Elcometer 456 Scan Probes have been specifically designed for use
with the “Scan” and “Auto Repeat” modes on Elcometer 456 Model T
separate gauges. They are supplied with a highly durable ‘snap on’,
a
user replaceable, probe cap - allowing users to take individual
readings or rapidly scan large surface areas without damaging the
probe or the coating.
Scan Mode: When Scan Mode is selected,
users can slide the Scan Probe over the
entire surface area. As the probe is lifted
off the surface the gauge displays the
average coating thickness value (x)
together with the highest (Hi) and lowest
(Lo) thickness values. Each set of three
readings can be displayed on a run graph
and stored into the memory. This is ideal for
on line inspection.
Auto Repeat Mode: When the probe is
placed onto the coated substrate in Auto
Repeat Mode, the gauge automatically
takes readings at a rate of 140 per minute
until the probe is removed from the
substrate. Each individual reading is
stored into the memory. The Auto Repeat
Mode can be used to significantly speed
up the inspection of large coated areas
such as steel I-beams (RSJ’s), tanks, ship
hulls, etc.
Note: “Scan Mode with Hold” allows the probe to be lifted off the surface for a
maximum of 1.5 seconds and replaced without starting a new set of readings -
allowing the user to avoid holes, weld seams, etc. in the substrate without
affecting the measurement results.

2 CALIBRATION USING A SCAN PROBE
b To select the measurement mode go to Menu/Setup/Measurement Mode.
c The Scale 2 probe is supplied with a 3mm (120mils) and 1mm (40mils) foil which can be used to make a
4mm (160mils) foil.
d If an alternative calibration method has been selected, the gauge will prompt the user to select either
“Smooth” or “Rough / 2 Point”.
e Probe caps have a nominal thickness of 500µm (20mils).
b
When using a Scan Probe in “Scan” or “Auto Repeat” mode , the
probe cap must be fitted to avoid damage to the probe tip and the
gauge can only be calibrated using either the “Smooth” or “Rough /
2 Point” calibration methods.
Scale 1: For “Smooth” calibration a 1500µm (60mils) nominal foil and
uncoated base / zero plate is required. For “Rough / 2 Point” a 50µm
(2mil) nominal foil is also required.
c
Scale 2: For “Smooth” calibration a 4mm (160mils) nominal foil and
uncoated base / zero plate is required. For “Rough / 2 Point” a 50µm
(2mils) nominal foil is also required.
2.1 CONNECTING THE SCAN PROBE
1 Rotate the probe plug to align the
pins.
2 Screw in the collar - clockwise.
2.2 CALIBRATING WHEN IN “SCAN”
b
OR “AUTO REPEAT” MODE :
1 Press the Cal softkey and select
“Cal Method”.
2 Select “Smooth” or “Rough /
d
2 Point” followed by “Calibrate” .
3 Follow the on screen instructions.
In order to avoid probe tip damage during “Scan” or “Auto Repeat”
mode, a probe cap must be fitted. During the calibration procedure if,
when asked by the gauge, no cap is to be used, the gauge will
automatically revert to “Standard” measurement mode.
Scan Probes use the Elcometer 456's patented offset feature ensuring
that any cap wear during use is incorporated within the calibration
procedure, displaying the maximum coating thickness range of the
e
probe and cap combination at the end of the calibration routine.

Probe caps wear over time and the gauge will inform the user during
the calibration procedure if the cap needs replacing . When tested
h
using smooth surfaces, probe caps have been scanned in excess of
50km (30 miles). Replacement caps are available to purchase from
Elcometer or your local supplier.

5 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
“Scan” and “Auto Repeat” modes are only available on Elcometer 456
Model T separate gauges. The probe cap must be fitted to the Scan
Probe when used in these modes to avoid damage to the probe tip.
Use in these modes without the cap will invalidate the probe warranty.
Scan Probes can be used in “Standard” mode - with or without the
probe cap fitted - when connected to any Elcometer 456 separate
gauge.
When fitted with the probe cap, Scan Probes are not recommended for
use on coating thicknesses below 100µm (4mils).
