Operating Instructions

1. Insert the ultrasonic sensor into the probe sockets on the meter.

2. Press, hold an release the button for 2 seconds to turn the meter

on. Press the button to turn the meter off.

3. TheLCDwillbrieydisplayinformationaboutthemeter,andthen

Setting Ultrasonic Sensor Frequency

1. Press the button to highlight the ultrasonic sensor frequency

setting on the display.

2. Continuously press the buttontotogglebetween2MHz,5MHz,

7MHz,10MHzandZWfrequencies.

3. To exit, press the button or by carrying out a measurement.

Zero Calibration

1. After setting the correct ultrasonic sensor frequency, set the sound

velocityto5900m/s(seeAdjusting the Sound Velocityfordetails).

2. Selecttheproperreceivinggain(seeSystem Setupfordetails).

3. Coatthe4mmcalibrationtestblockwithcouplinggel(R7950)and

coupling indicator " "appearsontheLCDdisplay.

4. OncethecouplingindicatorappearsontheLCDdisplaypressthe

button to initiate zero calibration.

5. The meter will beep and then the screen will indicate that the calibration

is complete.

6. If zero calibration is not properly completed the meter will retain the

original value.

7. To delete the calibration data, see Memory Manager section for details.

Adjusting the Sound Velocity

1. While the meter is on, press the button and the meter will

display the current sound velocity.

2. Press the button to switch between the 5 pre-loaded sound

velocities, or press the and buttons to match the sound

velocity of the material under test as shown in the following table.

Preparing the Measurement Surface

1. Cleananydust,dirtorrustofftheobject,andremoveanycoating

such as paint.

2. Smooththesurfaceoftheobjectbygrindingorpolishingit.Youcan

also use a coupling gel with a high viscosity.

Important Note: In any ultrasonic measurement scenario, the shape and

roughness of the desired test material are of great importance. Rough,

uneven surfaces will prevent the ultrasonic sensor from seating properly

against the surface, thus limiting the penetration of ultrasound through the

material, resulting in unstable and therefore, unreliable measurements.

Taking Thickness Measurements

1. Setthesoundvelocityonthemeter(seeAdjusting the Sound

Velocityfordetails).

2. Apply coupling gel on the material, place the sensor rmly against

the desired measurement area.

Note: For most applications a single droplet of coupling gel is sufcient.

3. Verify that the coupling Indicator " "appearsontheLCDdisplay.

4. ReadthemeasurementontheLCDdisplay.

5. When you remove the ultrasonic sensor the value will stay on the

LCDandthecouplingindicator" " will disappear.

6. Press the button to save the measurement if applicable.

7. If the coupling indicator " " does not appear on the display,

or the measured values appear to be erratic, verify that there is an

adequate amount of coupling gel in between the ultrasonic sensor

and the material under test. It is also important that the ultrasonic

sensorsitsatagainstthematerial.

Auto Power OFF

To preserve battery life, the meter is programmed to turn itself after

approximately 3 minutes of inactivity. To disable this option, please see

System Setup section for details.
