HEALTH AND SAFETY 

 

Some  organic  materials  may  attack  plastic  parts  and 

cause  early  degradation.  Contact  with  such  materials 

should be avoided. 

 

7.  HEALTH AND SAFETY

 

 

AUDIT 207 thickness gauge and accessories are 

NOT

 

intrinsically safe or flameproof, and should not be used 

in  hazardous  areas  without  the  necessary  local 

precautions  being  enforced  for  the  use  of  non-

intrinsically safe equipment. 

 

Always adhere to site rules and guidelines concerning 

Health & Safety when using the AUDIT Instrument. 

 

Always wear safety equipment appropriate to the area 

where the measurement is to be made. 

 

There  are  no  user  serviceable  parts  inside  the 

instrument case of the AUDIT 207  Service work should 

only be carried out by qualified personnel. 

 

Care should be taken that the couplant used is neither 

harmful to the operator nor will it attack the probe.  For 

advice please contact Baugh & Weedon.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION 

 

 

EC Declaration of Conformity

 

 

UNIT Audit 207 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge 

WEE compliance Registration No  WEE/FK0103WV 

 

The  equipment  is  supplied  in  a  single  commercial 

carton, containing the items previously detailed, ensure 

that all the items of equipment are accounted for when 

unpacking. 

 

Equipment  should  be  examined  for  signs  of  transit 

damage.  Damaged  equipment     

SHOULD NOT BE  

USED

  Retain  the  carton  in  the  event  the  equipment 

has  to  be  returned  to  the  manufacturer  for  period 

certification. 

 

3.   PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

 

 

AUDIT 207 measures thickness by injection of a short 

burst  of  high  frequency  sound  (ultrasound)  into  the 

work piece and measuring the time taken for the burst 

to  travel  through  the  material  and  be  reflected  back 

from the far surface. As the velocity at which the sound 

travels  is  constant  for  a  given  material  the  thickness 

can be computed and displayed. 

Thickness  readings  are  held  for  5  Minutes  after  the 

probe is removed from the work piece.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

  

    

                   

 

Backlight is operated by the 

UNIT

 key, selectable on/off 

 

Low battery is indicated by the battery symbol located 

at the top right of the display.10 hours use available. In 

normal  use  battery  life  will  be  much  greater  than  the 

above specification. This is due to the intermittent use 

of  the  instrument  rather  than  a  continuous  test  , 

detailed above.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

     

   

 
6.   CARE & MAINTENANCE

 

 

This  equipment  is  protected  against  hostile 

environments as defined in section 2.5 and is designed 

for  prolonged  use  in  the  field  without  any  special 

maintenance other than routine cleaning. 

 

All connectors should be kept free of foreign matter and 

the transducer face regularly cleaned with soft material 

such as tissue paper. 

 

To ensure trouble free operation,  when not in  use the 

AUDIT 207 thickness gauge should be returned to the 

carrying case in a clean condition.  

 

This  equipment  should  only  be  operated  by  qualified 

personnel. 

 

Transducers and leads are consumable items and are 

subject to wear and deterioration during use.  The life 

of these parts can be much extended by keeping them 

in  a  dry,  clean  condition,  and  storing  them  in  suitable 

protective containers.  During use avoid 'scrubbing' the 

probe  face  on  the  work  piece.  Only  take  spot 

measurements at the selected locations.
