Starting the Device and Performing a Measurement

Starting the device:
Please push the ON button ② for switching on the device. After a short delay which is caused by
an auto calibration process the display shows that the GoldScreenPen is ready to use (⑤).
Please be aware of removing metallic objects from the sensor tip while starting the device. The
advice ⑧ reminds you.
Performing a measurement:
Please hold the pen´s tip perpendicular to the surface of your testing object in order to achieve
accurate results (see Figure 2). Please do not push the tip too powerful on the surface or on
sharp-edged mintages because of potential damage or destruction of the tip´s spool. Using
gentle pressure like writing with a pen is totally sufficient. The device performs two
measurements per second giving the resulting conductance with an accuracy of one decimal ③.
Due to the measuring interval and the user-related change of the position of the tip during the
measurement the given conductance value will not remain constant.
After removing the tip from the surface the device will perform an intermediate calibration.
Therefore, we recommend waiting for few seconds in between two measurements in order to
enable the device to calibrate itself.
Important information:
The sensor tip is sensitive! Touching the object slightly with it is completely sufficient. Smashed sensor
tips are not covered within our warranty and respective reparations have to be paid by the customer.
