1. Measuring Principles and Features
■ Measuringprinciple
■ Features
● Thecalibrationcurvememoryfunctionisintegrated.
Up to 50 types can be calibrated and stored as an application for each probe. Thanks
to this function, the measurement can be performed without troublesome calibration
from the second time at the same measurement. A memorized application will not be
erased even if the power is switched off.
● Satisfactorilydiversiedfunctionsareprovidedasacoatingthicknessgauge.
Various settings such as auto power-off function, backlight setting, upper/lower limit
setting function, and statistics function are available.
● Datacanbeoutputtedtotheprinter.
Measured values, statistical calculation results, and more can be printed with the built-
in printer.
Electromagnetic type (Fe probe) Eddy current type (NFe probe)
Coating to be measured Paint Plastic Lacquer Resin Rubber Enamel Lining Zinc Chrome Tin Copper Aluminum Other Paint (Anodic oxide coating) Alumite Rubber Plastic Enamel Lacquer Resin Other
Substrate Iron/steel Aluminum, Copper, Brass, etc.
● Electromagnetictype(Feprobe)
Measurement of non-magnetic coatings on
magnetic metals
If an electromagnetic coil through which a constant
low-frequency current flows is brought into the
proximity of iron (magnetic metal), the number of
magnetic ux lines through the coil varies with the
approaching distance, which causes the variation of
voltage between the ends of the coil. This change
in voltage is detected by the current value and is
calculated in terms of coating thickness.
The Coating Thickness Tester L-500 is a coating thickness gauge that can measure in both
electromagnetic type and eddy current type depending on the probe to be connected.

● Eddycurrenttype(NFeprobe)
Measurement of insulating coating on non-magnetic
metals
If an induction coil through which a constant high-
frequency current ows is brought into the proximity
of a metal, eddy currents are generated on the
surface of the metal. Then these eddy currents
uctuate according to the distance between the coil
and the metal surface and thus changes the voltage
on each end of the coil. This change in voltage is
detected by the current value and is calculated in
terms of coating thickness.

5. Measurement Mode
Procedure Display
1. Turn on the power switch.
Press the [POWER] key of the main unit.
2. Perform foil calibration and substrate calibration.
For an object to be measured for the rst time, perform foil calibration and
substrate calibration, and register the application (→P.20).
● Foil calibration is always required to obtain correct measured values with
the coating thickness tester. (→P.16)
● It is recommended to perform substrate calibration on a regular basis,
for example substrate calibration is per formed before the star t of
measurement on a daily basis, in order to perform accurate measurement
(→ P.1 5) .
3. Measurement
As shown in the gure, hold the probe by pinching
the grip part near the measuring part. By holding
the grip part and pressing it, the pressure at
the time of measurement becomes constant.
At measurement, quickly press the probe guide
so that it is perpendicular to the measurement
surface. When a beep sound is heard and the
reading is displayed, disconnect the probe from
the measurement surface.
The next measurement should be per formed
after the tip of the probe is separated from the
measurement surface by 10 mm or more.
● To measure a pipe-shaped object or a flat
surface continuously, a probe adapter can be
used for stable measurement.
● If you drag the probe while pressing it against
the measurement surface, the tip of the probe
may wear and you may not be able to make
accurate measurements. Dragging the probe
while pressing it against a measurement
sur face may cause wear to the probe tip,
which may disable accurate measurement.

6. About Statistics Function
The product is equipped with the statistics function that calculates average values and
so on.
● Statisticalcontents
Calculates average values, standard deviations, maximum values, and minimum
values.
● Preparationforstatistics
Measured data must be stored in memory for statistics.
Set "Data memory" to "Enable" (→P.31).
● DataStorage
When measured data is saved, a data number starting from 1 is assigned to each data
in order. Each data belongs to a block and a group and is used as a statistical range.
<Image of data storage>
• Block
A block is a smaller unit of measured data classication, and can store any consecutive
numbers of measured data. Blocks are numbered from 1, and each time a block is
updated, the number increases to block 2, block 3, and so on.
• Group
A group is a larger unit of measured data classication, which is a data classication
that stores arbitrary blocks together. Non-consecutive blocks can be grouped together
because a group with which each block can be registered can be specied. Groups
can be named up to 12 alphanumeric characters.
* If a group whose blocks contain measured data is changed to another, the blocks are
updated at the same time.
* Themeasureddataissavedinthegroupandblockspeciedbeforethemeasurement.It
cannot be moved to another block or group after measurement.
● Statisticalmethod
There are two methods to perform statistics; one is a method to specify data to be
statistically calculated after measurement (data statistics), and the other is a method
to specify the place (block and group) to which data is put before measurement and
to statistically calculate the data therein (block statistics, group statistics). For further
information, see page 25.

data reaches the upper limit, or the like (→P.30).
• [DELETE] key
The data immediately after measurement can be deleted with the [DELETE] key. This
key is used when the data is found to be incorrect immediately after measurement.
• Deletion of specied data
A list of measured data can be displayed after measurement, and the data that is not
suitable for statistical calculation can be deleted from the list. This deletion can be
used when obviously abnormal data is deleted by viewing the list afterward.
• Deletion of all data
This deletion can be used when the number of saved data reaches the upper limit. All
the blocks and groups will be deleted.

Foil calibration is always required before measurement to obtain correct measurement
values with the coating thickness tester. First, prepare a "substrate" that has the same
material, shape and thickness as the object to be measured, and to which no coating
such as plating or painting is applied. Then, prepare four "calibration foils (samples
whose thickness is known)" according to the thickness of the coating to be measured.
Refer to the table below for combinations of "calibration foils".
● Exampleofcombinationofsubstrateandcalibrationfoil
Determine the calibration range slightly wider than the measurement range you want to
use. Then, select calibration foils so that they are as evenly spaced as possible.
*1 For 2,000μm, stack 500μm and 1,500μm calibration foils (The eddy current type is not
usedbecausethemeasurementrangeisupto1,200μm).
* Use the attached substrate to easily check the accuracy of the instrument.
* Valuesoftheprovidedcalibrationfoilsarenottheexactlysameasthevaluesdescribed
in the table but approximations of the actual measurement values. In addition, a
calibration foil with a thickness other than the provided foils is available as an option.
Please contact us for further information.
* Even if the measurement target is the same, the calibration content stored in the
application may deviate from the measurement value due to wear of the probe tip
orchangesinthesurroundingenvironment(temperature,humidity,etc.).Perform
a substrate calibration and foil calibration on a regular basis to ensure accurate
measurement. The same applies when the object to be measured is changed or the probe
is replaced with a new one.
