PosiTector 6000 FNS3 | Advanced Coating Thickness Gage
High-Performance Inspection for Both Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Substrates
The PosiTector 6000 FNS3 combines the powerful "Advanced" gage body with the versatile FNS combination probe, providing a complete solution for measuring coating thickness on all metal substrates. Whether you are inspecting paint on steel (ferrous) or powder coating on aluminum (non-ferrous), the FNS3 automatically recognizes the substrate and takes an accurate measurement. The Advanced (Model 3) body expands your capabilities beyond simple spot checks, offering extensive data logging, live graphing, and wireless synchronization for professional reporting.
Advanced (Model 3) Gage Body Features
Enhanced Data Storage: Stores up to 250,000 readings in up to 1,000 batches and sub-batches.
Live Graphing: View real-time measurement charts on the high-contrast, reversible color LCD to instantly identify trends or inconsistencies in coating application.
SSP/PA2/PSPC Modes: Built-in prompts and automated calculations for international standards including SSPC-PA 2, ISO 19840, and IMO PSPC 90/10.
Wireless Connectivity: Features Bluetooth technology for data transfer to smartphones or tablets and WiFi for syncing with PosiSoft.net or downloading software updates.
On-Screen Statistics: Constantly displays Average, Standard Deviation, Min/Max thickness, and Number of Readings while measuring.
FNS Combination Probe Features
Dual-Technology Sensing: Utilizes magnetic principles for ferrous metals and eddy current principles for non-ferrous metals.
Automatic Substrate Recognition: No need to switch settings; the probe identifies the metal type instantly.
Constant Pressure Tip: Designed with a ruby-tipped, wear-resistant probe for consistent placement and a long service life.
Versatile Range: Ideal for measuring most coatings from $0$ to $60$ mils ($0$ to $1500$ µm).
