5.2Troubleshooting Measurement Difficulties

If you experience measurement problems, review the fol- lowing troubleshooting steps:

Is the sensor window clean?

Clean the sensor window and reflective cup and repeat the measurement.

Is the target's surface non-metallic?

Coat metallic surfaces with a non-metallic finish and repeat the measurement.

Is the target's surface transparent?

Coat transparent surfaces with an opaque non-metallic fin- ish and repeat the measurement.

Alternatively, put a shiny metallic surface such as aluminum foil behind the transparent target and repeat the measure- ment.

Was the instrument's nosepiece in contact with the surface? Touch the nosepiece flush to the target's surface and repeat the measurement.

If after applying all of the above solutions, the instrument's accuracy is still in question, contact Omega for further help.
