INSTRUCTION MANUAL
COATING THICKNESS METER
MT155
Thank you for your purchase of the Coating Thickness Tester. The MT155 is a
compact and handy gauge specifically designed for non-destructive, fast and
precise coating thickness measurements. The principal application is for
corrosion protection. It is ideal for manufacturers, for offices, specialist
advisers, for paint shops, electroplaters, for the chemical, automobile,
shipbuilding, aircraft industries and for light or heavy engineering. The gauge is
suitable for laboratory, workshop or outdoor use. The probe can work on both
principles, magnetic induction or the eddy current principle. Only 1 (one) probe
is required for coating measurement both on ferrous and non-ferrous metal
substrates. It is adaptable to specific tasks for instance they can be used on
special geometries or on materials with special properties. You can select the
probe mode via the MENU system.

Power on:
Press and hold the POWER button. If the LCD display does not switch on,
check if the battery is correctly installed or flat.
Displayed:
Low battery, replace battery immediately. The gauge will take faulty
measurements if the voltage is low.
Note: When the power is on, keep away from any metal at least 10cm away
before each measurement, zero calibration is recommended.
Ready to Start
1. Switch off the tester, remove the battery cover and remove batteries.
2. Insert new batteries, observing correct polarity and close the cover.
• Replace the batteries when the symbol “ ” is displayed........
• Use alkaline batteries only.
• Remove the batteries before any long period of non-use to avoid the
danger of corrosion.

work in measuring mode.
• Press the SELECT button to enter the MENU mode.
Select Working Mode
Working Mode:
• There are 31 working modes in this gauge. Measurement data will not be
stored when the gauge is in Group0 measurement mode.
• In the other 30 working modes, 30 measured data can be stored in each
mode cycle.

Select Measure Mode (Probe)
The probe has 3 (three) different modes:
AUTO: T he probe can automatically select the working mode. When placed
on steel (magnetic substrates), it will work in magnetic induction
principle. When placed on no-ferrous metals, it will work in eddy
current principle.
Fe: The probe works in magnetic induction principle.
No-Fe: The probe works in eddy current principle.
