Coating Thickness Gages

Instruction Manual

Introduction

The osiTector 6000 hand-held, electronic instrument non-

destructively measures the thickness of coatings on metals,

quickly and accurately. It consists of a body (Standard or

Advanced) and probe.

Press the button to power up the Gage. To conserve battery

life, the gage will automatically go to sleep after 5 minutes of

inactivity. While in Sleep Mode, the gage powers up significantly

faster— convenient when moving between parts or locations. The

gage will completely power off after 4 hours of inactivity.

Alternatively, select ower Off from the main menu. All settings

are retained.

1. Remove the protective rubber cap (if supplied) from probe.

2. Power-up Gage by pressing the center navigation button .

3. Verify accuracy and adjust if necessary (pg. 3).

4. Place the probe FLAT on the surface to be measured.

HOLD STEADY. When a valid measurement is obtained,

the Gage BEEPS twice and the measurement is displayed.

5. Lift probe AT LEAST 2 INCHES (5 cm) from the surface

between measurements - OR - leave probe on the surface

in the same location for continuous measurements.

Quick Start

Menu Operation

To access the Menu, power-up the gage, then press the center

navigation button . Either the keypad or touch screen can be

used to navigate the menu. If desired, touch screen functionality

can be disabled within the Setup menu (See Touch, pg. 8).

Select a menu option by touching it, or use the and but-

tons to highlight the desired option and press to select it.

On menus longer than one page, the current page number is dis-

played below the menu name. Navigate between pages using

when the first menu item is selected, or when the last

menu item is selected. If using touch, navigate between pages

by touching or , or by swiping up or down.

Press the button or swipe right to return to a previous screen.

Select Exit to close the Menu.

When powered-up, the osiTector automatically

determines which probe is attached and does a self-

check.

To disconnect a probe from a body, slide the plastic

probe connector horizontally (in the direction of the

arrow) away from the body. Reverse these steps to

attach a different probe. It is not necessary to power-

down the Gage when switching probes.

The osiTector gage body accepts a wide variety of probe

types including magnetic, eddy-current, and ultrasonic coating

thickness, surface profile, environmental, hardness, salt

contamination, and ultrasonic wall thickness probes. See

When a Menu option is highlighted, the

icon indicates on-gage help is available.

Press or touch the icon to display the

help. A formatted PDF containing all on-

gage help items is available at

www.defelsko.com/help

indicates that a sub-menu exists for the

Menu option. Select the option to display its

sub menu.

Update your gage to ensure that you

have the latest on-gage help information.

Calibration, Verification, and Adjustment

The osiTector 6000 non-destructively measures the thickness

of coatings on metals.Three steps ensure best accuracy…

1. Calibration: typically performed by the manufacturer.

All probes include a Certificate of Calibration.

2. Verification of Accuracy: typically performed by the user on

known reference standards such as the included plastic shims

or optional coated thickness standards.

3. Adjustment: Adjustment, or Cal Adjustment is the act of

aligning the Gage’s thickness readings to match that of a

known sample in order to improve the accuracy of the Gage

on a specific surface or in a specific portion of its measurement

range. 1-point or 2-point Cal Adjustments are possible.

Probes are factory calibrated and perform an automatic self-

check each time a measurement is taken. For many applications

no further adjustment is necessary after a Reset (pg. 6).

Just check ZERO on the uncoated substrate, then measure.

However, sometimes readings can be influenced by changes in

substrate, such as shape, composition, and surface roughness.

That is why Cal Adjustments are made possible. The symbol

disappears whenever a Cal Adjustment is made to the Gage.

Where a Cal Adjustment method has not been specified, use

a 1-point method first. If measuring the included shims on your

surface reveals inaccuracies, use the 2-point method. Factory

Cal settings can be restored at any time by performing a Reset

(pg. 6), creating a NEW Cal setting (See Cal Memory, pg. 5),

or by DELETING the adjustments made to the Cal 1 calibration

setting (pg. 5). The symbol appears on the display

whenever factory Cal settings are in use.

