DCN-3000PRO

DCN-3000PRO Coating Thickness Gauge

Measures Coatings On Non-Ferrous Metals Measuring Range: 0-60 mils (0-1500um) The new Check-Line 3000PRO coating thickness gauge is a multifunctional fully menu driven gauge for fast, professional and precise coating thickness measurement for paint and anodising coatings on non-ferrous metals and on austenitic stainless steels. The recording and further processing of stored measurement data are just as easy to carry out as the measurement itself. The file names can be alphanumerically assigned via an input panel and managed in a data memory.

 Features

Automatic identification of the substrate  Calibration-free measurements (calibration only in exceptional cases)  Mobile and stationary operation with only one gauge  Highly wear-resistant measuring poles made of carbide metal  Special probes for unusual measurement tasks  Precise measurements on different geometries thanks to simple calibration methods  Safe use even for special applications such as sand-blasted surfaces, small parts and curved surfaces  Scan mode for the quick recognition of coating thickness variations on large surfaces, including display of minimum and maximum readings  Display backlight for bad ambient lighting conditions

Online statistics with all statistical parameters  Easy to operate, well-known from mobile phones  Intuitive menu guidance via dialog with the user  Free choice of language – German, English, French  Extensive data memory for the management of different measurement series  Alphanumerical file names can be individually stored for every measurement task  Infrared interface for wireless data transfer to printer and PC  No additional data transfer software required thanks to the use of Windows® standard application (HyperTerminal)

 Complete Kit

The DCN-3000PRO is supplied as a complete that includes the gauge, probe, manufacturers calibration certificate, zero plate, 2 calibration foils, 2 AA batteries, soft pouch, instruction manual all in a rugged plastic carrying case.

 Specifications

Calibration methods:

- Factory calibration: no calibration required for standard applications - Zeroing (1-point calibration): measurements on small geometries - Zeroing and foil calibration (2-point calibration): increased measuring accuracy - Two-foil calibration: especially for rough, sand-blasted surfaces - CTC: calibration on coated object if zeroing is not possible - Zero offset: addition/subtraction of a constant value to/from the reading
