Calibration Of The Gauge; Performing Measurements - NEXDIAG NexPTG-Serie Bedienungsanweisung

3.2 CALIBRATION OF THE GAUGE

The gauge is calibrated at the factory. Calibration is performed after prolonged non-use of the gauge. Both
devices should communicate with each other via a wireless connection. Correct communication is signaled by
switching on the blue diode. We carry out calibration after starting the NexPTG gauge and application. The red
diode indicates that that the device is properly turned on.
Spread the calibration plates from the kit on a hard, stable and flat surface with color upwards (steel - blue and
1
aluminum - white, each 90μm). When calibrating the gauge, the plates should lie on a non-metallic surface, so
as not to disturb the calibration process and should be clean. Do not hold the plates in your hands during
calibration. The gauge should be pressed against the plates so that the probe adheres firmly with its entire
surface. The device must not stand on them loosely.
In the main menu of the NexPTG application, find the calibration icon
messages that appear. The calibration process consists of two steps:
1 To calibrate, apply the gauge to the supplied steel plate, colored blue.
NOTE: the gauge should be placed in the center of the calibration plate
2 Next, apply the gauge to the supplied aluminum plate, colored white.
NOTE: the gauge should be placed in the center of the calibration plate.
Its correct implementation should end with a text message with the text "Calibration completed successfully". A
correctly calibrated gauge should indicate 90 μm plates (accuracy according to the table).
If this is not the case, start the device and application again or contact the distributor.

3.3 PERFORMING MEASUREMENTS

FOR NEXPTG ECONOMIC,
Before starting measurement, make sure that:
 all radios are switched off (radio, CB radio). If there is a CB antenna on the vehicle – remove it from the
car for the duration of the measurement;
 there are no devices nearby that generate strong electromagnetic radiation and there is no close
presence of static electric charges, as they may cause erroneous measurements;
 no measurement is made in conditions such as: significant presence of dust, sediments, air bubbles,
high moisture, high humidity, rain, snow;
 the tested surface is clean.
The device is designed to test magnetic metal (steel, galvanized steel) and non-magnetic (aluminum)
of car bodywork. The types of surface tested are detected automatically. Attention should be paid to the correct
use of the device so that the probe does not slip or move from the test surface. It should be applied so that it
adheres firmly to the bodywork of the tested vehicle with all its diameter (20 mm) (see below).
