6.2 Calibration
Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your gauge. Refer to the detailed calibration procedure in the full PosiTector 6000 manual for specific steps using the included precision plastic shims and uncoated ferrous metal substrate.
6.3 Sarudzo Yuniti
The PosiTector 6000 F1 can display measurements in mils (thou) or micrometers (um). Consult the gauge's menu system (typically accessed via the center button) to switch between these units as needed.
7. Kuchengeta
7.1 Kuchenesa
- Wipe the gauge body with a soft, dry cloth.
- For the probe tip, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol if necessary. Ensure no liquid enters the gauge.
- Usashandise abrasive cleaners kana solvents.
7.2 Kuchengeta
When not in use, store the PosiTector 6000 F1 in its protective carrying case in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.

| Dambudziko | Zvinogona Kukonzera | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gauge does not turn on. | Mabhatiri akafa kana kuti akaiswa zvisirizvo. | Tsiva mabhatiri nemabhatiri matsva eAAA, kuve nechokwadi chekuti polarity iripo. |
| Kurava kusina kururama. | Probe tip dirty; improper calibration; surface not flat. | Clean probe tip; perform calibration; ensure probe is flat on surface. |
| Display shows "---". | No contact with ferrous substrate; measurement out of range. | Ensure probe is on a ferrous metal; check if coating thickness exceeds gauge's range. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact DeFelsko customer support.
