Batteries

The EHCO Series Thickness Gages comes standard with a re-chargeable Li Ion battery located
on the back of the gage under the door with the screw. Fully charge your unit before using by
simply plugging in the USB cable to the top of the gage and to the AC wall unit. If you purchased
the non-rechargeable alkaline AA pack you will need to replace them by un-screwing the battery
door on the back of the gage. In the bottom right hand corner of the display is the current battery
life remaining percentage.

1. Powering ON/OFF

To power on the unit, press and hold the F1 key for more than three seconds. The LCD will briefly
display the company information and then the transducer selection screen will appear as shown
below. To turn off the unit, press and hold the F1 key for about three seconds.

Note: If the gage is set up for left hand operation, the F1 and F4 display prompts will be reversed.

2. Using Keypad Functions

Function keys, or F keys, (e.g., F1, F2, F3, F4) have various gage functions and may change
depending on the display screen. View the bottom of the display screen for the function that
corresponds with the appropriate F key. For example, F1 may correspond with the Save function,
F2 with the Freeze function, or F3 with the Directory function (Dir). Often times, the left or right
arrow keys can be used instead of the MENU/OK key to highlight a parameter or to view the
parameters from a selected choice.

3. Selecting Transducer and Performing Auto Zero

A new transducer can be selected from the Transducer selection screen, which appears after the
unit powers on. The Transducer selection screen can also be accessed from the Measurement
mode by pressing the F1 – Menu key. Use the up and down arrow keys to select the
Measurements option. Select the Xducer option and press the MENU/OK key to go to the
Transducer selection screen.
