Bluetooth Transfer Overview
AC Power Cable for continuous operation or battery charging
This kit supplies several alternate power solutions for your battery-operated PosiTector. They allow the gage to operate continuously without the need for batteries.
Use the cable alone to connect a PosiTector to your PC's built-in USB port that acts as a continuous power source. Or connect the cable to the included power adaptor which plugs into any AC wall electrical outlet, 110 or 220V.
A selection of electrical plugs is included which are capable of dealing with most country’s outlets.
Probe Foot Ringsare ideal for use on thin, soft coatings
Protect coatings from unnecessary wear while using Scan or Fast mode to measure large objects
For use with all PosiTector 6000 'regular' and 'right-angle' separate probes FS,FRS, FTS, NS,NRS,FNS,FNRS
Pack includes 2 nylon foot rings, instruction card and clear plastic case
PosiTector Case
Convenient hard shell case for carrying a PosiTector gage body and multiple probes - including any of the PosiTector6000Coating Thickness probes, DPM Dew Point Meter probes, SPGSurface Profile probes, or UTG Ultrasonic Wall Thickness probes.
Case has compartments for Certificates of Calibration, instruction manuals and other accessories.
Protective Lens Shield
Pack of five thin plastic lens shields
Ideal for protecting the PosiTector display from paint overspray.
One lens shield is included with every PosiTector instrument
Certified Thickness Standards
Used to verify the accuracy and operation of coating thickness gages and are an important component in fulfilling both ISO/QS-9000 and in-house quality control requirements.
Contracts often specify that coating thickness measurements be taken by gages whose measurement accuracy is traceable to a National Metrology Institute such as NIST or PTB.

Certified Plastic Shims
Certified shims provide an economical alternative to Coated Metal Plates but have a reduced accuracy
Ideal for protecting the PosiTector display from paint overspray.
Shims are packaged in a protective pouch
Certificate of Calibration showing traceability to NIST is included with each shim or set of shims
Certified and labeled in both Metric and Imperial units
