Screen Calibration
3. A box will appear on the screen. Place the Calibration Disc on the screen
so that the edge of the disc aligns with the top and left edges of the box,
see below:
4. Adjust the width and height using the + / - buttons on the screen to
adjust the square size until the bottom and right edge of the calibration
disc are lined up. Accurate calibration is when all 4 edges of the box are
aligned with the caibration disc.
5. Press “Save or Accept”button. The instrument will save the screen scale
to accurately display expected sample size.

Entering Information
Sample Alloy
1. Press the“Metals”button at the bottom
of the Measurement Screen

Taking a Measurement
Basic Reading
1. Within 4 seconds the reading will stabilize. The thickness, diameter,
and sample area will also be displayed
2. If the arrow is in the green area of the graph display, then the sample is
reading is within expected range for the selected alloy type
3. The yellow area of the graph indicates caution. If the arrow is in the
yellow, then the sample is within the edge of expected range, but check
weight, size, and appearance carefully
4. If the arrow is in the red area of the graph, the sample is not within the
expected range for a valid alloy

14
Taking a Measurement
Sample Dimensions
1. When the reading has stabilized,
the instrument is ready to display the
expected sample dimensions

15
Taking a Measurement
2. If the sample is round, 2 lines will appear on the screen. Place the
sample on the screen so that the left edge of the sample is aligned with
the left line
The right edge of the sample sould be aligned
with the right line, close enough so that the
