Frequently Asked Questions - ECT 50 PCE
How do I calibrate the PCE ECT 50?
To calibrate, first ensure the probe is clean. Perform a zero calibration on an uncoated metal substrate (same material as your workpiece). Then use the supplied calibration foils to adjust to known thicknesses. Follow the steps in the user manual for detailed instructions.
What batteries does the ECT 50 use?
The device uses two AA batteries. Replace them when the battery indicator shows low. Use alkaline batteries for best performance.
Why is my ECT 50 not displaying any reading?
Check that the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Ensure the probe is in contact with the surface. If the problem persists, clean the probe tip with a soft cloth. If still no reading, contact PCE support.
Can I measure on rough surfaces?
The ECT 50 is designed for smooth to moderately rough surfaces. For very rough surfaces, readings may be less accurate. Use the continuous measurement mode and take an average.
How do I change the measurement units?
Press and hold the UNIT button for 3 seconds to toggle between µm and mils. The unit will be displayed on the screen.
What is the maximum coating thickness I can measure?
The measuring range is 0 to 2000 µm (0 to 78.7 mils). For thicker coatings, the instrument may not provide accurate results.
How do I clean the device?
Clean the housing with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use solvents. Clean the probe tip gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid scratching the probe surface.
Does the ECT 50 have a data memory?
Yes, it can store up to 500 readings. Press the MEM button to save a reading. To recall, press the RECALL button and navigate with the arrow keys.
What is the accuracy of the ECT 50?
The accuracy is ±(3% of reading + 1 µm). For best results, calibrate before each use and measure on a clean, flat surface.
Can I use the ECT 50 on non-metallic substrates?
No, the eddy current principle requires a conductive metal substrate. It works on ferrous and non-ferrous metals but not on plastic, wood, or glass.
