Safety information
1 Safety information
If you use the instrument as intended and observe the safety information, the
instrument poses no danger.
Please read and follow this Operator's Manual and observe the safety infor-
mation. Also observe generally applicable safety and accident prevention reg-
ulations.
1.1 Intended use
The gage is intended solely for measurement of coating thicknesses.
Only accessories approved or recommended by ATORN Service may be con-
nected to the gage.
Any use beyond this is not the intended use. The risk of damage ensuing there-
from is borne solely by the user.
1.2 Environmental conditions
Storage and transport temperature: 0 … +50 °C
Temperature
When exposed to sunshine, the areas behind glass windows (e.g. in an
automobile) can easily reach temperatures in excess of +50 °C. This can
cause damage to the instrument.
►Do not keep or store the instrument and accessories behind glass
windows, or near to sources of heat such as radiators etc.!
Acid
The gage and accessories are not acid-proof.
►Do not place the instrument or accessories in contact with acids or liquids
which contain acid!
2 ATORN DFT
Safety information
Potentially explosive environment
The gage and accessories are not suitable for use in potentially posted
environments.
►Operate the gage and accessories only outside of potentially explosive
areas!
1.3 Safety of the electrical equipment
Only accessories approved or recommended by ATORN Service may be con-
nected to the gage!
USB cable
Damaged USB cable
Kinking or pinching the USB cable can result in a broken wire. Data trans-
mission is then no longer possible.
►Connect only an undamaged USB cable with a max. length of 3 m to the
gage.
►Always coil up the USB cable for storage.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries
•Use the following alkaline or lithium battery type: Mignon, 1.5 V,
LR6 - AA
or
•Use the following NiMH rechargeable battery type: Mignon, 1.2 V,
HR6 - AA
Servicing and repairs
Modifications, repairs as well as maintenance and service work on the instru-
ment and accessories may be carried out only by service personnel authorized
by ATORN Service.
Exception: Changing the batteries/rechargeable batteries.

Description
2 Description
The gages in the ATORN DFT series
measure coating thicknesses easily,
quickly and in a nondestructive man-
ner. Gage construction with an inte-
grated measuring probe allows sin-
gle-hand measurements, preferably
on flat and cylindrical samples.
This operator's manual describes the
following gage types in the ATORN
DFT series:
•ATORN DFT FE
Gage type for measurements on fer-
rous base materials (Fe) only
•ATORN DFT FE+NF
Gage type for measurements on
both as measurements on ferrous
(FE) as well as on non-ferrous metal
base materials (NF)
Additional information can be found
in the data sheet, page 9

Description
2.3 Keys
There are 4 keys for operating the gage.
The bottom line of the display always shows the functions of the 4 keys (see
illustration below). The assignment depends on the opened menu page.
The function shown on the display is assigned to the key directly underneath (example).
The key has two functions:
•It switches the gage on and off when the key is held for at least 1 s
•Function shown in the bottom line of the display
The key has two functions:
•It moves the cursor/mark down when is shown in the bottom line of
the display
•It opens the main menu when is not shown in the bottom line of the
display
