• Certificate of Calibration showing traceability to NIST included
• Conforms to national and international standards including ISO and ASTM

  Versatile

• Internal Memory stores datasets with the simple touch of a button
• Auto Log Mode  automatically records 5 parameters at user selected time intervals. Ideal for unattended operation.
• Field calibratable
• Celsius/Fahrenheit switchable
• Selectable display languages
• Hi Contrast backlit display for bright or dark environments
• Flip display enables right-side-up viewing
• Uses alkaline or rechargeable batteries (built-in charger)

  Powerful

• Gage body universally accepts all PosiTector DPM (environmental), 6000 (coating thickness) and SPG (surface profile) probes View Video 
• Hold function freezes the display allowing measurements to be manually recorded
• USB port for fast, simple connection to a PC and to supply continuous power. USB cable included
• Software updates via web keep your gage current
• Multiple measurement download/transfer options:
  • USB mass storage - stored readings and graphs can be accessed using universal PC/ Mac web browsers or file explorers. No software required
  • PosiTector.net  - a free web-based application offering secure storage of thickness readings
  • PosiSoft Software Compatible - Continue using the familiar legacy software you have used for years. Available as a free download.
• Every stored measurement is date and time stamped

The PosiTector DPM consists of a body (Standard or Advanced) and a probe (built-in or separate).

Step 1: Select a body (Standard or Advanced features)

Standard and Advanced - Feature Comparison		Standard (1)	Advanced (3)
All features shown on At a Glance tab
Accepts all PosiTector DPM (environmental), 6000 (coating thickness) and SPG (surface profile) probes.
Hi Contrast LCD Display		Monochrome	Color
Dataset Storage Capacity (1 dataset = RH, Ta, Ts, Td, Ts–Td) Stored readings can be viewed or downloaded		2,500 in one group	20,000 in up to 1000 groups
Auto Log Mode automatically records all 5 parameters at user selected time intervals. Runs unattended on batteries or continuously via USB. Unattended battery life (using 3 AAA alkaline batteries)
		up to 50 hours	up to 8 months
Stream datasets via USB or Bluetooth wireless at specified Auto Log intervals. Ideal for remote monitoring.
Trend Charts graph readings in real-time
User defined limits for all parameters with visible and audible warnings
AutoLog Mode automatically records all 5 parameters at user selected time intervals. Runs unattended on batteries or continuously via USB.
	Bluetooth Wireless Technology  for data transfer to a PC or optional portable printer
Onscreen help, real time graphing, picture prompting and batch notes

Step 2: Select Probe Style (Built-in or Separate)

Built-in Probe

• Includes built-in air temperature/humidity sensor and thermocouple surface temperature sensor

Separate Probe

• Includes built-in air temperature/humidity sensor and K-type connector
• Magnetic surface temperature sensor with armored cable and locking device to prevent accidental disconnection from the instrument during unattended operation
• Includes magnetic tab to attach the gage body onto steel structures
• Easily converts to accept other optional K-type probes including:

A) Hand-held Surface Temperature Probe – for spot checking hard-to-reach surfaces

B) Self-adhering Surface Temperature Probe – sticks to solid materials including aluminum, wood, concrete, etc. Ideal for unattended monitoring.

C) Liquid Temperature Probe – general purpose probe with stainless steel shaft

Conforms to: ISO 8502-4 , BS 7079-B4, ASTM D3276-05 , and SSPC-PA7
