## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the gauge require calibration before use?**
A: For normal automotive paint inspection, calibration is not required. Factory calibrated and ready after installing batteries. Zero and multi-point calibration are optional for high-precision industrial coating control. Reset restores defaults.

**Q: What is the measuring range and resolution?**
A: CM-205FN measures from 0–1500 μm (0–59.1 mils) with 0.1 μm (0.01 mils) resolution. This range covers factory paint, repainting layers, and thicker coatings, helping detect repairs and uneven paint thickness.

**Q: Is it suitable for outdoor use?**
A: Yes. CM-205FN operates from –25 °C to +50 °C (–13 °F to +131 °F), suitable for garages and outdoor checks. Temperature compensation helps stable readings during changes. Keep the probe and surface clean for best accuracy.

**Q: Can this gauge measure plastic or carbon fiber parts?**
A: No. CM-205FN works only on metal substrates (Fe and NFe). It is not suitable for plastic bumpers, carbon fiber, or composite parts, because magnetic/eddy current coating thickness measurement requires a metal base.

**Q: Does it work on aluminum car panels?**
A: Yes. CM-205FN automatically detects Fe and NFe substrates and measures coating thickness on steel/iron and aluminum parts. This makes it ideal for modern cars with mixed body materials and fast inspections.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***J on 23 August 2024*

The reading results depend heavily upon how square you are to the surface. Will a small foot at the reading end, it's a challenge. Might be best set it on continuous mode and slightly tip it around to get the lowest reading. Same idea on convex/concave surfaces. The included calibration plates ensures confidence of the unit itself. I primarily use it for the delta(differences) readings rather than the absolute values.
