4 GETTING STARTED

4.1 ENSURING YOUR GAUGE HAS THE LATEST FIRMWARE

& UPGRADING YOUR GAUGE

Each gauge is supplied with 2 x AA alkaline

batteries.

To insert or replace the batteries:

To ensure that your gauge has the most up-to-date gauge firmware,

allowing you to benefit from the latest features and functionality, we

recommend that the gauge is connected to ElcoMaster on a regular

basis and before first use.

Simply connect the gauge via USB to an internet connected computer

running ElcoMaster using the ‘Connect Gauge’ feature. If a later

version of the gauge firmware is available, ‘Update Gauge’ will be

displayed to the right of the gauge details. Click ‘Update Gauge’ to

install the latest firmware.

4.2 FITTING THE BATTERIES

1 Lift the latch on the battery compartment

cover and rotate anti-clockwise to remove

the cover.

3 Refit the cover and rotate the latch

clockwise to close.

2 Insert 2 batteries taking care to ensure

correct polarity.

The battery condition is indicated by a symbol in the top right of the

display ( ):

4 Full symbol (orange) = batteries at full capacity

4.3 SWITCHING ON / OFF

4 Empty symbol (red, flashing) = batteries at lowest

sustainable level

To switch off: Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the screen

goes blank.

4.4 SETTING THE BEEP VOLUME

Note: The gauge will switch off automatically after 1 minute of inactivity.

2 Use the softkeys to highlight ‘ ’ and press ‘ ’ to select.

4.5 SETTING THE SCREEN BRIGHTNESS

2 Use the softkeys to highlight ‘ ’ and press ‘ ’ to select.

To switch on: Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the Elcometer

logo is displayed.

3 Use the softkeys to adjust the screen brightness and press

‘ ’ to set or ‘ ’ to disregard any changes made and return to the

previous screen.

4 The default setting is ‘ ’ (Auto) .

The screen brightness can be set to ‘ ’ - the brightness is (Auto)

adjusted automatically using the gauge’s ambient light sensor - or can

be set by the user to suit the measurement conditions. To set the

screen brightness:

The gauge beeps each time a measurement is taken. To set the beep

volume:

1 Press the ‘ ’ softkey.

3 Use the softkeys to adjust the volume and press ‘ ’ to set or

‘ ’ to disregard any changes made and return to the previous

screen.

The Elcometer 415 calculates and displays statistical values as each

reading is taken, see Section 6 ‘Statistics’ for details.

The gauge should be calibrated before taking readings, see Section 7

‘Calibrating the Gauge’ on page en-6.

1 Whilst holding the gauge perpendicular, gently place the probe

onto the surface.

To take a reading:

4 The reading may be inaccurate if the probe is not held flat against the

surface.

2 The coating thickness is shown on the display.

4 ‘>1000µm’ (‘>40mils’) indicates a reading outside the gauge range.

3 For subsequent readings, lift the probe off and then replace it on

to the coated surface.

Using ElcoMaster the Elcometer 415 can simultaneously transmit the

live reading to a PC or mobile device (Model T only) for report

generation, see Section 8 ‘Downloading Data’ on page en-8 for more

information.

4.6 SELECTING THE MEASUREMENT UNITS

The Elcometer 415 can take measurements in µm and mils. To set the

measurement units:

2 Use the softkeys to highlight ‘µm/mil’ and press ‘ ’ to

alternate between ‘µm’ and ‘mil’, followed by the ç softkey to

return to the main reading screen.

4.7 SCREEN ROTATION

To enable / disable automatic screen rotation:

1 Press the ‘ ’ softkey.

2 Use the softkeys to highlight ‘ ’ and press ‘ ’ to alternate

between ‘ ’ (disabled) and ‘ ’ (enabled), followed by the ç

softkey to return to the main reading screen.

1 Press the ‘ ’ softkey.

Using the internal accelerometer, the gauge will automatically rotate

the display to allow the user to easily read the thickness value in any

orientation - 0°, 90°, 180° & 270°.

values of thickness to ensure accuracy on different substrate types,

shapes and surface finishes.

The calibration adjustment method chosen depends on the condition

of the substrate to be measured. As the Elcometer 415 has been

specifically designed for measuring smooth coatings on thin ferrous

and non-ferrous metal surfaces, two calibration options are available;

Zero Calibration and Smooth Calibration.

Calibration adjustment is the process of setting the gauge to known

A simple method for calibrating on smooth

uncoated metal and the gauge will adjust the

calibration accordingly. Also known as the

single point calibration method.

substrates. Simply place the probe on the

Smooth

Calibration

This is a more accurate method of calibrating

the gauge than the Zero method as it

requires the user to calibrate the gauge

using a foil of known thickness and the un-

coated substrate.

6 STATISTICS

The Elcometer 415 calculates and displays the following statistical

values as each measurement is taken:

Ÿ Number of readings (n:)

Ÿ Average reading (X:)

Ÿ Lowest reading (Lo:)

Ÿ Highest reading (Hi:)

To display or hide the statistics from the screen, press the ‘ ’

softkey.

To clear the current statistical values, ‘ ’ softkey press and hold the

for approximately 3 seconds (when statistics are displayed). The

gauge will beep and the statistics will reset to zero.

7 CALIBRATING THE GAUGE (continued)

Note: FNF gauges must be calibrated in both the ferrous

and non-ferrous mode to ensure accuracy of

readings.

1 Press the ‘ ’ softkey.

4 Foils can also be stacked to increase the

thickness value.

3 Use the softkeys to adjust the value,

followed by ‘ ’ to set.

2 When prompted, whilst holding the gauge

perpendicular, gently place the probe onto

the uncoated metal substrate. ‘Zero’ will

be displayed and the gauge will return to

the main reading screen.

4 When selecting the foil value, the user should

choose a thickness that is close to but greater

than the expected dry film thickness value.

4 When prompted, whilst holding the gauge

perpendicular, gently place the probe onto

the uncoated metal substrate. ‘Zero’ will

be displayed and the gauge will return to

the main reading screen.

7.1 SELECTING THE CALIBRATION METHOD

2 Use the softkeys to highlight ‘ ’ and press ‘ ’ to

alternate between Zero ‘ ’ and Smooth ‘ ’ calibration,

followed by the ç softkey to return to the main reading screen.

1 Press the ‘ ’ softkey.

2 When prompted, whilst holding the gauge

perpendicular, gently place the probe onto the

centre of the foil(s).

Note: FNF gauges must be calibrated in both the ferrous

and non-ferrous mode to ensure accuracy of

readings.
