Performing The Test - Elcometer 506 Bedienungsanleitung

5 ATTACHING THE GAUGE TO THE DOLLY (continued)
3 Rotate the crank handle clockwise to undertake the test - see Section 6 "Performing the Test"
on page 6 for details
When testing at height or on vertical surfaces, in order to prevent damage to the surrounding coating or harm to
the user, it may be necessary to use the Magnetic Anchor Clamp accessory, part number T50623797. This
connects to the lanyard ring on the top of the actuator to prevent the actuator from falling when the dolly is pulled
from the substrate.

6 PERFORMING THE TEST

6.1 USING 20mm OR 50mm DOLLIES - ANALOGUE PRESSURE GAUGE
1 Hold the gauge steady with one hand and turn the crank handle
clockwise slowly and evenly to apply an increasing force to the dolly
and hence stress to the coating
Note: The rate at which the force is applied (the speed of rotation of the crank
handle) should be in accordance with the relevant Standard.
Continue until either;
(a) the coating fails and the dolly is removed from the surface
(destructive testing) or;
(b) the minimum specified pressure value is reached
(non-destructive testing)
2 Record the pressure indicated by the position of the red drag indicator (a), using either the 20mm
or 50mm scale as appropriate and unwind the crank handle and coarse adjustment screw
Do not exceed the maximum pressure as overloading could damage the gauge.
