NM01FN3

The Defelsko PosiTector 6000 FN3 is a versatile and advanced coating thickness gauge designed to accurately and reliably measure the thickness of coatings on both ferrous (magnetic) and non-ferrous (non-magnetic) metal substrates. The "FN3" designation indicates a specific configuration within the PosiTector 6000 series, typically including an advanced gauge body and a universal FNF probe capable of measuring on both types of metals.

The PosiTector 6000 FN3 is a handheld, electronic coating thickness gauge renowned for its accuracy, durability, and comprehensive functionality. This advanced model is ideal for professionals in various industries who require precise and non-destructive measurement of coatings such as paint, powder coating, plating, anodizing, and more, applied to both steel and aluminum.

The "FN3" configuration typically comprises the PosiTector 6000 Advanced gauge body and an integrated or connected FNF (Ferrous/Non-Ferrous) probe. This universal probe utilizes both magnetic induction (for ferrous metals like steel) and eddy current (for non-ferrous metals like aluminum, copper, brass, etc.) principles to determine coating thickness automatically, without requiring the user to switch probes or settings based on the substrate material.

The Advanced gauge body offers a wide array of features and benefits, including:

• Large Memory: Storage capacity for thousands of readings with date and time stamps.

• Multiple Measurement Modes: Including continuous scan mode, average mode, and HiLo alarm settings.

• User-Adjustable Settings: Customizable options for measurement units (mils, µm), display resolution, and more.

• Statistical Analysis: On-screen display of statistics such as average, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, and number of readings.

• HiLo Alarms: Audible and visual alerts when measurements exceed user-defined limits.

• USB Data Output: Easy transfer of stored readings to a computer for analysis and reporting.

• Software Compatibility: Often works with software for data management and professional reporting.

• Backlit Display: For clear readings in various lighting conditions.

• Rugged and Environmental Sealed Housing: Designed to withstand harsh industrial environments.

The FNF probe ensures versatility by automatically switching measurement principles depending on the substrate:

• Magnetic Induction (F): Used for measuring non-magnetic coatings on ferrous metals (e.g., paint on steel).

• Eddy Current (N): Used for measuring non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous metals (e.g., paint on aluminum).

The PosiTector 6000 series is known for its ease of use, with intuitive menus and a straightforward calibration process. It is a crucial tool for quality control, inspection, and process control in industries such as painting and coating application, automotive, aerospace, and metal fabrication.

Key Features:

• Measures on Both Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals: Universal FNF probe eliminates the need for separate probes.

• Advanced Gauge Body: Offers extensive memory, multiple modes, statistics, and data output.

• High Accuracy and Repeatability: Provides reliable coating thickness measurements.

• User-Selectable Measurement Units and Resolution: Customizable to specific requirements.
