BSIDE T2X Digital Coating Thickness Gauge User Manual

1. Produs terminatview

The BSIDE T2X Digital Coating Thickness Gauge is designed for non-destructive, fast, and precise measurement of coating thickness. It can measure non-magnetic coatings (e.g., aluminum, chrome, copper, enamel, rubber, paint) on magnetic substrates (steel, iron, magnetically charged alloys) and non-conductive coatings (e.g., enamel, rubber, paints, plastic anodized layers) on non-ferrous metals (aluminum, brass, zinc, tin).

This device is widely used in various applications including used vehicle inspection, electroplating, laboratory testing, metal processing, industrial painting, and shipbuilding. It is ideal for verifying paint quality and detecting defects on vehicles to determine if they have been factory-painted or repainted. It also assists in paint correction by ensuring uniform coating thickness.

4. Configurare și utilizare inițială

4.1 Încărcarea dispozitivului

The BSIDE T2X comes with a built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. Before first use, or if the battery indicator shows low power, charge the device.

1. Conectați cablul USB furnizat la portul de încărcare al dispozitivului.
2. Conectați celălalt capăt al cablului USB la un adaptor de alimentare USB standard (nu este inclus) sau la portul USB al unui computer.
3. The charging indicator light will illuminate. Allow the device to charge fully.
4. Once fully charged, disconnect the USB cable. A full charge provides up to 10 hours of continuous operation.

4.2 Pornire/Oprire

• Pentru a porni: Press and hold the red Power button (●) până când se aprinde afișajul.
• Pentru a opri: Press and hold the red Power button (●) until the display turns off. The device also features an automatic shutdown function to conserve battery.

4.3 Calibrare

Regular calibration ensures measurement accuracy. Perform zero calibration before each use or when measuring different types of substrates.

1. Asigurați-vă că dispozitivul este pornit.
2. Place the sensor firmly and vertically on the bare (uncoated) Fe (ferrous) calibration plate.
3. Apăsați tasta CALIB ZERO buton. Afișajul ar trebui să afișeze „0.0” sau o valoare foarte apropiată de zero.
4. Repeat the process for the NFe (non-ferrous) calibration plate if you will be measuring non-ferrous substrates.
5. For more advanced calibration, use the provided calibration foils of known thicknesses on the respective calibration plates. Consult the on-screen prompts or the full manual for detailed steps.

5. Instrucțiuni de utilizare

5.1 Luarea unei măsurători

The device automatically detects the substrate type (Fe/NFe) and displays the coating thickness.

1. Ensure the device is calibrated.
2. Place the sensor vertically and firmly on the coated surface you wish to measure.
3. The device will automatically activate and display the measurement results on the screen.
4. Ridicați dispozitivul de pe suprafață pentru a-l pregăti pentru următoarea măsurătoare.
