1.0 INTRODUCTION

DCF-3000EZ = For measurement on steel / iron
DCFN-3000EZ = For measurements on steel / iron and on

non-ferrous metals

The Check•Line 3000EZ Series of coating thickness gauges provide
accurate, non-destructive measurement of:

• All non-magnetic coatings, such as varnish, paint, enamel,

chromium, copper, zinc, etc. on steel and iron. Measurements
in the F mode (Ferrous) are carried out according to the
Magnetic-Induction method.

• All electrically insulating coatings, such as varnish, paint, enamel

on non-ferrous metals (aluminum, brass, stainless steel, etc).
Measurments in the N mode (Non-ferrous) are carried out
according to the Eddy-Current method.

NOTE: 3000EZ Series gauges operate in accordance with the
following international standards related to coating thickness
measurment:

Magnetic Induction

DIN EN ISO 2178, ASTM B499, DIN 50 982

Eddy-Current:

DIN EN ISO 2360, ASTM D1400

10.0 ERROR MESSAGES

Error 1 = The probe is too close to the metal

Error 2 = Error of gauge due to the effect of electro-magnetic

interference fields

Error 3 = The probe is defective
