The LS239 Automotive Paint Meter is an advanced car paint/coating thickness gauge used to measure the thickness of paint and coatings on vehicle body panels. Itβs ideal for: Used car inspections (detect repainting or previous repairs) Body shop quality control Dealership vehicle assessments Car enthusiast or inspector use It works on both ferrous (steel) and non-ferrous (aluminium) substrates and can identify metallic putty/filler and galvanized layers, giving you insight into vehicle condition beyond what the eye can see. π₯ Key Features π Dual Modes: Simple & Expert Simple Mode: Quick, go-to paint measurements. Expert Mode: Designed for professional inspectors β lets you test 19 car components and store up to 999 vehicle records, with up to 6 measurements per component. π± Smart Bluetooth & Reporting Built-in Bluetooth lets you connect to a mobile app or WeChat mini-program to record measurements, generate inspection reports, and share them easily on your phone. π‘ Three-Color Backlight Feedback The backlight changes color based on measured thickness: White: Normal range Yellow: Slightly high/low range Red: Severe deviation, outside limits, or ferrous putty detected This makes results easy to interpret at a glance. β±οΈ Fast & Accurate Quick measurement: ~0.3 s per reading. Automatic substrate recognition: Detects steel, aluminium, galvanized iron, and non-metallic body parts. Custom alarm values can be set to trigger when measurements exceed thresholds you define. πΎ Large On-Device Storage In Simple Mode, stores ~60 readings; in Expert Mode, can store up to 999 vehicle datasets, giving ample room for professional workflows. πͺΆ Durable Probe The ruby probe tip is wear-resistant and ensures long-term accuracy. Advanced digital probe technology processes measurements directly at the probe, reducing interference and improving stability. π Continuous Measurement & Rotatable Display Continuous mode: Hold the probe and slide for sliding/continuous readings β showing max/min values in simple mode. Rotatable screen: In Simple Mode, the display rotation can be switched for easier viewing in tight spaces. π Technical Specifications Feature Specification Probe tip Ruby (wear-resistant) Measuring principle Fe: Hall effect / Al: Eddy current Probe type Integrated Measuring range 0.0 β 5000 Β΅m Resolution 0.1 Β΅m / 1 Β΅m / 10 Β΅m Accuracy β€Β±(3 %H + 2 Β΅m) (0β3000 Β΅m) β€Β±(5 %H + 2 Β΅m) (3000β5000 Β΅m) Display 192Γ64 dot-matrix LCD Measuring interval ~0.5 s Min. measuring area Γ 25 mm Min. curvature Convex: 5 mm / Concave: 25 mm Min. substrate thickness Fe: 0.2 mm / Al: 0.05 mm Battery Rechargeable lithium 3.7 V @ 1200 mAh Operating temp. β20 Β°C β 50 Β°C Storage temp. β20 Β°C β 60 Β°C Weight ~88.8 g Dimensions 108 Γ 70 Γ 31 mm Connectivity Bluetooth π§ Typical Uses Used Car Buyers & Inspectors: Compare paint thickness across panels to spot inconsistencies. Detect putty or filler indicating previous body repairs. Body Shops & Detailers: Validate even application of paint and coatings. Record and document thickness readings for quality assurance. Dealers & Auctions: Produce professional reports for vehicle condition transparency. π¦ Whatβs Included LS239 Paint Thickness Gauge Fe & Al zero adjustment plates Standard test film USB rechargeable cable User manual & warranty card (contents may vary by seller) π Summary The Linshang LS239 Automotive Paint Meter is a feature-rich, fast, and accurate car paint thickness gauge with simple and expert modes, Bluetooth reporting, large storage capacity, and smart substrate/putty detection β making it well-suited for professional inspectors, used car evaluators, and body shop quality control workflows
