Manual do Usuário do Medidor de Espessura de Revestimento VOLTCRAFT SDM-115

1. Introdução

The VOLTCRAFT SDM-115 Coating Thickness Gauge is designed to quickly and accurately measure the coating thickness on metallic surfaces. This device helps determine if a painted or repaired surface requires repainting or further repair. It is suitable for use on both ferromagnetic (e.g., steel) and non-ferromagnetic (e.g., aluminum) metals, offering a measurement range of 0-1000 µm.

2. Informações de segurança

Leia e compreenda todas as instruções de segurança antes de utilizar o dispositivo. O não cumprimento destas instruções pode resultar em ferimentos ou danos ao dispositivo.

• Mantenha o dispositivo longe de água e umidade.
• Não tente abrir ou modificar o dispositivo. Encaminhe todos os serviços de manutenção a pessoal qualificado.
• Use only the specified battery type. Ensure correct polarity when installing batteries.
• Evite expor o dispositivo a temperaturas extremas ou luz solar direta.
• Mantenha fora do alcance de crianças.

4. Configuração

4.1 Instalação da bateria

The VOLTCRAFT SDM-115 requires batteries for operation (not included). To install batteries:

1. Locate the battery compartment cover, typically on the handle of the device.
2. Deslize ou desencaixe a tampa para abrir o compartimento.
3. Insira as pilhas necessárias, certificando-se da polaridade correta (+/-) indicada dentro do compartimento.
4. Feche bem a tampa do compartimento da bateria.

5. Instruções de operação

5.1 Ligar/Desligar

Press and hold the trigger or power button (if available) to turn the device on. The display will illuminate. To turn off, press and hold the same button or wait for automatic shutdown.

5.2 Fazendo uma medição

To take an accurate coating thickness measurement:

1. Ensure the measurement surface is clean, dry, and free of debris.
2. Place the sensor head of the gauge firmly and perpendicularly onto the surface to be measured.
3. The device will automatically display the coating thickness reading on the screen.
4. Lift the device from the surface to prepare for the next measurement.

5.3 Alterando as Unidades de Medição

The device supports measurement in both mils and micrometers (µm). To switch between units, press the button labeled mils/µm no painel de controle.

6. Calibração

For optimal accuracy, especially when measuring different materials or after prolonged use, two-point calibration is recommended. The device features a CAL button for initiating the calibration process.

While the exact steps for two-point calibration may vary, generally it involves:

1. Placing the gauge on a known zero-thickness surface (e.g., bare metal).
2. Pressionando o CAL button and following on-screen prompts to set the zero point.
3. Placing the gauge on a surface with a known standard thickness (e.g., a calibration foil).
4. Pressionando o CAL button again and using the arrow buttons to adjust the reading to match the known standard thickness.
5. Confirming the calibration.

Refer to the detailed instructions provided with your specific calibration foils or the full product manual for precise calibration procedures.

7. Manutenção

7.1 Limpeza

Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the sensor head is kept clean and free of dust or residue for accurate readings.

7.2 Armazenamento

Guarde o dispositivo em local fresco e seco, longe da luz solar direta e de temperaturas extremas. Se for armazená-lo por um longo período, remova as baterias para evitar vazamentos.

8. Solução De Problemas

• O dispositivo não liga: Verifique a instalação das baterias e certifique-se de que não estejam descarregadas. Substitua as baterias, se necessário.
• Leituras imprecisas ou inconsistentes:
  • Ensure the sensor head is clean and free of debris.
  • Perform a two-point calibration as described in Section 6.
  • Verify the measurement surface is clean, dry, and flat.
  • Ensure the device is placed perpendicularly and firmly on the surface.
• Device beeps excessively or shows unusually high values: This often indicates a need for calibration. Follow the calibration steps in Section 6 carefully. Ensure you are using appropriate calibration standards.
