Gauge firmware updates (BST)
Using Elcometer’s free data management software, ElcoMaster 2.0,
users can receive prompts when there is a gauge firmware update
available for their model version.
When the Elcometer 456 is connected (via USB), to any computer
with an internet connection and with ElcoMaster 2.0 installed,
ElcoMaster 2.0 highlights the availability of a firmware update,
identifies to the user the new features and guides the user through the
gauge firmware update process.
Caution, before upgrading your gauge firmware, ensure that you have
downloaded all inspection readings from the gauge. For more
information regarding ElcoMaster 2.0 see page 30 Downloading
Data.
Bluetooth™ and USB Data output (BST)
Elcometer 456 gauges have the ability to transfer data via USB to a
computer or wirelessly via Bluetooth™ technology to PC’s, PDA’s or
mobile phones which are Bluetooth™ enabled using ElcoMaster 2.0
or the ElcoMaster Mobile Application respectively.

IMO PSPC ST International Maritime Organisation’s
Performance Standard for Protective Coatings
clearly defines the acceptance criteria for a
coating. The Elcometer 456 can be quickly set up
to display these parameters:
%>N ST The percentage of readings greater than or equal
to the Nominal Dry Film Thickness Value.
%90100 ST The percentage of readings between 0.9 x NDFT
and the NDFT.
90:10 ST Displays either pass (ü ) or fail (X)
To pass the IMO PSPC 90/10 rule:
At least 90% of all dry film thickness readings
shall be greater than or equal to the NDFT
value, and
none of the remaining measurements shall be
below 0.9 x NDFT
x! ST If all the measurements taken at any point are
greater than 0.9 x NDFT, but less than 90% of the
readings are greater than or equal to the NDFT,
were the inspection to stop, then the IMO PSPC
condition would be a fail. Statistically, however,
were more measurements to be taken which were
all greater than or equal to the NDFT, then there
would come a time when the IMO PSPC condition
returns to a pass. This is depicted by the “failing”
icon - x!
For more information on the IMO PSPC see page
About IMO PSPC on page 60.
ST Low Limit
ST High Limit
n ST Number of readings above the low limit
n
ST Number of readings below the high limit
User definable warning limits can be set. Once the
reading exceeds the limit the gauge notifies the
user by turning the reading and relevant limit icon
red, flashing the red LED, and sounding the alarm
beep. For more information see Limits on page 20.
www.elcometer.com 14
R
Once the appropriate time and date has been set (Menu/Setup/Time
and Date), the user can display the time and date at the top of the
Elcometer 456 display via Menu/Setup/Time and Date/Display
Time and Date.
The time format can be set to either the 12 hour or 24 hour clock via
Menu/Setup/Time and Date/Set Format/Set Time Format
The date format can be set to either dd/mm/yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy or
yyyy/mm/dd via Menu/Setup/Time and Date/Set Format/Set
Date Format
Please note that the time and date is replaced by the batch name
when the gauge is in Batch mode.
When a batch is created, re-opened (or when the gauge is switched
on whilst in batch mode) and when each reading is taken, the time and
date details are stored within the batch - allowing the user to have an
accurate record of when the measurements were taken. The time and
date stamp for each reading is displayed on ElcoMaster 2.0.
Daily and Interval Alarms (Daily: ST; Interval: T)
Programming the Elcometer 456 alarm allows the user to set a
reminder for coating inspection to be carried out. Whilst the daily
alarm provides the user with a single use alarm which will then re-
sound each day at the same time, the interval alarm allows the user to
set a time period between alarms (e.g. every 2 hours) - ideal for batch
inspection. Alarms can be set within Menu/Set Alarm.
Multiple calibration methods (EBST)
Calibration adjustment is the process of setting the gauge to known
values of thickness to ensure accuracy on different substrate types,
shapes and surface finishes and is often referred to as simply the
“calibration”.
The calibration of the gauge can be adjusted using several different
methods for use in accordance with National and International
Standards and the calibration adjustment method chosen depends on
the condition of the substrate to be measured.
15 www.elcometer.com
R
en
When using an FNF probe it must be calibrated in both the ferrous
mode and in the non-ferrous mode to ensure accuracy of reading.
When switching between the Scale 1 and Scale 2 functions of the
scale 2 probes (Menu/Setup/Probe) the Elcometer 456 should be re-
calibrated to ensure accuracy across the appropriate measurement
range.
www.elcometer.com 16
R
en
17 www.elcometer.com
R
en
In addition to the standard calibration methods described on pages
15-17, the Elcometer 456 has a four pre-defined calibration methods
which follow relevant standards.
These pre-defined calibration methods not only define the calibration
routine to be used, but also set up the data collection method, as
defined by the appropriate standard.
For this reason, pre-defined calibration methods can only be selected
whilst the gauge is in batching mode. For more information on
batching or data collection methods, see Batching on page 22.
For more information on how to calibrate the gauge, see Calibrating the
Elcometer 456 on page 47.
User-programmable calibration memories (T)
The Elcometer 456 Model T allows users to store into memory up to
three calibrations. Once a calibration memory has been saved, the
user can select the calibration memory - without the need to
re-calibrate the gauge.
Calibration memories are ideal for users who are inspecting coatings

