Warranty
The Sonic 1200S/HR has been designed and manufactured as a high quality instrument.
Inspect the unit thoroughly upon receipt for evidence of external or internal damage that may
have occurred during shipment. Notify the carrier making the delivery immediately of any
damage, since the carrier is normally liable for damage in shipment. Preserve packing
materials, waybills, and other shipping documentation in order to establish damage claims.
After notifying the carrier, contact Olympus NDTTM so that we may assist in the damage
claims, and provide replacement equipment, if necessary.
Olympus NDT guarantees the Sonic 1200S/HR to be free from defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of one year (twelve months) from date of shipment. This warranty
only covers equipment that has been used in a proper manner as described in this instruction
manual and has not been subjected to excessive abuse, attempted unauthorized repair, or
modification. DURING THIS WARRANTY PERIOD, Olympus NDT LIABILITY IS
STRICTLY LIMITED TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF A DEFECTIVE UNIT AT ITS
OPTION. Olympus NDT does not warrant the Sonic 1200S/HR to be suitable of intended use,
or fitness for any particular application or purpose. Olympus NDT accepts no liability for
consequential or incidental damages including damage to property and/or personal injury. In
addition to our standard one year warranty, Olympus NDT also offers an optional two year
warranty (call for further details).
This warranty does not include transducers, transducer cables, or battery. The customer will
pay shipping expense to the Olympus NDT plant for warranty repair; Olympus NDT will pay
for the return of the repaired equipment. (For instruments not under warranty, the customer
will pay shipping expenses both ways.)
In this manual, we have attempted to teach the proper operation of the Sonic 1200S/HR
consistent with accepted flaw detection techniques. We believe the procedures and examples
given are accurate. However, the information contained herein is intended solely as a teaching
aid and should not be used in any particular application without independent testing and/or
verification by the operator or the supervisor. Such independent verification of procedures
iv Warranty
become more important as the criticality of the application increases.
For these reasons, we make no warranty, expressed or implied, that the techniques, examples,
or procedures described herein are consistent with industry standards nor that they will meet
the requirements of any particular application. Olympus NDT expressly disclaims all implied
warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any particular application.
Olympus NDT reserves the right to modify all products without incurring the responsibility for
modifying previously manufactured products. Olympus NDT does not assume any liability for
the results of particular installations, as these circumstances are not within our control.

Introduction to PowerLink™
The PowerLink™ feature enables the Sonic®1200S/HR instrument to recognize a Olympus
NDT PowerLink transducer type and provides the capability to modify selected instrument
parameters for program storage and recall. PowerLink has a separate screen with a sign-on
2 Chapter 1
message and menu structure (as shown).
Each PowerLink transducer is programmed at the factory to identify itself by model,
frequency, serial number and type. The operator may select the factory default setup for each
transducer type in the event that an instrument setup has not been associated with that
transducer.
The stored program feature is tied into the program store and recall features of the instrument.
This makes stored programs associated with transducers look the same to the operator as other
stored programs.
Before any stored transducer programs can be recalled, a Olympus NDT transducer must be
connected to the instrument and identified. Multiple programs are associated with each
transducer and the operator is allowed to select from the programs stored.
When a transducer linked through PowerLink is removed and replaced with
another transducer, the Sonic®1200S/HR instrument MUST be recalibrated, or the
new transducer relinked before testing.
