Understanding your GX-CT01

Are you having problem with your GX-CT01? Does your unit displays inaccurate readings or does it  show 0.00 every time you make measurements? Here are some tips on how to resolve your problem without any hassle on contacting your seller.

If your unit is giving inaccurate readings and every time you measure the unit is giving different measurement at the same spot. Well you must remember that error has factors to consider, 2 of the major factors are machine error and human error. Let's discuss further in this blog what does it mean.

The unit is giving different readings because, in every press you make, you're exerting different pressure on the item, does caused to give different reading, you also need to consider the accuracy range of the unit 2%RDG±0.02mm, if it is within the accuracy range then your item is working just fine. If the unit is giving way more different reading than the correct measurement, I think your unit needs a zero calibration. Just follow the calibration process I indicated below, you must remember to clean the sensor of the item first with soft cloth to ensure the accuracy of the item. Also, make sure that the unit of measurement corresponds to the material you're going to test ("NFe" for non-iron and "Fe" for iron base). First test the unit to the iron and non iron base included in the set.

Zero Calibration Process:
1. Change the battery of the item with brand new. The low voltage battery can cause inaccuracy to measurement. And turn on the unit.
2. Press to the corresponding base you're going to calibrate with.
3. Long press the zero calibration button, then release the button when the screen displays CAL. Don't leave the base not until the unit displays 0.00.
4. Once 0.00 displays, it means the unit is successfully calibrated. After calibrating the unit to both bases, you may try to test the unit.


Your unit is always displaying and giving a measurement of 0.00 to each and every measurement you make? Don't think that the item is defective, perhaps, it is only because the value of the material you're measuring has a lower value than of the base included in the set. If the unit keeps displaying 0.00, you may try to calibrate the meter on a different material which doesn't have coating.

For example, the value of the car you will test is 4 microns. Then you may calibrate the meter with a non coating material with a value of 4 microns. After calibration please test the unit.


If after following all my suggestion to this page and the problem wasn't resolved, I suggest that you contact your seller for further assistance. Does this page answer your questions?
