Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Calibration typically involves using the provided zero plate and standard calibration foils. Navigate to the calibration menu, measure the uncoated zero plate, and then measure the standard foils, adjusting the readings on the gauge to perfectly match the known foil thickness. Always refer to your specific model's manual for step-by-step procedures.
Fe (Ferrous) probes use the magnetic induction method to measure non-magnetic coatings (like paint or zinc) on magnetic substrates like steel or iron. NFe (Non-Ferrous) probes use the eddy current method to measure non-conductive coatings on non-magnetic metals like aluminum, copper, or brass.
On most SaluTron models, you can switch between metric (µm/mm) and imperial (mils) units through the main menu under 'Measuring Unit' or 'Dimension', or by long-pressing the designated Power/Unit key until the unit display changes.
When the battery indicator flashes or displays 'BATT', the voltage is too low for reliable measurements. You should replace the alkaline batteries or recharge the Li-ion battery immediately to ensure measurement accuracy and prevent the device from automatically shutting down.