en
Cal/Calibration Lock feature.
When the Calibration Lock is enabled, users can still test the
calibration via Cal/Test Calibration but will be unable to validate or
re-calibrate the gauge.
Gauge Memory (BST)
The Elcometer 456 versions are supplied with a varying level of
memory:
Model E: No memory
Model B: The Model B gauge’s ‘rolling statistics’ provides
accurate statistical values for all measurements
taken since the statistics were last cleared
(Stats/Clear Statistics). The last 5 readings,
however, can be displayed by pressing the Data
softkey.
Model S: 750 readings can be stored into the gauge’s memory
Model T: A total of 75,000 readings can be stored into the
gauge’s memory either in a single batch or in up to
999 batches (see Batching on page 22). Each batch
can be individually named and can have its own
unique calibration.
Limits (ST)
During the inspection process coatings can often have specified
minimum and/or maximum thickness values.
For example, coatings that have been applied too thinly over a
surface profile can lead to rust spots appearing on the peaks of the
profile. Similarly too thick a coating can also lead to premature coating
failures.
Users can program upper and/or lower warning limits into the
Elcometer 456 gauge by selecting Menu/Set Limits/Set Upper or
Menu/Set Limits/Set Lower.
To switch the limits on, the user should ensure that the Enable Limits
radio button is checked.

7 BATCHING (ST)
en
The Elcometer 456 gauges have two measurement modes:
Immediate mode (ST): Where readings are taken, rolling statistics
calculated (and displayed), but individual values are not stored in the
memory; and
Batching (ST): Where readings are stored into memory in batches.
Batches allow the user to collate readings for easier analysis of large
structures or complex assemblies. Elcometer 456 Model T gauges
can store a total of 75,000 readings in up to 999 batches, the Model S
has one batch of up to 750 readings. The Elcometer 456 has the
following batching functions:
Create a new batch (ST); Batch/New Batch
Open an existing batch (ST); Batch/Open Existing Batch
Rename an existing batch (T); Batch/Rename Batch
Copy a batch - including all calibration and limit setups (T);
Batch/Copy Batch
Clear all the readings within the batch - but leaving all calibration
and limit setups (ST); Batch/Clear Batch
Review the readings, statistics, calibration and batch information
(ST); Batch/Review Batch
Delete a Batch (ST), or all batches (T), entirely from the gauge;
Batch/Delete Batch
Delete the last reading entirely or delete the reading, but mark the

Batch Types (ST)
When saving readings into a batch you have a choice of how the
readings are managed within the gauge:
Normal: Each reading is saved into memory.
Press Batch/New Batch/Batch Type and then select Normal.
The batch type can only be changed when creating a new batch.
Counted Average: The average of a predefined number of
readings is saved into memory. For example a counted average of
3 means:
The average of [Reading 1 + Reading 2 + Reading 3] is stored
as the first measurement saved in the memory.
Likewise the average of readings 4 - 6 are stored as the second
measurement in the memory, etc.
The individual readings within the counted average (1.2.3,
4.5.6, etc.) are not saved.
Press Batch/New Batch/Batch Type and then select Counted
Average.
The batch type can only be changed when creating a new batch.
27 www.elcometer.com
R
The Elcometer 456 then asks the user to set the counted average
en
value. Using the up and down arrow softkeys, set the counted
average from 2 - 99 and press the Ok softkey.
This returns the user to the previous screen. Press the Back
softkey to continue setting up the new batch as required before
opening the new batch.
If Statistics are displayed whilst measuring using the counted
average function (CAF) when taking the readings used to calculate
the CAF measurement, the gauge will display the rolling statistical
calculations of the individual readings until all the readings that go
into calculating the CAF measurement are taken. At this point the
statistics then display the values of the stored CAF measurements.
IMO PSPC: If you are inspecting coating thickness according to the
International Maritime Organisations Performance Standard for
Protective Coating, selecting the IMO PSPC batch type and then
subsequently opening the batch, the gauge automatically:
• Asks the user to confirm the NDFT (nominal dry film thickness)
value
• Sets the statistics to display the relevant IMO PSPC values
• Identifies the batch as an IMO PSPC batch for further analysis in
the ElcoMaster 2.0 data management software
For more information on the IMO PSPC see page 60.
For more information on ElcoMaster 2.0 see page 30.
Fixed Batch Size (T)
When creating a new batch, by selecting Batch/New Batch and
checking the Fixed Batch Size radio button, users can pre-define the
number of readings that are to be stored into the batch using the up
and down arrow softkeys.
Once the batch has been opened and readings are being taken, the
Elcometer 456 will notify the user when the fixed batch size is
complete and ask if another batch is to be opened.
If the user selects No, then the gauge closes the batch and exits
batching - returning the gauge to the Immediate mode.
www.elcometer.com 28

Cal/Factory Calibration
The factory calibration returns the gauge to
the calibration set up during manufacture
and final test. The factory calibration is a
smooth surface calibration using factory
reference probes
When the correct calibration method has been
selected, press Cal/Calibrate and follow the on
screen instructions.
Taking multiple readings on each foil will
increase the accuracy of the calibration.
Note: Auto, ISO, SSPC PA2, Swedish and
Australian cal methods - where available -
can only be selected whilst in batching as
memory is required.
Testing (BST) & Validating (ST) Calibrations
The calibration of any Elcometer 456 B, S
or T gauge can be checked at any time,
without affecting any statistics or batch
memory.
By selecting Cal/Test Calibration the user
can check the calibration of the gauge by
comparing the reading value displayed
versus the measured foil or coated
standard value.
Pressing the Validate Softkey will update
the date and time of the last calibration.
Each batch can have its own unique calibration,
simply calibrate each batch independently.
