1. ASTM B499 D1400 Handling and storage The SaluTron ComBi D3 gauge is a high tech precision instruments with a wide scope of aplications It is therefore of great importance that the unit is handled with care to ensure an extended life and as a pre requisite for precise and accurate measurement results The following guidelines are to be followed to achieve the above 1 Protect the gauge against dirt and dust and do not let the gauge drop 2 Protect the gauge from dirt dust humidity chemicals and aggressive vapours 3 After use please store the gauge in the protective case 4 Avoid direct strong sunlight and temperature shocks as these can have a negative influence on the measurement result The instrument housing is resistant to most chemical cleaners use a soft moist cloth for cleaning 6 Exact measurements can only be taken with a clean probe The probe therefore has to be checked and cleaned regularly so that any paint residue and iron fragments can be removed from the probe and the ruby tip C1 info tursdaletechnicalservices co uk 7 If the gauge is not to be used for an extended period of time the battery should be removed to avoid battery acid spilage and the resultant destruction of the electronics If the gauge has a fault condition please return it to the agent who will assist you if possible or return the gauge to the factory for repair No other repairs should be attempted under any circum stances2. 3500 my or if the gauge is placed on the incorrect substrate eg wood paper cardboard etc then the display will show InFi infinite For measurements on spinerical surfaces eg rods pipes corrugated surfaces etc the V groove will assist in the placement of the probe Do not take measurements on magnets or in magnetic fields Switching the gauge ON OFF The gauge switches on automatically when being placed on the surface and turns off automatically after about 40 sec when no other measurement is taken To switch the gauge manual by hand press the ON OFF key It shows automatically the last measuring value The device is ready for new measurement To switch off the gauge press ON OFF key approximately 5 sec Using the menu The menu can be used to configure view the following features 1 The measurement method single point measurements or continous measurements to find the coating thickness average 2 The unit for the digital read out The result can be displayed in my or in mils This is indicated by a line next to the respective unit 3 The audible tone can be switched on off 4 The serial number of the particular gauge can be viewed The menu is accessed by pressing the mode button Consecutive pressing of the mode button will cause the program to cycle through all the available parameters as mentioned above If the parameter is to be changed the Enter button is pressed Once the desired set

4. Battery exchange The SaluTron ComBi D3 gauge is powered by a 9 V alkaline battery The battery compartment can be found in the top back portion of the instrument If a B appears in the display the battery has to be exchanged If a replacement battery is not available immediately several measurements can still be taken until the gauge shuts down the display shows BAT completely Zero calibration The gauge has to be zeroed anew when different measurement jobs are called for when the gauge is used for the first time after a new battery has been inserted or periodically Place the gauge on the iron plate or the Al plate in the instrument casa You can also use a piece of uncoated Fe or NFe metal substrate as used in your process Take care to place the probe evenly onto the substrate If the displayed value is out of the basic tolerance range the instrument has to be zeroed The following steps are to be taken to zero the gauge Remove the gauge from the zero plate or the substrate Press the top left button ZERO The display shows P O O Place the gauge onto the zero plate or the substrate again The display shows PinF and automatic the last indication Place on zero plate again The display shows 0 The unit is now ready for accurate measurements Note If the measurement is repeated on the same spot on the zero plate the gauge will not necessarily show 0 0 my mils as surface roughness and dirt etc can cause di
