3 Press to zero the gauge and set the gauge to store the
maximum force recorded during test, known as ‘Max Hold’.
Max Hold: The display holds the maximum value until the button
is pressed for a second time. ‘Max Hold’ should be switched on before
undertaking an adhesion test, signified on the display by either
or . The ‘Max Hold’ feature is switched off when the gauge is
switched off.

1 Press to switch the gauge on.
ZEROING THE DIGITAL PRESSURE GAUGE
Note: “ ” will be displayed if the gauge zero has failed. This is due to the
pressure not being fully released from the instrument. If this occurs, release all
the pressure by turning the crank handle followed by the coarse adjustment
screw anti-clockwise until fully unwound and press to repeat the gauge
zero.

2 Pull up the quick connect coupling, place
the actuator (with skirt fitted ) over the
dolly then release the coupling to grip the
dolly.

1 Ensure the quick connect coupling is fully
depressed.
When testing at height or on vertical surfaces, in order to prevent damage to the
surrounding coating or harm to the user, it may be necessary to use the
Magnetic Anchor Clamp accessory, part number T99923797. This connects to
the lanyard ring on the top of the actuator to prevent the actuator from falling
when the dolly is pulled from the substrate.
3 Turn the coarse adjustment screw clockwise to apply a small
amount of pressure (approximately 1 - 2 a / 145 - 290psi), until
the actuator firmly grips the dolly.

4 Rotate the crank handle clockwise to undertake the test - see
Section 6 “Performing the Test” for details.
4The quick connect coupling is not a bayonet
fitting. Do not attempt to push the actuator on to
the dolly without lifting the quick connect
coupling.
