4.1 ENSURING YOUR GAUGE HAS THE LATEST FIRMWARE &

UPGRADING YOUR GAUGE

To ensure that your gauge has the most up-to-date gauge firmware,

allowing you to benefit from the latest features and functionality, we

recommend that the gauge is connected to ElcoMaster on a regular

basis and before first use.

Simply connect the gauge via USB to an internet connected computer

running ElcoMaster using the ‘Connect Gauge’ feature. If a later

version of the gauge firmware is available, ‘Update Gauge’ will be

displayed to the right of the gauge details. Click ‘Update Gauge’ to

install the latest firmware.

4.2 FITTING THE BATTERIES

Each gauge is supplied with 2 x AA alkaline

batteries.

To insert or replace the batteries:

1 Lift the latch on the battery compartment

cover and rotate anti-clockwise to remove

the cover.

2 Insert 2 batteries taking care to ensure

correct polarity.

3 Refit the cover and rotate the latch clockwise to close.

4 GETTING STARTED

www.elcometer.com 4

The battery condition is indicated by a symbol in the top right of the

display ( ):

4 Full symbol (orange) = batteries at full capacity

4 Empty symbol (red, flashing) = batteries at lowest

sustainable level

4.3 SELECTING YOUR LANGUAGE

1 Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the Elcometer logo is

displayed.

2 Press Menu/Setup/Language and select your language using the

éê softkeys.

4.4 SCREEN SETTINGS

A number of screen settings can be defined by the user via

Menu/Setup/Screen Settings including:

Ÿ Screen Brightness; This can be set to ‘Manual’ or ‘Auto’ - the

brightness is adjusted automatically using the gauge’s ambient

light sensor.

Ÿ Screen Timeout; The display will dim if inactive for more than

15 seconds and will go ‘black’ if inactive for the period defined.

The gauge can also be set to switch off automatically after 5

minutes of inactivity via Menu/Setup/Gauge Auto Off.

Ÿ Screen Rotation; Using the internal accelerometer, the gauge

rotates the display to allow the user to measure or read values at

0°, 90°, 180° and 270° orientation if ‘Auto Display Rotation’ is

selected via Menu/Setup/Auto Display Rotation.

4.5 SELECTING THE MEASUREMENT UNITS

Readings can be displayed in µm or mils. To select the measurement

units, press Menu/Setup/Units.

4.6 SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE CALIBRATION MEMORY

The Elcometer 456 IPC gauge is factory calibrated to ensure accurate

measurement on blast profiled, ferrous (steel) substrates.

The gauge has been pre-calibrated with four profile measurement

ranges (see table below) which are determined by the measurement

units selected by the user.

Once the profile of the coated substrate has been determined, press

‘Cal’ and select the relevant calibration profile range.

Units: µm (ISO 19840)

Units: mils (US Navy NSI 009-32)

Icon

Calibration Prole Range

Icon

Calibration Prole Range

0 - 25µm, Smooth

0 - 1 mils

25 - 60µm, Fine

1 - 2 mils

60 - 100µm, Medium

2 - 3 mils

>100µm, Coarse

3 - 4 mils

When the measurement units are set to microns (Menu/Setup/

Units/µm), the gauge operates in accordance with ISO 19840. When

set to mils (Menu/Setup/Units/mils), the gauge operates in accordance

with US Navy NSI 009-32.

Note: The gauge resolution is fixed at 10µm / 1 mil (where 5µm / 0.5 mil is rounded up).

4.7 TESTING THE CALIBRATION

As the gauge is factory calibrated, the calibration cannot be adjusted

by the user and the gauge should be returned to Elcometer for

re-calibration. The user can, however, verify the accuracy of the

gauge calibration in the field using the ‘Test Calibration’ option.

To test the calibration, press Cal/Test Calibration and follow the

on-screen instructions.

5 TAKING A READING

5.1 BEFORE YOU START

1 Press the On/Off button to switch the gauge on.

2 Select the measurement units - see Section 4.5 on page 5.

3 Select the calibration profile range - see Section 4.6 on page 5.

5.2 TAKING A READING

The Elcometer 456 IPC gauge takes readings in groups of three.

When the third reading is taken, the average (mean, xbar) of the three

readings is displayed on the right hand side.

To take a reading:

1 Whilst holding the gauge

perpendicular, gently pl ace the probe

onto the surface.

4 Do not drag the probe across the surface

or bang the probe down hard onto the

surface as this will damage the probe tip

resulting in inaccurate readings.

4 ‘>1500µm’ (’>60mils’) indicates a reading

over the probe range.

2 For subsequent readings, lift the probe

off and then replace it onto the coated

surface.

4 Do not allow the probe to hover over the

surface as this could result in a false

reading.

The first reading taken is displayed next to

‘1', the second next to ‘2' etc. When the

third reading has been taken, the average

(mean, xbar) of the three individual

readings displayed is shown (X:).

The average (mean, xbar) reading is

cleared when a fourth reading is taken.

By selecting ‘Send Individual Readings’ or ‘Send Mean (xbar) Reading’

via Menu/Bluetooth, the user can choose to transfer the individual

readings or just the average (mean, xbar) reading values to

7.1 USING ELCOMASTER ON A PC

Using ElcoMaster (available as a free download at elcometer.com)

readings can be transferred via USB or Bluetooth to a PC for

archiving and report generation.

The user can choose to transfer either the individual readings or just

the average (mean, xbar) reading values by selecting ‘Send Individual

Readings’ or ‘Send Mean (xbar) Reading’ via Menu/Bluetooth.

Alternatively, should you wish to transfer the readings to your own

software program for analysis, please contact Elcometer for further

information.

5 TAKING A READING (continued)

5.3 DELETING THE LAST READING

To delete the last reading, press Menu/Delete Last Reading. Repeat

this process to delete the previous reading. Only readings in the

current group of three can be deleted.

If three readings have been taken and the average (mean, xbar)

reading is displayed, deleting readings will clear the average (mean,

xbar) value.
