If the thickness is not correct, repeat the steps above.
