Only instruments complying with the requirements for safety extra
low voltage may be connected to the RS 232 interface.
In case an external power supply is used, please pay attention that
the nominal voltage of the power supply (see identification plate
English
on the power supply) corresponds to the mains voltage of the
mains socket.
Your instrument is cutt off from power supply by
a) taking out the battery or
b) in case of external power supply by pulling the power supply
out of the mains socket.
Please take care that the power supply is accessible at any time.

General Information3
The measurement unit consists of sensitive optical and electronic
precision parts. Provent it from being dropped or bumped or jostled!
Do not hold the unit by the measurement aperture. You should not allow
any foreign objects to get into this opening.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Do
not store it in a hot or dusty environment. The case that comes with the
unit offers the best protection when the unit is being stored.
Avoid prolonged high relative humidity and do not allow water to form
from condensation (see Technical data).
Protect the measuring unit from moisture, chemicals and corrosive
vapors.
Check the film thickness sensor at regular intervals. The sensor must
have direct contact with the test surface. Therefore, correct measurement
results can only be obtained with a clean measuring probe. Keep the
sensor free of any dirt.
The holder and the unit housing are resistant to many solvents. However,
we cannot guarantee resistance to all chemicals. You should therefore
use a soft, moist cloth for cleaning. For clean excessive dirt and dust, use
ethanol or cleaning alcohol. Do not use any acetone!
English
Please note that batteries are special refuse and shall not be disposed of
together with household refuse. Pay attention to the producers
instruction or how to dispse of the battery.

Control elements5
The basic system consists of the
measuring device and the
protective holder.
The protective holder is used for
calibration and to store the
measurement unit. Calibration is
performed inside the holder
automatically at the touch of a
button. The gloss standard
required for this purpose is kept in
the holder and is positioned in
such a manner that calibration is
always performed at the same
point.
When the device is turned on
inside the holder, it performs a selftest (autodiagnosis).
If you will not be using the
measuring unit, please store it in
the protective holder. In this way
the measurement optics are
protected from dirt and dust and
the calibration standard is always
readily available.
The operate button and scroll
wheel are used to control the
system. Pressing the wheel turns
the unit on and causes a menu to
be displayed. All settings within the
menus are made by turning and
pressing the wheel.
English
Pressing the operate button starts
measurements or performs
functions that are displayed. In
addition, you can return from the
various menus to mode with the
operate button. System operation
is supported by an autodiagnosis
test, comments and error
messages. Measurement values
and comments appear in the
display.
The measurement values appear in
the lower part of the display area.
The size of the numbers depends
on whether Statistics or Difference
measurement has been activated
and on the number of geometries
displayed. Depending on the
measurement mode, a header line
also appears for the measurement
values.
Navigation
All control functions are controlled
by the mode scroll wheel. Pressing
the wheel causes a menu to
appear in the display. Turning the
wheel allows you to move the
black mark to the desired function
and to select or activate it by
pressing the wheel.
What functions are displayed in the
menu depends on the settings in
the main menu. The main menu is
the “central” level and can always
be reached quickly.
Certain rules apply within the
menus to make it easier to
navigate:
A black triangle to the right of a
function indicates that selecting
this function will take you to a submenu.
A check mark on the right indicates
that the function in question has
been activated.
English

6Getting started
You can use the arrow at the top
right to switch the display back by
one level.
Arrows pointing up or down
English
indicate that there are other menu
options above or below the part of
the menu that is visible. To reach
these menu options, simply turn
the scroll wheel in the direction in
which the arrow is pointing.
You can quickly switch back from
the menus to the measurement
display by using the operate
button. In some cases this button
also has another function, but that
will be indicated in the display (for
example Confirm -> operate).
Change names/numbers
For some functions, you can enter
or change the date or name. The
arrow pointing upward marks the
position that can be changed. To
change the character, turn the
scroll wheel. When you press the
wheel, the arrow jumps to the next
character.
After you have adjusted the last
character or number, confirm your
input by pressing the wheel.
16
Getting started6
When you enter the name, the
arrow jumps to the first character.
This allows you to correct any
inadvertent incorrect entries. You
can confirm the name in these
menus at any time with the operate
key.

