 Two-point Optimization
(FT, FTS, NT, NTS, FNT, FNTS, FHS, NHS and
Microprobes only)
This method requires taking a reading on
both the uncoated object (ZEROZERO) and on
a known thickness (2ND PNT2ND PNT). This
second point should be near the top end
of your application thickness to be
measured.
1. “ZERO?ZERO?” the Gage as described in
“Average Zero Adjustment” (p.10).
2. Select the 2ND PNT?2ND PNT? (Main Menu)
option.
3. Press 99 to set the number of readings
used to obtain an average, typically 3
to 9. The greater the variation between
readings, the more readings should be
taken to obtain an average. The
display will show the number of
readings remaining to be taken; i.e.
“2NDPNT4X2NDPNT4X”
4. Repeatedly measure the known
thickness (coated part, a plastic shim
or a Coating Thickness Standard) until
the display shows 2PT2PT=value. The
Gage will display “WAITWAIT” for 2 seconds
between readings to allow the user to
correctly position the probe on the
surface.
5. Lift the probe from the surface and
adjust the displayed reading down 88 or
up 99 to the known thickness value.
Press 88 99 simultaneously to accept this
value.
