4.1 ENSURING YOUR GAUGE HAS THE LATEST FIRMWARE &
UPGRADING YOUR GAUGE
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
Each gauge is supplied with 2 x AA alkaline
batteries.
To insert or replace the batteries:
1 Lift the latch on the battery compartment
cover and rotate anti-clockwise to remove
the cover.
2 Insert 2 batteries taking care to ensure
correct polarity.
3 Refit the cover and rotate the latch clockwise to close.

4.4 SCREEN SETTINGS
A number of screen settings can be defined by the user via
Menu/Setup/Screen Settings including:
Ÿ Screen Brightness; This can be set to ‘Manual’ or ‘Auto’ - the
brightness is adjusted automatically using the gauge’s ambient
light sensor.
Ÿ Screen Timeout; The display will dim if inactive for more than
15 seconds and will go ‘black’ if inactive for the period defined.
The gauge can also be set to switch off automatically after 5
minutes of inactivity via Menu/Setup/Gauge Auto Off.
Ÿ Screen Rotation; Using the internal accelerometer, the gauge
rotates the display to allow the user to measure or read values at
0°, 90°, 180° and 270° orientation if ‘Auto Display Rotation’ is
selected via Menu/Setup/Auto Display Rotation.

4.5 SELECTING THE MEASUREMENT UNITS
Readings can be displayed in µm or mils. To select the measurement
units, press Menu/Setup/Units.
4.6 SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE CALIBRATION MEMORY
The Elcometer 456 IPC gauge is factory calibrated to ensure accurate
measurement on blast profiled, ferrous (steel) substrates.
The gauge has been pre-calibrated with four profile measurement
ranges (see table below) which are determined by the measurement
units selected by the user.
Once the profile of the coated substrate has been determined, press
‘Cal’ and select the relevant calibration profile range.
Units: µm (ISO 19840)
Units: mils (US Navy NSI 009-32)
Icon
Calibration Prole Range
Icon
Calibration Prole Range
0 - 25µm, Smooth
0 - 1 mils
25 - 60µm, Fine
1 - 2 mils
60 - 100µm, Medium
2 - 3 mils
>100µm, Coarse
3 - 4 mils
When the measurement units are set to microns (Menu/Setup/
Units/µm), the gauge operates in accordance with ISO 19840. When
set to mils (Menu/Setup/Units/mils), the gauge operates in accordance
with US Navy NSI 009-32.
Note: The gauge resolution is fixed at 10µm / 1 mil (where 5µm / 0.5 mil is rounded up).
4.7 TESTING THE CALIBRATION
As the gauge is factory calibrated, the calibration cannot be adjusted
by the user and the gauge should be returned to Elcometer for
re-calibration. The user can, however, verify the accuracy of the
gauge calibration in the field using the ‘Test Calibration’ option.
To test the calibration, press Cal/Test Calibration and follow the
on-screen instructions.

5 TAKING A READING
5.1 BEFORE YOU START
1 Press the On/Off button to switch the gauge on.
2 Select the measurement units - see Section 4.5 on page 5.
3 Select the calibration profile range - see Section 4.6 on page 5.
5.2 TAKING A READING
The Elcometer 456 IPC gauge takes readings in groups of three.
When the third reading is taken, the average (mean, xbar) of the three
readings is displayed on the right hand side.
To take a reading:
1 Whilst holding the gauge
perpendicular, gently pl ace the probe
onto the surface.
4 Do not drag the probe across the surface
or bang the probe down hard onto the
surface as this will damage the probe tip
resulting in inaccurate readings.
4 ‘>1500µm’ (’>60mils’) indicates a reading
over the probe range.
2 For subsequent readings, lift the probe
off and then replace it onto the coated
surface.
4 Do not allow the probe to hover over the
surface as this could result in a false
reading.
The first reading taken is displayed next to
‘1', the second next to ‘2' etc. When the
third reading has been taken, the average
(mean, xbar) of the three individual
readings displayed is shown (X:).
The average (mean, xbar) reading is
cleared when a fourth reading is taken.
By selecting ‘Send Individual Readings’ or ‘Send Mean (xbar) Reading’
via Menu/Bluetooth, the user can choose to transfer the individual
readings or just the average (mean, xbar) reading values to
