3. Produto rematadoview
The GYS 059856 Paint Thickness Gauge features a compact design with an LCD display and intuitive controls.

Figura 1: Fronte view of the GYS 059856 Paint Thickness Gauge. The device is yellow with a black LCD screen at the top. Below the screen are three black buttons: 'MODE' on the left, 'UNIT' on the right, and 'ZERO' with a power symbol in the center bottom.
3.1 Compoñentes clave
- Pantalla LCD: Shows measurement readings, units, and mode indicators.
- Botón MODE: Used to switch between measurement modes (Single, Continuous, Differential).
- Botón UNIT: Used to switch between metric (µm) and imperial (mils) units.
- Botón CERO: Used for zero calibration and powering the device on/off.
- Measurement Probe: Located at the bottom of the device, used to contact the surface for measurement.
4. Configuración
4.1 Instalación da batería
Locate the battery compartment on the back of the device. Insert the required batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the battery compartment securely.
4.2 Acendido/Apagado
Manteña premido o CERO button to power on the device. To power off, press and hold the CERO button again. The device also features an automatic shut-off function to conserve battery life.
5. Instrucións de funcionamento
The GYS 059856 offers three measurement modes and supports both metric and imperial units.
5.1 Selecting Measurement Units
Preme o UNIDADE button to toggle between metric (µm) and imperial (mils) units.
5.2 Modos de medición
Preme o MODO button to cycle through the following measurement modes:
- Single Measurement Mode: Takes a single reading each time the probe is placed on the surface.
- Modo de medición continua: Continuously takes readings as the probe is moved across the surface.
- Differential Measurement Mode: Displays the difference between the current reading and a previously set reference value.
5.3 Tomar unha medida
- Ensure the surface to be measured is clean and free of debris.
- Select the desired measurement unit and mode.
- Place the measurement probe firmly and perpendicularly onto the coated metallic surface.
- Read the thickness value displayed on the LCD screen.
- Lift the device from the surface to prepare for the next measurement (in Single mode).
6. Calibración
Accurate measurements depend on proper calibration. The device supports three calibration functions:
6.1 Calibración cero
This calibration is performed on an uncoated, bare metallic surface to establish a zero reference point. Place the probe on a clean, uncoated metal surface and follow the on-screen instructions or refer to the device's specific calibration sequence (usually involving the CERO botón).
6.2 Calibración de dous puntos
This method uses two known thickness standards (e.g., a thin film and a thicker film) to calibrate the device across a range. This provides more accurate readings for varying thicknesses.
6.3 Easy Calibration
Refer to the device's specific instructions for "Easy Calibration," which may involve a simplified process for quick adjustments.
Note: Always calibrate the device before critical measurements or if you suspect inaccurate readings.
7. Mantemento
- Limpeza: Limpe o dispositivo cun pano suave e seco. Non empregue produtos de limpeza abrasivos nin disolventes.
- Almacenamento: Store the device in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries.
- Coidados da sonda: Keep the measurement probe clean and free from scratches or damage.
8 Solución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| O dispositivo non se acende. | Pilas baixas ou gastadas; polaridade incorrecta da pila. | Substitúa as baterías; comprobe a orientación das baterías. |
| Lecturas inexactas. | Device not calibrated; dirty probe; surface not clean; incorrect measurement mode. | Perform calibration; clean probe and surface; select appropriate measurement mode. |
| A pantalla mostra "OL" ou "Err". | Measurement range exceeded; sensor error. | Ensure measurement is within device's range; restart device. If error persists, contact support. |
