Trimming Tool turn the Cal Preset until the digital display registers the foil value Recheck both the Zero and Cal and readjust if necessary Remember always adjust the Zero Control first and the Cal Control last It is recommended that for measurements on different substrate material types and shapes that the EBAN2000 be calibrated on an uncoated section of substrate that is identical to that which the coating will be applied Additional Information When taking measurements always hold the outer probe moveable sleeve and place the probe tip carefully on the surface The EBAN2000 N has a Jewel Tip on the probe and it is possible to slide this tip across smooth coatings thus allowing any changes to be quickly seen It is possible to measure coating thicknesses close to edges and holes Ensure that the probe body does not overhang the edge Always keep the calibration foils free from dirt and grease Replace when they show any signs of indentation To remove the probe plug pull back the outer locking sleeve and gently withdraw the probe plug Battery Replacement A battery warning will appear on the digital display when the battery requires changing The battery type is PP3 and an alkaline leakproof type is recommended For battery replacement slide off the rear bottom cover and replace the battery ensuring the correct polarity Statistical Measuring The EBAN2000 can be used to quickly give a simple statistical evaluation of

5. lied the EBAN2000 has been calibrated by the factory and will not normally require immediate recalibration The EBAN2000 has a variable calibration facility to allow for more accurate measurements on differing substrate types Located at the top of the EBAN2000 are two preset 10 turn controls each control is recessed allowing adjustment only by using the special trimming tool This is a useful feature which will prevent accidental adjustment of the calibration once set The control nearest the probe connector is the Preset Zero and the other is the Preset Cal Each control is clearly identified on the rear of the EBAN2000 Calibration To calibrate switch the EBAN2000 on by pressing the MODE key once to select Direct Reading Mode Stand the EBAN2000 upright and place the measuring probe on an uncoated section of the substrate A Precision Aluminium Zero Plate is available as an extra for this purpose Using the Trimming Tool supplied screwdriver end turn the Zero Presetecontrol until the display registers 000 Note that this preset control is a 10 turn control and has slipping clutches ateach end Turning the control clockwise will increase the reading and conversely turning anti clockwise will reduce the reading Now place a Calibration Foil select a value nearest to the coating to be measured but higher for the highest accuracy on the same uncoated substrate Place the probe on this foil and using the
