1.0 INTRODUCTION
Check•Line’s 3000FX Series gauges provide precise, non-destructive digital coating thickness measurement on steel and non-ferrous metals.
Three models are available: DCF-3000FX: For testing non-magnetic coatings such as varnish,
paint, enamel, chrome, copper, zinc, etc., on steel and iron. DCN-3000FX: For testing varnish, paint and anodizing on
non-ferrous metals and on austenitic stainless steels. DCFN-3000FX: Combines the ferrous and non-ferrous testing
capabilities of the DCF-3000FX and DCN-3000FX. 3000FX Series gauges employ the same familiar menu technique that
is used in cellular telephones. There are 4 main menu sections: Calibrations, Statistics, Limit
Values and Options. All gauge functions are accessed from one of these main sections. The steps to necessary to reach and activate a particular gauge function appear on the display in clear, easily under­stood language—place probe on Cal foil, for example. A confirming message appears on the display as each step is completed.
The Appendix provides a diagram of the menu structure.
It will be helpful to take a few minutes to study the Appendix while
practicing using the ▲, , OK and ESC keys to move through the menus selections. The 3000FS Series gauges are very easy to use. A few minutes spent familiarizing yourself with using the keys to move through the menus is all the training required.

3000FX gauges use two AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries. When battery power becomes low the Battery Indicator will flash. The gauge will continue to operate, but batteries should be replaced as soon as possible When battery power is depleted, the Battery Indicator remains on continuously, indicating that less than 60 seconds of power remain shut down.
Replacing batteries
1. Turn the gauge over. Slide the release switch down to unlock the battery compartment.
2. Carefully pull the battery compartment cover away from the gauge.
3. Insert new batteries, following the polarity diagram on the inside of the battery compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover by inserting the hooks at the bottom edge, then pushing the cover forward until it snaps into position.
5. Slide the release switch up to lock the cover in place.
NOTE: Battery exchange should be accomplished within 20 seconds to preserve saved measurement data.
7.0 DATA TRANSFER
For data transfer from a 3000FX series gauge to a PC you must not use a possible enclosed drive disc. For the infrared data transmission from the gauge to a printer or to a PC, the following three require­ments must be met:
1. The infrared adapter (accessory part) must be connected to the printer or PC. The infrared window of the gauge and of the adapter
must be parallel and face each other at a distance of approximately
12” to 20” (30cm to 50cm) for the data transmission.
2. The serial interface parameters of the PC and the printer must be set as follows:
Baud rate: 9600 Data bits: 8 Stop bit: 1 Parity: none Handshake non
3. A data transmission program must be installed for the data transmission to a PC.
General information regarding the infrared data transfer using 3000FX
It is of special importance with reference to the infrared data transfer that the transmitted light-induced pulses can be perfectly received and evaluated. The infrared adapter receiving the light-induced pulses must therefore be protected from any external interferences. For this reason, please observe the following:

Moreover, the zero offset setting is always indicated below in the display as a reminder.
This measuring mode is useful when determining the upper coating layer of a multi-layer system. If the lower layer(s) is (are) known and show an adequately uniform thickness, the coating thickness of this (these) layer(s) can be set as a negative offset value. The display then only shows the thickness of the top layer.
