Introduction
ThankyouforselectingtheExtechCG206CoatingThicknessTester.TheCG206isaportable
meterdesignedfornon‐invasivecoatingthicknessmeasurementswithautomaticrecognitionof
thesubstratematerialundertest.
Themeterusestwomeasurementmethods:magneticinduction(forferrousmetalsubstrates)
andeddycurrent(fornon‐ferrousmetal
substrates).
TheCG206metercanconnecttoaPCviaUSBandtransmitrecordeddataforfurtheranalysisand
forgeneratingreportdocumentation.
Properuseandcareofthismeterwillprovidemanyyearsofreliableservice
.
Features
 MeasuredCoatings:Non‐magneticcoatings(e.g.paint,zinc)onsteel;InsulatedCoatings(e.g.
paint,anodizedcoatings)onnon‐ferrousmetals
 Intuitivemenu‐basedprogramming
 Memorystorageofupto1500readingsin30groups(50readingspergroup)
 Deletesinglereadingsorallgroupseasily
 Auto

ProbeDescription
TheCG206probeisspringmountedinthesensorsleeve.Thisensuressafeandstablepositioning
oftheprobeandensuresconstantcontactpressure.
AV‐grooveinthesleeveoftheprobefacilitatesreliablereadingsonsmallcylindricalparts.The
hemisphericaltipoftheprobeismadeofhardand
durablematerial.

Measuringmetalliccoatings
Thismetercanmeasurenon‐magneticmetalcoatings(Zinc)onamagnetic(ferrous)substance
base,andnon‐metalcoatingsonametalbase(ferrousornon‐ferrous).
