1.4 Intended use and improper use
The Digital Test Hammer 58-C0181 / DGT must be exclusively used for the quality
control of concrete. This method of non-destructive test is not intended as an alternative
to the compression test of concrete for the determination of resistance, but with
appropriate correlations already stored in the instrument, can provide an estimate of the in
situ compressive strength.
The equipment is designed and built to be used by an operator, who must perform the
measurement on the sample to be analyzed in accordance with the instructions provided
in this manual.
The operator is responsible of starting-up the equipment, performing the test sequence,
shutting down the equipment and eventually stopping it in case any emergency conditions
are met.
The operator must be trained on the correct use of the machine and the relative safety
aspects of its use.
The machine should be used following the procedures described in this manual.
Never use the machine for reasons other than those for which it was designed and
manufactured. Any other use of the machine is to be considered improper, not foreseen
and hence dangerous.
CONTROLS will not be responsible for improper use of the machine.
