QNix Right-Angle Probes
The QNix Right-Angle
Probes, for use with the QNix 7500, have been designed to measure in hard-to-reach areas that
other standard probes are unable to fit into. For example, the QNix Right-Angle
Probes will measure coatings over the inner diameter of a pipe, etc. Two options are
available and include a Rigid Right-Angle Probe as well as a Flexible Right-Angle
Probe. The sensor is attached to the end of a tube. This tube has a
diameter of .31". The Flexible Right-Angle Probe has a two axial suspension for
the probe making the handling very easy. This suspension automatically places the sensor
vertically on the measuring surface.

TOUCHSTONE 2 Coating Thickness Gauge
 TOUCHSTONE
2
coating thickness gauge uses
the magnetic properties of the substrate material to determine the coating thickness by
measuring the distance the sensor face is held off the steel by the coating.
The Hall effect sensor provided with the gauge can be used to measure a wide range of
non-magnetic coatings on ferrous substrates including paint, plastic, epoxy, stainless
steel, galvanized zinc, aluminum and tin.

Highly accurate hall effect sensor
Measures any non-ferrous coating
Measures up to 8mm of coatings
Simple calibration and operation

Measure any non-magnetic coating on a ferrous material. For use in Civil
Engineering, Petrochemical, Offshore, Automotive and other applications.

Accuracy: ± 10 microns up to 1mm then ±1% or better
Temperature range: +14ºF to +104ºF (-10ºC to +40ºC)
Units of Measurement: Switchable between microns and thousandths of an inch
Resolution: 0.001" (10 microns)
Display: 0.50" (12.5mm) high 31/2 LCD Display with micron/thou indicator.
Auto shut off: After 3 minutes inactivity
Low battery indicator
Battery life: 40 hours nominal with a size AA (PP3) alkaline battery

Weight: 5 1/4 oz. (150 grams)
The TOUCHSTONE 2 is suitable for use only on coatings applied to a ferrous
substrate and uses the magnetic properties of the substrate material to determine the
coating thickness i.e. the distance the sensor face is held off the steel by the coating.
KEYPAD CONTROLS
ON Powers
up the gauge and initiates a brief test sequence displaying all screen characters
MM / IN Toggles between metric and
imperial units of measurement. When imperial (English) units are selected a dash-appears
to the left of the digits displayed
SET UP This function calibrates
the sensor / gauge combination. It should only be performed when a replacement sensor is
connected to the gauge. To access this function hold down the Set Up key and press ON. The
sensor must be in contact with the 5mm steel block supplied. The gauge display will show
0.00 for approximately 5 seconds. The last digit will increment to a value less than 0.10
and then display 0.00. Set up is now complete. Follow the operations outlined below for
zero and cal Range
ZERO Performs local Zero to compensate for permeability changes. Zero
may also be used when measuring on substrates of different thickness. Place the sensor on
an un-coated area of steel. Wait for the display to settle to its lowest value and
press Zero.
CAL RANGE Used to calibrate the working range of the gauge using the shim
provided. Place the 5mm shim on an un-coated area of steel, (having first performed the
zero operation above). Place the sensor on the Aluminum shim Press Cal Range; this will
correct any inaccuracy due to change in substrate material or thickness.