For “FN” gages, calibration adjustments are made independently

to the “F” or “N” modes, and are stored together within a particu-

lar Cal.

Cal Settings Menu

A 1- t Cal Adjustment, also known as an offset or correction

value, can be performed in five ways:

(i) Simple Zero Adjustment- Measure the uncoated part. Lift the

probe and adjust to "0" using the and buttons.

(ii) Average Zero Adjustment A preferred method

to (i) is to average 3 to 10 measurements on the uncoated part.

(iii)

Simple Adjustment to a Known Thickness-

Measure a shim

of known thickness placed on the uncoated part. Lift the probe

and adjust to the shim thickness using the and buttons.

(iv)

Average Adjustment to a Known Thickness

A preferred method to (iii) is to average 3 to 10 measurements

of a shim of known thickness placed on the uncoated part.

1 t Adjust

Zero

1 t Adjust

A Simple Zero Adjustment cannot be performed when

Calibration Lock is enabled (default). Disable Calibration

Lock (pg. 5) to perform this adjustment.

NOTE:

A Simple Adjustment to a Known Thickness cannot

be performed when Calibration Lock is enabled (default).

Disable Calibration Lock (pg. 5) to perform this adjustment.

NOTE:

(v) Zero Offset- Useful when measuring coating thickness over

rough or blasted substrates without access to the uncoated

representative substrate. Predefined Zero Offset values can be

selected according to the blast profile height in accordance with

ISO 19840. Alternatively, a custom Zero Offset can be entered.

The Zero Offset value is subtracted from each reading.

If the uncoated representative substrate is available,

performing an Average Adjustment to a Known Thickness

(above) is recommended for best accuracy.

NOTE:

2 t Adjust

Provides greater accuracy within a limited, defined range.

Measure known coating thicknesses that are thinner (often zero)

and thicker than the expected thickness range.

When enabled (default), the Calibration Lock icon will

appear on the display. This prevents an adjustment from

being performed inadvertently if the or buttons are

pressed.

Cal Lock

The current Cal Setting (ex. Cal 3) is displayed in the upper right

corner of the display. A stored Cal Setting can be selected when

returning to a particular part. Cal 1 can be adjusted but never

deleted, and is always made active with factory settings after a

Reset (pg. 6). A new Cal Setting cannot be created if a batch is

open with readings present.

Cal Memory (Advanced models only)

Create meaningful Cal Memory names directly on the Gage

using the onscreen QWERTY touch keyboard — helpful when

storing multiple Cal Memory adjustments.

Edit

Use when operating regularly on non-ferrous substrates.

The icon appears and the probe will only use the eddy current

principle to shorten measurement time and extend battery life.

Also useful when measuring coatings over plated or partially

magnetic grades of stainless steel.

(FN ferrous/non-ferrous combination probes only)

N Lock

Reset (menu Reset) restores factory settings and returns the

Gage to a known condition. The following occurs:

- All batches, stored measurements, batch names and screen

captures are erased.

- Calibration adjustments are returned to factory settings.

- Menu settings are returned to the following:

NOTES:

Increases the displayed resolution. Accuracy is not affected.

Hi Res

Increases measurement speed. Useful for quick inspection or

when measuring large areas with thick coatings where proper

probe positioning is not critical. Swift up/down probe movement is

required. Reduced accuracy may be noted.

By default, the osiTector 6000 takes approximately 1 reading

per second. Scan mode allows the user to take multiple readings

in rapid succession (3 readings per second) without lifting the

probe. Choose from 3 Scan modes:

•Normal - continuously measures when placed on the surface

•Statistics - displays real-time scan statistics when placed on the

surface. Average, max., min., and standard deviation are displayed.

•Limited # Avg. - continuously measures until user-specified number

of readings is reached, then displays the average for the scan.

When Memory is on (pg.9), Scan measurement data is

recorded. However, in Statistics and Limited # Avg. Scan

modes, only the statistics and/or avergage is saved, not

individual readings. Note that performing a scan may reduce the

life of the probe and is recommended for smooth surfaces only.