The following can be used together simultaneously:
You can select from among different types of measurement
recording and evaluation in the
Mode menu. The mode that is
activated is identified by a check
mark.
Single measurements can be
performed without statistical
evaluation in Sample mode.
The results can be saved and
compared with a reference.
When Save is turned on, a name
is suggested after every
measurement. You can confirm
this name directly or change it.
If you would like to delete the last
measurement, press the scroll
wheel and select the appropriate
menu item.
English
19
9Statistics
You can make multiple
measurements with each sample in
Statistics mode. These
measurements will be evaluated
statistically and displayed.
English
The results can be saved and
compared with a reference. These
functions must be previously
activated:
When Save is turned on, a name is
suggested after all measurements
of a sample (block). You can
confirm this name directly or
change it.
20
When the Statistics function is
turned on, additional functions are
available depending on the context
after you press the scroll wheel.
Statistics9
Note:
When STATISTICS is activated, all
film thickness values are stored in
the Memory independently of the
sonde used.
In the case of an incorrect
substrate or a high film thickness,
„Infi“ is written to the memory.
When the instrument is switched
off, the last setting remains active.
Number of measurements
You can adjust the number of
measurements per sample or per
block with this option, from 2 - 99.
You can find this value in the
measurement display by looking
for “n=” after the forward slash.
The number of measurements
(which increases by one each time
a measurement is performed)
appears before the slash.
English
21
9Statistics
Display
In the Statistics measurement
display, you can assign the
English
following data freely to three
columns:
Value:
Last value to be measured
Mean value:
Arithmetic meanof the sample
(block).
Maximum:
Highest measurement value of the
sample
Minimum:
Lowest measurement value of the
sample
Range:
The difference between the
maximum and minimum value.
22
Statistics9
Std. Dev.:
The standard deviation of the
sample
Difference*:
The difference between the sample
and a target value.
Pass/Fail*:
Pass is displayed if the sample
value falls within the specified
limits, or Fail if it falls outside.
Off:
Turns off the display of the
selected column.
* To be able to use these
functions, a reference must be
measured, created or selected. In
particular, a limit value must be
defined.
English
23
9Statistics
Exit block
This function terminates the block
before it reaches the required
English
number of measurements n. It is
useful if you have selected a high
number of measurements for n, for
example in the case of large
samples.
If Save is turned on, a display
appears to enter a block name for
the sample.
Delete block
This function deletes the current
block.
Delete measurement
24
This function deletes the last
measurement value.
Continuous10
You can use this function to perform
up to 99 measurements at an
adjustable measurement interval.
This is helpful when you are
covering large samples and you
want to evaluate the homogeneity
of the surface.
If you select this function, you will
first be asked to enter the time that
defines the interval. The longest
measurement interval possible is 9
seconds, the shortest 2. The interval
slightly increases when thickness
sensor is activated.
To start a continuous measurement,
press the operate button (a note in
the display also tells you this). If you
would like to exit the continuous
measurement, press mode.
To start the measurement, press
operate. The unit now performs
measurements up to 99 times at the
set interval. Measurement values
are shown in the display after each
measurement. You can interrupt the
continuous measurement by
pressing the operate button (hold it
down briefly). The number of
measurements, the mean value, the
minimum and the maximum appear
in the display. Press the operate
button to continue with the
continuous measurement. To end
the measurement, press mode.
English
25
11Basic mode
The selection options are limited to
the most essential in basic mode.
This also greatly simplifies
operation in this mode.
English
You can select geometry and
thickness sensor and perform
calibration. In addition, all functions
in the Setup menu item are
available.
Basic mode is useful if you want to
interrupt a series of measurements
and quickly perform some other
measurements in the middle
without leaving the series of
measurements.
Once these other measurements
are complete, you can use
to return to the point where you
interrupted the series of
measurements.
26
Geometry/Sensor12
In this menu, you can select the
geometry for the gloss measurement, just as the sensor for the film
thickness measurement.
Geometry selection:
Choose Gloss Geometry from the
Geometry/Sensor menu.
You can choose between the
representation of one, two or all
three geometries in the display.
The currently set angle
combination is indicated in the
Geometry menu by a check mark.
Select the desired combination
with the scroll wheel and then
confirm by pressing mode.
When Save is turned on, switching
the geometry automatically causes
the program to switch to the
appropriate predefined area of
memory.
English
27
12Geometry/Sensor
Sensor Selection:
The currently selected sensor is
indicated in the display by a check
mark.
English
Off
The film thickness sensor is
switched off.
Fe
Magnetic base metal (iron or steel)
NFe
Non-iron metal (e.g. aluminium)
Combi
When changing the substrate, the
sensor will be switched over
automatically
Choose the desired sensor with
the scroll wheel. Press mode to
confirm the desired selection.
The selected sensor is indicated in
the display.
Note:
The measurement unit can be
selected in m or mil for display
(see section Calibration: Scale
Thickness).
28
Geometry/Sensor12
Sensor-setting Combi
When switching the Thickness
setting to Combi, the measurement will be run through in the
sequence Fe - NFe.
As the measurement takes place
on a ferromagnetic substrate, the
procedure will be finished directly
after the Fe measurement.
With the measurement on a nonmagnetic substrate the sequence
will go through and therefore lasts
somewhat longer.
Note:
When STATISTICS is activated, all
film thickness values are stored in
the Memory independently of the
sonde used.
In the case of an incorrect
substrate or a high film thickness,
„Infi“ is written to the memory.
When the instrument is switched
off, the last setting remains active
