Operation

Thank you for purchasing the Testboy® TB 73

The Testboy® TB 73 is for measurements on all metallic substrates

Depending on the substrate, the letter "Fe" (ferrous/steel) or "NFe" (non-ferrous) is automatically displayed for each measurement. 2 in 1 type combines two probes in one meter and automatically identify the substrate materials.

Depending on the substrate, the symbol Fe or NFe is displayed on the screen.

Operation

Hold the gauge and push the integrated probe vertically against the costing surface turns on the power and starts the measurement automatically, and power is cut off after 30 seconds.

Keep the probe on the coating and hold it steadily for a while till the buzzer sounds, take up the gauge and read the measurement.

Unit of measurement

Press the button "μm/mil" to switch between micron (μm) and mil.(mil).

Data storage

Press the button "M" to read the final 20 measurements, "0" displays at lower corner of LCD screen, the final 20 measurements can be shown in sequence by pressing the button "+/-".

Flip display

Press the button "Flip" to turn the display upside down for easy reading when measurement is taking on top, side or bottom surfaces.

Average value

"Mean" indicates the average (mean) value.

Deviation/tolerance of the real measurement

"Sdev" indicates the deviation of the real measurement in relation to the instrument tolerance.

Calibrations

a. Zero calibration: press "+" for 2 seconds, "000" displays on the screen, then take a normal measurement on uncoated metals, the reading is calibrated to zero automatically.
b. Calibration with standard films: after measuring the calibration film, press "M" for 2 seconds, then adjust the reading to the right value by pressing "+/-".
c. Restore factory defaults: press "-" for 2 seconds, "0, 00, 000 ..." displays in sequence on the screen, the factory defaults are restored. The function is useful when standard films are not available for calibration.

Substrate blocks and standard films

Available with the package for calibration or self test.

Specifications

Range: 0-2000μm, 0-50 mil

Accuracy: ± (2μm +3%), ± (0.1 mil + 3%)
