Take notice of the following items:
•The top bridges on the unit are very sensitive to pressure. Do not press on
them or place objects on top of them. Pressure on their surface can cause
miscalibration.
•Do not remove the plastic cover on the display. It is there to protect the
display from scratches that can occur when placing samples.
Sigma Metalytics and the Precious metal Verier Pro make no claim, guarantee or promise that measurments made
by the Precious Metal Verier Pro indicates that any sample is or is not the selected metal or alloy, whether the reading
is within or is not within the bounds consistent with the selected metal or alloy. To insure accuracy, read the instructions
and special conditions which can alter the reading from outside to within the expected bounds, or from within to outside
the expected bounds. The readings given by the precious Metal Verier Pro are INFORMATIONAL ONLY and any judgement
about or action taken on any sample is entirely the responsibility of the user.

The PMV Pro is a revolutionary device used to electronically determine if the
metal in a precious metal coin or bar is as expected.
There are four measurements you can take with this instrument:
Basic Verifier mode: The PMV Pro measures the characteristic resistance or resistivity of the
sample, just under the surface of the metal.
Thru Mode: In this mode the PMV Pro measures completely through the metal in the sample.
It measures the characteristic resistance or resistivity completely through the sample.
Thickness Measurement: The PMV Pro electronically measures the thickness of the sample.
Dimension Verification: The PMV Pro allows you to enter the weight of the sample, then
determine if the overall dimensions are consistent with the expected metal. In this way you can
check the specific gravity of the sample.
