I.LS220 Automotive Paint Meter Introduction
Automotive paint meter, also called car paint meter, is a special instrument for detecting the automobile substrate surface coating thickness. The covering surface of a car basically has a paint coating. Using a automotive paint meter to measure the paint surface coating thickness can directly determine the sheet metal and spray paint of a car. It can also indirectly determine the damage degree of the car. The LS220 automotive paint meter has small size and is especially suitable for carrying around when going out for inspection. This car paint thickness gauge has the characteristics of fast test speed, stable test data, high measurement accuracy and so on.

3．This automotive paint meter uses an industrial-grade LCD screen, which can be used at minus 20 ° C. No worries for outdoor use in winter of Northern China.
4．No calibration is needed just simple zero adjustment to ensure the measurement accuracy.
5．Wear-proof ruby probe tip for long-term use with strong corrosion and abrasion resistance.
6．With temperature compensation function and digitalizing analog signal function, these sensors are unsusceptible to interference.
7．"Fe", "NFe", "Fe/NFe" three measurement modes can be set for the LS220 automotive paint meter.
8．Ultra-small size for carrying around when going out for car inspection.
9．Ultra-low power consumption, coupled with the design of automatic shutdown with no operation for 3 minutes to avoid frequent battery replacement and saves energy.

IX. FAQ about LS220 Automotive Paint Meter
-
1. The difference between LS220 and LS220B car paint meter?
The Bluetooth automotive paint meter LS220B has mobile phone APP. The instrument can be connected to the mobile phone APP through Bluetooth and record test data, while the conventional automotive paint meter LS220 has this function.
-
2. The difference between LS220 and LS230 car paint meter?
LS230 is an OLED automotive paint meter, which can be used in an environment of minus 40°C, with sensitive response and no lag; while the conventional automotive paint meter LS220 uses a liquid crystal display and the working temperature is -20°C to 60°C.
-
3. How to judge whether the car has been repainted or not?
At present, the paint thickness of different brands of cars on the market is not exactly the same. Therefore, when measuring the paint film thickness of a certain car, you can first measure the paint thickness on the car roof, because car roof is rarely affected by external forces and scratches, dents or deformation, it is more likely to retain the original paint thickness.
To test the specfic position of the car, you can take the upper, lower, left, right, and middle five points to test and calculate the average value of the five data. If the value of one point is greater than the average value of more than 30μm, this position may have been repainted.
-
4. Under what circumstances we need to make zero adjustment?
When the body material of the car under test changes; the instrument has not been used for a long time; when the ambient temperature changed significantly; after the battery is replaced.
-
5. Can I customize the LOGO and shell of the car paint meter?
Yes, but there is a minimum order quantity.
The minimum order quantity for customized LOGO: 100pcs; the minimum order quantity for customized instrument shell: 500pcs.
