In practice
Automatic Fe/NFe switching with the widest ferrous range in the line: 0–5000 μm on steel and 0–3000 μm on aluminium. Batteries are supplied, and 2000 readings stay in ten groups on the instrument.

01
Auto-switching
The gauge recognises ferrous and non-ferrous substrates and switches range; Fe reads 0–5000 μm, NFe 0–3000 μm.
On aluminium, only suitable non-conductive coatings apply.
02
Fe range 0–5000 μm
The widest ferrous range in the line reads thick protective builds on steel in one pass, with a 0.4 mm minimum substrate.
Stated accuracy is ±(3% of H + 2 μm).

μm · Fe measuring range
2000 readings in ten groups stay on the instrument, and three AAA cells come in the box; an 18 × 15 mm spot fits most surfaces.
Minimum substrate thickness 0.4 mm; readings are stored on the device, with no PC export claimed.
Where it stopsFerrous steel and suitable non-conductive coatings on aluminium only. Not for metal wall thickness. On aluminium, conductive coatings fall outside the eddy-current principle.

H is the measured thickness. 1 mil = 25.4 μm; converted range limits are approximate.
