Instruction Manual v.2.1

Operation:

Be sure the surface to be measured is clean and free from oil and grease. Hold the

PosiPen

at a right angle to the surface to be measured. Place the tip of the

PosiPen

on the coated surface and allow the magnet to contact.

Pull the

PosiPen

straight back from the object while keeping close watch on the
appropriate indicator. Note the reading when the magnet releases. Repeat if
necessary.

Indicators:

The

PosiPen

compensates for gravity when measuring in different positions. When

possible, hold the Gage horizontal, as for wall measurements.

1. Use the red/silver joining line when the Gage is horizontal (walls).

2. Use the green line when the Gage is pointing straight down (green=ground).

3. Use the blue line when the Gage is pointing straight up (blue=sky).

Calibration:

The

PosiPen

is shipped with a Certificate of Calibration. To verify gage accuracy, use

only traceable coated thickness standards.

Care:

Always return the

PosiPen

to its pouch. Extend the magnet to remove debris with a

cloth or dry paint brush.
