THE LIMITS OF USE
:
The
TEPEX 2S
use an electromagnetic signal which can be disrupted by the material
being gone through or the type of environment.
The disruption remains negligible as long as the rock contains little or no metallic mineral
elements and the level of interference remains that of a quarry blasting zone.
WARNING
The
TEPEX 2S
is built to function from -15°C to +35°C. Use in extreme
temperatures provokes a surcharge of consumption above normal.
The
TEPEX 2S
is an instrument of measure which must be conserved and used
as such. In particular, excessive force applied to the probe, dropped too quickly
in the hole, or a fall, can provoke the break up of the aerial.
In case of doubt of normal usage, check the accuracy of the measurements with
the help of a graduated ribbon held between the probe and the box, held
vertically at about 1,5 m from the ground. A difference of measurement superior
5% indicates a disfunctionment of the
TEPEX 2S
.
Choose a testing ground outside of the concrete flag stone and away from possible
parasites, for example, computers and their screens.
The
TEPEX 2S
is designed to control the drilling which takes place before the
introduction of the explosive charge.
Under no circumstances can the
TEPEX 2S
be used as an instrument associated
with the handling of explosives.
