Germany Phoenix Surfix and Pocket-Surfix Statistical Manual

brief introduction

The coating Thickness Gauge Surfix®/Pocket-Surfix® is designed and tested according to DIN EN 61 010 Part 1 (safety requirements for electronic measurement, control and laboratory equipment) issued in March 1994, and all technical indicators are guaranteed at the factory Safe and reliable.

The instrument complies with the following standards for coating thickness measurement:

Principle of electromagnetic induction: DIN EN ISO 2178, DIN 50 981, DIN 50 982

Eddy current principle: DIN ISO 2360

About this manual

Menu technology has been widely used in the mobile phone industry, but this is the first time it has been applied to a coating Thickness Gauge.

This manual will guide you step by step on how to operate the Surfix® Thickness Gauge correctly. Following these steps, you can master how to do it in a few minutes.

typical application

The Surfix®/Pocket-Surfix® non-destructive coating Thickness Gauge can be used for:

l All non-magnetically conductive coatings on steel substrates, such as paint, paint, ceramics, galvanized, chrome-plated, copper-plated, etc. (electromagnetic induction principle, ie Type F) and/or

l All insulating coatings on non-ferrous metals and austenitic steel substrates, such as coatings, paints, oxide layers, etc. (eddy current principle, that is, N type).

Surfix®/Pocket-Surfix® is available in three models:

FN: Dual-purpose type, can be measured on steel and non-ferrous metal substrates.

F: Can be measured on steel substrates.

N: Can be measured on non-ferrous metal substrates.

Preparation before measurement

Surfix®/Pocket-Surfix® uses two 1.5V alkaline dry batteries (No. 5/No. 7). When the voltage is insufficient, the battery mark will flash on the screen.

Note: Please be careful not to install the reverse polarity when installing a new battery, please replace the battery within 20 seconds

Otherwise, the calibration and measurement data stored by the instrument will be lost.

Use the ⊙ key to turn the instrument on and off. If the instrument is in the automatic shutdown mode, the instrument will

Automatic shutdown after 1.5 minutes of operation or measurement.

After installing or replacing the battery, the instrument will automatically turn on and ask for the language setting, please use the ▲MENU▼up and down keys to select the language and press the OK key to confirm

menu structure

The menu itself is directional. From the menu, you can operate the instrument like most mobile phones. To activate a function, all you have to do is quickly find the main menu and submenu to which the function belongs and enter this menu. The main menu includes 4 major items: calibration function, statistics function, measurement mode and options. All other functions and projects are assigned to these four categories.

The steps to be taken are displayed on the screen, eg "Place probe on the Cal foil". After the steps are completed, the instrument will give a confirmation, such as "Calibration is complete (calibration has been completed)".

Proceed as follows:

1. Turn off the instrument.

2. Press and hold the up key of the up and down keys, then

3. Press the switch to turn it on, press and hold the two buttons and the screen will display all strokes.

Measurement

The Surfix® F instrument measures on steel substrates and displays Ferr (steel) on the screen.

Surfix® N-type instrument can be measured on copper and aluminum substrates, and the screen displays Non-Ferr (non-ferrous metals).

Surfix® FN型仪器在两种基体上均可进行测量,出厂时设置为Automatic FN recognition(自动识别FN),屏幕显示Auto FN。

在Auto FN的模式下,当探头放在被测物上时,仪器会自动识别基体金属为钢铁或铜铝,并自动激活相应的测量原理,即电磁感应(F)或电涡流(N)。

但是在某些情况下,比如钢铁上涂清漆或镀锌,建议预先选定一种测量原理。如果在钢铁上测量,请选择F(Ferr);而在铜铝上则使用N(Non-Ferr)。

步骤如下,也可参考菜单结构:

按上下键直至显示Measuring mode(测量模式)。

按OK键,屏幕上显示Auto FN identification(自动识别FN)。

连续按上下键,直至屏幕上显示所需的Ferrous(F),Non-Ferrous(N)或是Auto FN 。

按OK键,确认所选的测量模式,屏幕上显示AUTO FN ,Ferr或Non-Ferr。

error message

If the instrument fails or operates abnormally, an error message will be displayed:

Batteries are empty:

The battery pack must be replaced with a new one, pay attention to the polarity when installing. Please complete the replacement process within 20 seconds to avoid losing various stored data.

Probe is too close to metal (the probe is too close to metal):

The probe is too close to the metal when starting up. Please hold the probe in the air and turn it on again.

Magnetic interference fields

The probe is too close to a strong magnetic field (such as a transformer, a PC display, etc.). Please keep the probe away from strong magnetic field.

Probe defective

If this message appears, please send the instrument back to the supplier or manufacturer for repair.

other error messages

1. If the instrument is no longer measuring or the measured value is abnormal, a total reset of the instrument can be performed.

2. If there is no response to the keys, please remove the battery for 20 seconds, then reinstall the battery and perform a general reset of the instrument.
