All PosiTector 6000 Gages are available in your choice of Basic, Standard and Memory configurations.

Menu-driven user interface with multilingual support including: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Norwegian, Russian, Czech and Italian - Screen Captures

Rugged Features: The PosiTector 6000 was designed for use in harsh industrial environments. Now with an impact-resistant Lexan® display and shock-absorbing rubber holster the PosiTector 6000 is more rugged and durable than ever before.

Gauge Model Selection

Easy steps to select a gauge...

1. Select substrate
F - for ferrous metals (steel and cast iron)
N - for non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass, etc.)
FN - for all metal substrates - Gage automatically recognizes the substrate and takes a measurement

2. Select from a variety of measurement ranges and probe styles

3. Select Basic (1), Standard (2) or Memory (3) model

All gauges come complete with precision plastic shims, protective rubber holster with belt clip, 3 AAA batteries, instructions, wrist strap (built-in style only), nylon carrying case with shoulder strap, Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST, two (2) year warranty
