3000FX SERIES

Hand-held coating thickness gauges

3 Models: DCF-3000FX – Ferrous Only

                  DCN-3000FX – Non-Ferrous Only

                  DCFN-3000FX – Combination Ferrous & Non-Ferrous

Measuring Range: 0-60.0 mils (0-1500 µm)

Live Statistics Displays: Up to 10,000 readings can be statistically evaluated – Number of readings, mean value,

standard deviation, maximum and minimum reading

The Check-Line 3000FX Series is a compact, lightweight, multifunctional fully menu driven coating thickness gauge

for fast, precise, non-destructive coating thickness measurement for varnish, paint and electroplated coatings on

iron/steel and varnish, paint and anodizing coatings on non-ferrous metals and on austenitic stainless steels.

All external probes are machined to ultra-high standards and utilize a unique, hard-metal probe tip which prevents

probe wear.

A V-notched footer provides a stable footing on small cylindrical parts. It can be removed to expose a “micro-probe”

sensor perfect to measure on small surfaces and parts.

Features

         Innovative and user-friendly measuring techniques.

         Data transfer to printer or PC via an infra-red interface.

         The 3000FX Series identifies the substrate and activates the appropriate measuring procedure.

         Menu in a choice of three languages ensures easy operation.

         The uniform contact pressure of the sensor is minimized, preventing scratches and indentations to sensitive surfaces.

         Optional high temperature footer for measuring on surfaces up to 302^ðF (150^ðC).

         NIST Certificate Included at no additional cost.

         1 Year Warranty.
