Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Extech Instruments CG104 Coating Thickness Tester. The CG104 is a

portable meter designed for non-invasive coating thickness measurements with automatic

recognition of the material under test.

The meter uses two measurement methods: magnetic induction (for ferrous metal substrates)

and eddy current (for non-ferrous metal substrates).

This device is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of

reliable service. Please visit our website (www.extech.com) to check for the latest version of this

User Guide, Product Updates, Product Registration, and Customer Support.

Safety Information

CAUTION

•Do not use the unit near devices that generate strong electromagnetic radiation or near a static

electrical charge, as these may cause errors.

•Do not use the unit where it may be exposed to corrosive or explosive gases. The unit may be damaged,

or an explosion may occur.

•Do not keep or use this unit in direct sunlight or where condensation is present. The meter’s housing

could become deformed, its insulation may be damaged, or it may no longer function according to

specification.

•Do not place the meter on or around hot objects (70°C/158°F); otherwise damage to the case is likely.

•If the meter is exposed to significant changes in ambient temperature, allow 30 minutes for

temperature stabilization, before taking measurements.

•Condensation may form on the sensor when moving from a cold to a hot environment. Wait for 10

minutes for condensation to dissipate before taking measurements.

•This unit is not constructed to be waterproof and dustproof. Do not use it in a wet or extremely dusty

environment.

•In order to take accurate measurements, ensure that the sensing tip contacts the coated surface tightly

without a tilt angle.

•Please ensure that there are no air bubbles between substrate and coating.

•Substrate zero calibration must be performed before each use. The enclosed zeroing plates are suitable

for the zeroing calibration as described in this User Guide.

•To ensure measurement accuracy, the Two-point Calibration, as described in this User Guide, is

recommended before each use.

•Zeroing on a specific material substrate still needs to be done before taking formal measurements, such

as for Iron, Steel, Bronze, Copper, Nickel, Zinc, SUS304, etc. This is to avoid measurement errors caused

by the differences in individual substrates. End users can expect the best results on a specific metal by

performing a Zero calibration and a Two-point calibration as described in this User Guide.

WARNING

This instrument uses a magnetic field method to measure the coating thickness on a ferrous

metal base. If this meter is placed in an environment of 20mG (milli Gauss) or above, its

accuracy will be affected. The meter should be kept at least 30cm away from the source of

interference. The list below can be used as a reference for interference potentials.

Electromagnetic field strength is shown in milli Gauss:

Electromagnetic Source: 0cm 30cm

Cellular Phone Charger: 50~ 500 < 1

Notebook Power Supply: 100~ 1000 < 5

LCD Display: 10~ 100 < 1

Fan: 100~ 1000 < 5

Reading Lamp: 400~ 4000 < 10

Note: Any device with an internal coil should be considered as a possible interference

source.

Operation

Meter Power and Auto Power OFF

The meter powers up automatically when the sensor is pressed against a measurement surface.

If the display does not switch ON, install or replace the batteries. The Auto Power OFF (APO)

feature switches the device OFF after 30 seconds of inactivity. Note that the APO feature is

deactivated while programming in the ‘Options’ menu.

Measurements, ZERO function, and Alarms

Practice with the supplied film and zero reference metal substrates to learn how the meter

operates before moving on to a professional application. The heavier metal substrate is the

ferrous (magnetic) substrate and the lighter metal substrate is the non-ferrous (non-magnetic)

substrate (they are labeled).

When in the AUTO MODE (see ‘Options’ menu) the meter automatically senses ferrous and non-

ferrous substrates (the display icons inform the user) otherwise the user must select ferrous or

non-ferrous in the ‘Options’ menu.

1. Set the meter to ferrous, non-ferrous, or automatic sensing mode in the ‘Options’ menu.

2. Make sure that the tip of the meter is clean of all oil and particles.

3. Press the spring-loaded sensor against the surface of a blank round ferrous or non-

ferrous substrate.

4. While maintaining contact with the substrate, momentarily press the ZERO/CLEAR

button. The meter will beep once and ‘0’ will appear on the display indicating that the

meter has been zeroed.

5. Place a reference film on either the ferrous or non-ferrous substrate.

6. Take a measurement by pressing the spring-loaded sensor against the reference film.

7. The meter will beep once when the measurement is taken. Note the reading on the

display. If it is out of specification perform a calibration.

8. If the coating thickness measurement is above the range of the meter, the meter will

display "---" and emit a series of beeps.

9. If the measured value exceeds the High or Low Alarm limit the meter will emit a series of

beeps and the high alarm (up arrow) or low alarm (down arrow) icon will appear on the

top of the display. Program the High/Low Alarms in the ‘Options’ menu.

CAUTION

Keep the meter clear of Electromagnetic radiation sources as explained in the Safety section of

this User Guide.

‘Options’ Menu

From the Measurement Mode, press MENU to access the ‘Options’ menu. The CAL icon will blink.

Use the ▲▼ buttons to scroll through the following options; detailed instructions follow this list:

CAL Two-Point Calibration

rEC Record setting/recall (select Recoding ON/OFF for MIN, MAX, AVG, and MAX minus MIN)

ALr High-Low Alarm Settings (select ON or OFF and program alarm limits)

Unt Measurement Units (mils or microns)

FEr Substrate Material setting (select ferrous, non-ferrous, or auto sensing)

CAL - Two-Point Calibration

Use the uncoated substrate and the 1006 μmreference film or use two reference films (one

thinner than the other) of known thickness.

Remove the protective plastic coating from the metal reference standards before use.

Note: To clear previously set calibration points, while in the measuring mode, press and hold

ZERO/CLEAR for at least 2 seconds. The LCD will display "0000".

The maximum possible calibration value is 1006 μm (39.6 mils)

1. Turn on the meter by pressing the tip.

2. Press MENU to access the Two-point Calibration mode. ‘CAL’ will be flashing in the upper

right corner of the display.

3. Press MENU again and the LCD will display Lo in the upper right hand corner.

Use the up and down arrow buttons to set the value to ‘0’ for an uncoated substrate or

to the thickness value of the thinner reference film being used for the calibration.

4. Press MENU/ENTER to confirm the value. The display will flash ‘PUSH’.

5. Press the tip of the gauge to the uncoated substrate for ‘0’ or to the substrate with the

thinner reference film. The gauge will beep once. The low value calibration point is now

set.

6. The LCD will display Hi in the upper right hand corner.

Use the up and down arrow buttons to adjust the display to the value of the thicker

reference film. Use the standard coating plate (1006μm/39.6mils) or a known reference

film that is thicker than the first calibration film.

7. Press MENU/ENTER to confirm the reading. The display will flash ‘PUSH’.

8. Press the tip of the gauge to the thicker reference film. The gauge will beep once and

then return to the measurement mode.The high value calibration point is now set.

9. The meter is now ready to make measurements.

10. To abort at any time without saving the Two-point Calibration, Press ESC/DEL.
