DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 Guide Rapide page 3

When powered-up, the PosiTector automatically determines
which probe is attached and does a self-check.
To disconnect a probe from a body, slide the plastic
probe connector horizontally (in the direction of the
arrow) away from the body. Reverse these steps to
attach a different probe. It is not necessary to power-
down the Gage when switching probes.
The PosiTector gage body accepts a wide variety of
probe types including magnetic, eddy-current and
ultrasonic coating thickness, surface profile, environmental,
hardness, salt contamination and ultrasonic wall thickness probes.

Calibration, Verification, and Adjustment
The PosiTector 6000 non-destructively measures the thickness
of coatings on metals.Three steps ensure best accuracy...
1. Calibration: typically performed by the manufacturer.
All probes include a Certificate of Calibration.
2. Verification of Accuracy: typically performed by the user on
known reference standards such as the included plastic shims
or optional coated thickness standards.
3. Adjustment: Adjustment, or Cal Adjustment is the act of
aligning the Gage's thickness readings to match that of a
known sample in order to improve the effectiveness of the Gage
on a specific surface or in a specific portion of its measurement
range. 1-point or 2-point Cal adjustments are possible.
Probes are factory calibrated and perform an automatic self-
check each time a measurement is taken. For many applications
no further adjustment is necessary after a Reset (pg. 4).
Just check ZERO on the uncoated substrate, then measure.
However, sometimes readings can be influenced by changes in
substrate shape, composition, surface roughness or by measuring
in a different location on the part. That is why Cal adjustments are
made possible.The
adjustment is made to the Gage.
