1. Introducere
The Benetech GT235 Film/Coating Thickness Gauge is designed for quick and effective measurement of coating thickness. It accurately measures non-metallic coatings on non-magnetic metal substrates and non-magnetic coatings on magnetic metal substrates. The device automatically identifies the substrate type (magnetic or non-magnetic). This instrument is suitable for applications in automobile manufacturing, metal processing, chemical industry, and commodity inspection.
This manual provides detailed instructions for the proper use, setup, operation, and maintenance of your GT235 thickness gauge. Please read it thoroughly before operating the device.

3. Configurare
3.1 Instalarea bateriei
- Localizați compartimentul bateriei pe spatele dispozitivului (consultați Figura 2.2).
- Deschideți capacul compartimentului bateriei.
- Introduceți două baterii AAA de 1.5 V, asigurându-vă că polaritatea este corectă (+/-).
- Închideți bine capacul compartimentului bateriei.
3.2 Pornire/Oprire
- To power on, press any button. The device will perform a self-test and display the last measurement mode.
- The device features an automatic shutdown function to save power. It will power off after a period of inactivity.
4. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
4.1 Măsurare de bază
- Asigurați-vă că dispozitivul este pornit.
- Place the probe perpendicularly and firmly onto the surface of the coated material.
- The measurement reading will be displayed on the screen. The device will automatically identify the substrate type (Fe for magnetic, NFe for non-magnetic).
- Lift the probe from the surface to prepare for the next measurement.
4.2 moduri de măsurare
Apăsați tasta MOD button to cycle through different measurement modes:
- Single Measurement (SNG): Displays one measurement at a time.
- Continuous Measurement (CONT): Continuously takes and displays measurements as the probe is moved across the surface.
- Differential Measurement (DIF): Measures the difference between the current reading and a set reference value.
4.3 Selectarea unității
Apăsați tasta UNITATE button to switch between metric (µm, mm) and imperial (mil) units. The selected unit will be displayed on the screen.
4.4 Calibrare
Calibration ensures measurement accuracy. It is recommended to calibrate the device when using it in different environments or if significant temperature differences occur.
- Zero-point Calibration:
- Place the probe directly on a bare, uncoated metal substrate (magnetic or non-magnetic, depending on the measurement type).
- Țineți apăsat butonul CAL button until "0.0" or "CAL" appears, indicating zero calibration is complete.
- Calibrare offset:
- Perform zero-point calibration first.
- Place a calibration foil of known thickness on the bare substrate.
- Place the probe on the calibration foil.
- Adjust the displayed value to match the known thickness of the foil using the UNIT/MODE buttons (if applicable, specific steps may vary by firmware).
- Confirmați calibrarea.
- Basic Calibration:
- This typically involves calibrating with multiple known thickness foils across the measurement range. Refer to the specific calibration kit instructions for detailed steps.
5. Întreținere
5.1 Curățare
- Ștergeți corpul dispozitivului cu o lavetă moale și uscată.
- Nu utilizați agenți de curățare abrazivi sau solvenți, deoarece aceștia pot deteriora casing sau afișaj.
- Keep the probe tip clean and free from debris to ensure accurate measurements.
5.2 Depozitare
- Când nu le utilizați pentru perioade lungi de timp, scoateți bateriile pentru a preveni scurgerile.
- Store the device in its protective case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
5.3 Înlocuirea bateriei
- When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace both AAA batteries promptly.
- Urmați pașii de instalare a bateriei descriși în Secțiunea 3.1.
