Transducer performance will be degraded by excessive wear at the tip.
To minimize wear, do not scrape or drag the transducer across rough
surfaces. When a transducer tip becomes too rough, concave, or
otherwise non-flat, operation may become erratic or impossible.
Although some wear is normal in corrosion gaging applications,
severe wear will limit transducer life. A transducer resurfacing
procedure can be performed to improve performance of worn
transducers. Contact Panametrics-NDT for details.
9.3 Error Messages
During the normal operation of the gage, certain special error
messages may be displayed. Usually these indicate a problem with the
operating procedure but some may indicate a physical problem with
the gage itself. Consult Panametrics-NDT for further information.
9.4 Turn On And Low Battery Problems
The bars on the batteries symbol show operating time remaining. If
the gage turns off immediately after turn-on, or if it does not turn on at
all, then the battery is probably completely discharged. The batteries
should be replaced. If, after replacing the batteries, the unit still does
not turn on, there has probably been a component failure within the
gage, which should be serviced.
SETUP ( "Do--") PROBLEMS
If the message "Do--" will not go away when the [ZERO] key is
pressed, make sure a Panametrics-NDT transducer is plugged in. If so,
the transducer may be defective. Try another one if possible, or try a
different cable. If no transducers will permit the "Do--" message to be
removed, there is probably a problem in the pulser/receiver assembly
of the gage.
