BSIDE T2X Digital Coating Thickness Gauge User Manual

1. Produktüberschreitungview

The BSIDE T2X Digital Coating Thickness Gauge is designed for non-destructive, fast, and precise measurement of coating thickness. It can measure non-magnetic coatings (e.g., aluminum, chrome, copper, enamel, rubber, paint) on magnetic substrates (steel, iron, magnetically charged alloys) and non-conductive coatings (e.g., enamel, rubber, paints, plastic anodized layers) on non-ferrous metals (aluminum, brass, zinc, tin).

This device is widely used in various applications including used vehicle inspection, electroplating, laboratory testing, metal processing, industrial painting, and shipbuilding. It is ideal for verifying paint quality and detecting defects on vehicles to determine if they have been factory-painted or repainted. It also assists in paint correction by ensuring uniform coating thickness.

4. Einrichtung und Erstgebrauch

4.1 Aufladen des Geräts

The BSIDE T2X comes with a built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. Before first use, or if the battery indicator shows low power, charge the device.

1. Connect the provided USB cable to the charging port on the device.
2. Verbinden Sie das andere Ende des USB-Kabels mit einem Standard-USB-Netzteil (nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten) oder einem USB-Anschluss Ihres Computers.
3. The charging indicator light will illuminate. Allow the device to charge fully.
4. Once fully charged, disconnect the USB cable. A full charge provides up to 10 hours of continuous operation.

4.2 Ein-/Ausschalten

• So schalten Sie das Gerät ein: Press and hold the red Power button (●) bis das Display aufleuchtet.
• So schalten Sie das Gerät aus: Press and hold the red Power button (●) until the display turns off. The device also features an automatic shutdown function to conserve battery.

4.3 Kalibrierung

Regular calibration ensures measurement accuracy. Perform zero calibration before each use or when measuring different types of substrates.

1. Stellen Sie sicher, dass das Gerät eingeschaltet ist.
2. Place the sensor firmly and vertically on the bare (uncoated) Fe (ferrous) calibration plate.
3. Drücken Sie die KALIBRIEREN ZER Drücken Sie die Taste. Das Display sollte „0.0“ oder einen Wert nahe Null anzeigen.
4. Repeat the process for the NFe (non-ferrous) calibration plate if you will be measuring non-ferrous substrates.
5. For more advanced calibration, use the provided calibration foils of known thicknesses on the respective calibration plates. Consult the on-screen prompts or the full manual for detailed steps.

5. Bedienungsanleitung

5.1 Messung durchführen

The device automatically detects the substrate type (Fe/NFe) and displays the coating thickness.

1. Stellen Sie sicher, dass das Gerät kalibriert ist.
2. Place the sensor vertically and firmly on the coated surface you wish to measure.
3. The device will automatically activate and display the measurement results on the screen.
4. Lift the device from the surface to prepare for the next measurement.
