FAQ
What types of metal can the EC‑280 measure?
The gauge automatically detects ferrous (steel, iron) and non‑ferrous (aluminum, galvanized) substrates using magnetic induction and eddy current technology.
How often should I calibrate the gauge?
For optimal accuracy, calibrate before each use or whenever you notice a shift in readings. The included calibration kit makes this quick and easy.
Is the battery replaceable?
Yes, the EC‑280 uses a standard AAA alkaline battery, which is included and can be replaced when depleted.
