REED R9700 Calibration

1. Open the cover plate and place 2-3 drops of distilled water onto the prism surface, close the cover plate, press lightly and ensure the water spreads evenly across the whole surface area without air bubbles or dry sections. (wait 30 seconds until the water adjusts to ambient temperature)

2. Hold towards light source and look into the eyepiece, if the boundary line between the upper blue field and the lower white field is not located exactly on the 0°C waterline, adjust the correcting screw until both lines meet.

3. Wipe the water from the prism with clean dry cloth and replace the rubber correcting screw cover.

NOTE: under normal operating conditions the calibration only needs to be checked periodically.

Warning

1. DO NOT IMMERSE IN OR CLEAN WITH RUNNING WATER

2. THIS TOOL IS A PRECISON OPTICAL INSTRUMENT, IT REQUIRES CAREFULL HANDLING and STORAGE

3. DO NOT DROP OR SUBJECT TO SHOCK AS DAMAGE MAY RESULT TO THE MIRROR TUBE and OPTICAL COMPONENTS

4. DO NOT SCRATCH OR ATTEMPT TO MEASURE CORROSIVE CHEMICALS AS DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE PRISM’S COATING

CAUTION – use extreme care when opening the radiator cap – do not remove while engine is running or the engine is warm. Do not let battery fluid come in contact with skin or eyes – personal injury may result

Measurement Procedures
Plug in the F-probe or NF-probe according to the measured body. Press the power key to switch on the power and ‘0’ shows up on the Display. The meter will auto-calibrate itself when you switch on the power supply and the gauge will recognize the probe type itself , with the symbol F or NF indicating on the Display. Select the measurement unit by pressing the soft key. Place the probe on a coating layer to be measured. The reading on the Display is the thickness of the coating layer. The reading can be corrected by pressing the plus key or minus key while the probe is away from the iron substrate or the measured body. To take the next measurement, just lift the probe to more than 1 centimeter and then repeat the step above. If you suspect the accuracy of measurement, you should calibrate before taking the measurement. The gauge can be switch off by pressing the Power key. On the other side, the gauge will power itself off 2 minutes after the last operation.

How to use Reed ST-156 Coating Thickness Gauge

Continuous Measuring Mode
In Continuous Mode, the probe is not lifted off the surface being measured. Readings are not accompanied by a beep. All readings taken in this mode are automatically entered into the statistics program as long as sufficient memory is available.

Single Measuring Mode
In Single Mode, the probe is lifted off the surface being measured and moved. Readings are accompanied by a beep. All readings taken in this mode are automatically entered into the statistics program as long as sufficient memory is available.

Probe Operating
The probe can work in three modes:
AUTO: The probe can automatically select the working mode. When placed on steel (magnetic substrates), it will work in magnetic induction principle. When placed on no-ferrous metals, it will work in eddy current principle.
Fe: The probe works in magnetic induction principle.
No-Fe: The probe works in eddy current principle.

Statistic View
While in the Menu, choose “Statistic View” to toggle between Average, Maximum, Minimum and Standard Deviation functions. Press the Red Bar Button to select the current Statistic View and to return to measurement mode. A corresponding symbol of the Statistic View will be displayed on the lower right of the LCD. At the same time, the statistic number of the measured readings will display on the lower left of the LCD. Via the “Statistic View” in the Menu, you can look through all statistic values for a current group.

Measurement View
In the Menu, choose “Measurement View” to look through all measurement readings for current group.

How to use Reed TM-8811 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

With the Reed TM-8811Ultrasonic Gauge turned on, select the correct unit of measure by pressing the mm/inch button. Place the Ultrasonic sensor on the material surface being measured. Select the correct Material selection code and verify the coupling is okay by verifying that the Coupling indicator symbol is on. The reading on the display is the measurement value. The reading will be held until a new measurement is taken or until the unit is turned off.

To select the Sound velocity code, simply continue pressing the Plus or Minus buttons until you see a 4-digit number in the display. The 4-digit number represents the last sound velocity measurement taken. When selecting this velocity, you can measure the thickness of the same material as the last.

Measuring Sound Velocity – Press the “VEL” button and the display will show the last velocity measurement.

Firstly, you have to activate the laser by pressing “the On/Measure” button. Now trigger the dsitance measurement by pressing the button again. The measured value will be displayed immediately.

Continuous (Tracking)/Max & Min Measurement
For example, the user can move from a wall to the required distance, while the actual distance can be read continuously. To activate this function press the Max/Min button until the indicator for continuous measurements appears on the display. Press it again or press the On/Measure button to stop the function. The function is terminated after 100 continuous measurements.

Addition/Subtraction
Press the “Plus button” to add the current measurement to the previous measurement. Press the “On/Measure” button to add the second measured value; the result will automatically display. Press the “Minus” button to subtract the current measurement from the previous measurement. Press the “On/Measure” button for the result to be shown in the summary line and the previous measurement will be shown in the second line. Press the “Clear” button for the last step to be cancelled. Press the “Max/Mi”n button to return to single distance measurement mode.

Area Measurement
With this Laser Distance Meter you can automatically calculate the area/surface and the results will be displayed in the summary line on the display. Press the “Area/Volume” button once to enter Area Measurement mode. Start making the first measurement ( for length) by pressing the “On/Measure” button. Press the On/Measure button again to take the second measurement (width). Now the instrument will calculate the area automatically and display the summary lint on the display.

Volume Measurement
Press the Area/Volume button twice to enter Area Measurement mode.
