Scan and Auto Repeat Modes

Using the Scan Probe in Scan Mode
Using the Elcometer 456 in Scan Mode with the Scan Probe enables users
to significantly reduce dry film thickness inspection times without affecting
accuracy:• Slide the Scan Probe over the entire surface area, as the probe is lifted off
the surface the gauge displays the average coating thickness value, thehighest thickness and the lowest thickness values.
• Each set of three readings (average, high and low) can be displayed on the
run graph and stored into the memory.
During each scan the Elcometer 456 displays the live thickness reading together with an analogue bar graphwhich graphically indicates the thickness relative to both the nominal thickness and any user-defined limits.

•

Using the Scan Probe in Auto Repeat Mode
When the Scan Probe is slid over the coated surface in Auto Repeat Mode*,a coating thickness reading is taken approximately every half a second. Eachindividual dry film thickness reading is stored into the memory.
With a reading rate in excess of 140 readings per minute, the Auto Repeat
Mode can significantly speed up the dry film thickness inspection of large
coated areas.

* Scan and Auto Repeat Modes require an Elcometer 456 Model T gauge with Scan Probe.

Scan Probes

The Scan Probes further enhance the speed and accuracy of field based dry
film coating thickness measurement:
•
•
•
•
•

Featuring a highly durable ‘snap on’ replaceable probe cap
A revolutionary design which allows users to take individual readings or
rapidly scan large surface areas - without damaging the probe or coating
Uses the Elcometer 456’s patented offset feature1, ensuring that any cap
wear during use2 is incorporated within the calibration process - the gauge
even informs the user when to replace the cap.
Standard Scan Probe or larger Roller Bearing Scan Probe available
Roller Bearing Scan Probe is ideal for large coated structures, abrasive coatings and pre-construction
primers.

Counted Average and Fixed Batch Modes

Counted Average Mode•

The Elcometer 456 Model S and Model T are supplied with the Counted
Average Mode•

Once the user has defined the number of individual gauge readings to betaken within a spot measurement, the gauge stores the average of theindividual gauge readings into the memory.

Fixed Batch Sizes•

The Fixed Batch Size feature within the Elcometer 456 Model T allows
users to define the maximum number of readings in each batch.

•Once the maximum number of readings has been reached the gauge automatically opens up a new batch
which is linked to the previous batch (name-1, name-2, etc.).

Working with Standards and Test Methods

•
•
•
•

1
2

International Standards and test methods often describe the number ofindividual gauge readings to be taken in a spot measurement and/or thenumber of spot measurements required over a defined surface area.
SSPC PA2 requires a minimum of three gauge readings to be taken per
spot measurement and five spot measurements over 10m2 (~100ft2).
The Elcometer 456 Model S or Model T can be set with a counted averageof three and a fixed batch size of five to meet these requirements. Eachbatch defines an area of measurement.
When the Scan Probe is connected to the Elcometer 456 Model T with
Auto Repeat Mode selected, SSPC PA2 (or similar test methods) can becompleted more than 40% faster.

Patent Number US6243661
When tested on smooth surfaces probe end caps have been scanned in excess of 50km (30 miles)

Data Output

One RS232 serial output via 9 way D-Type connector

Power Supply

Requires 5V 1A(min) DC supply via mini USB. External plug-in mains adaptor withinterchangeable UK/EU/US/AUS pins supplied.

Packing List

Elcometer Data Output Controller, USB to RS232 converter lead, power supply(with 4 sets of interchangeable pins)

Using the Data Output Controller
The Elcometer 456 coating thickness gauge probe is attached to a robot
arm, to automatically measure dry film thickness on the production line.
The Elcometer 456 connects to the data output controller to transfer live
dry film thickness readings via RS232 ports to the automated production
line.
Customised software for the data output controller can be produced,
using high/low limits to trigger a pass or fail on the automated production
line, helping to improve quality.

Calibration Foils Sets

Elcometer 990

The Elcometer 990 Calibration Foils are ideal for use in the laboratory, on the
production line or on site. Calibration foils or ‘shims’ are the most convenient wayof creating a coating thickness standard on the substrate material, surface finish or
form. This is the ideal method for adjusting the calibration of the coating thickness
gauge to ensure the greatest possible accuracy.
Features:•

Metric and Imperial values displayed on each foil•

Available individually or in foil sets•

Precision foils with ±1% accuracy•

Each foil has a unique serial number for traceability•

Available in thicknesses from 12.5μm to 20mm (0.5 to 790mils)
