ZX-5
Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
3
The
CAL
key is used to enter and exit the
ZX-5
's calibration mode. This mode is
used to adjust the sound velocity value that the
ZX-5
will use when calculating
thickness. The tool will either calculate the sound-velocity from a sample of the
material being measured, or allow a known velocity value to be entered directly. This
provides increased linearity between transducers. Refer to page 17 for an
explanation on the various calibration options.
2.4 GAIN Key
The
ZX-5
has an adjustable gain feature for additional versatility to control the overall
output of the gauge, to compensate for various materials and applications. There are
five gain settings
(VLOW, LOW, MED, HIGH, VHI)
. The gain range is 40dB – 52dB
in 3dB increments. Refer to page 28 for details regarding the gain feature.
2.5 SCAN Key
The
ZX-5
offers a high speed scan feature. This feature allows for scanning larger
areas on a given test material, while still offering reasonable representation of
thickness over the area scanned. Refer to page 29 for an explanation on the scan
feature.
2.6 +/- Increment/Decrement Key’s
The
+/-
Keys are used to increment/decrement values, navigate menus, and select
menu options.
2.7 MATL Key
The
MATL
Key is used to select a common basic material type from a short list of 9
materials and 2 programmable custom materials for calibration. Refer to page 17 for
an explanation on selecting a basic material type.
2.8 MENU Key
The
MENU
key is used to access and set all of the additional features of the
ZX-5
that are not at the top level of the keypad with a dedicated key. The features and
setting are outlined in the table below:
