5 Setting of Zero Ref erence
When using the probe for the first time, after a batter y exchange, with varying appli cati ons,
or after a long peri od the probe was not used, it is necessary to take a zero reference.
Press the !- key. Then pl ace the probe on one of the reference plates in the case or on an
appropriat e uncoated Fe- or NFe-substrate. A cont rol number is shown in the display. Then
lift the probe of f by minimum 5 cm (2"). After a second control number appears shortly in the
display, i t switches to 0.0!m (mil). The control numbers are not of importance f or the user.
The process of zero adj ustment is completed now.
: The zero reference can also be set by placing the probe first and then pressing the
Note
!- key.
Regarding zero adj ustment on rough surfaces see § 7.1.2.
6 Measuring Mode

: For applications with varrying substrates (Fe- and NFe-
substrates) the Fe/NFe
For example if the substrate changes from steel to al uminum and
the probe is placed on the new surf ace for the first time, the
gauge displays the message " No Fe-substrate – repeat". When
the probe is placed again t he new m easurement is taken with the
NFe-mode.
The procedure is accor dingly when changing fr om a non-fer rous

1 General
The gauges of byko-test 8500 family, together with t he corr esponding probes, constitute a
modular system. The handhel d gauges and the probes can be arbitrarily combined. The
probes can be used integr ated in the gauge as well as attached to it via adapter cable. Thi s
enables the user t o choose the optimum measuring configuration for his appli cation.
The gauge options can not only be set using the simple menu. With the QuaNix
all options can be comfortably preset on the PC and finally downloaded into the gauge.
A wireless interface is used for the data exchange between gauge and PC.
2 Change of Probes
The probes or the housi ng of t he adapter cable lock in when inserted in the gauge. To
remove them from the gauge press the button on the rear side of the gauge and pull the
probe or the adapter out.
After inserti ng a probe the gauge displays inf ormation about type of probe, serial number
and number of softwar e version.
These data can be called anytime by pressing key ! when the gauge is in the normal
display mode.
3 Power Supply and Change of Batteries
The byko-test 8500 gauge is powered by 2 batteries AA (1.5 V) alkal ine, or 2 rechargeable
batteri es AA (1.2 V). Please note that the capacity of the rechar geable batteries is
significantly lower.
Step 1: A change of batteries is advisable. However quite a number of
measurements can still be taken. The EL-backlight is still active.
Step 2: (small symbol
deactivated.
Step 3: (large symbol in center of displ ay
taken.
During change of batteries menu settings and all readings in the memory remain st ored.
: Only setting of dat e and time can get lost, when the change of batt eri es takes longer
Note
than about 2 minutes.
IMPORTANT
Discharged batt eries might leak and damage the gauge.
: Empty batteries should be disposed of properly. If possible, please use t he special
Note
services of your council.
4 Handling
The gauge switches on automat ically when the probe is placed on the surface of the object
under test. It can al so be switched on by one of the keys of the keypad. If the probe is not
used for longer than about 30 seconds the gauge switches off again.
Place the probe evenl y on the object under test. On bent surfaces use the V-grooves
aligned parallel to the axis of curvatur e to insure that the probe is vertical ly placed to the
surface.
An error message wil l be di splayed when the probe is placed incorr ectly. For measurements
beyond the measuring range the gauge will display "Infi".
Do not take measurements on magnetized parts. Magnetic fi elds can influence the results.
Also electro-magnetic fields can influence the NFe-measurements.
: Please take batteri es out of the gauge when storing it over a longer period!
