ATTENTION!
THE FLAW DETECTOR MUST BE SWITCHED OFF WHEN NON-
TYPICAL IMAGES APPEAR ON THE FLAW DETECTOR SCREEN AND SOFTWARE
PROGRAMS BUZZ. IF REPEATED SWITCHING ON OF THE FLAW DETECTOR (NOT
EARLIER THAN IN 3 MINUTES) DOES NOT LEAD TO THE RESETTING OF NORMAL
OPERATION, THE FLAW DETECTOR SHOULD BE SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR
REPAIR OR IT IS NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THE SERVICE CENTER.
11 Transportation and Storage
1. Climatic conditions for transportation of the eddy current flaw detector electronic unit
– 2 (C)
according to GOST 15150, but for operating temperature range from minus 20 °C to plus 40 °C.
2. Transportation of the packed eddy current flaw detector may be shipped by any type of
closed transport (except for the sea one) that protects the eddy current testing system from
direct impact of precipitations, with a possibility of transshipping from one type of transport to
the other. Air shipments are allowed only in the pressurized modules. Arrangement and fixation
of boxes in transport vehicles should prevent them from displacement, shocks or impacts.
3.
The flaw detector storage conditions in the manufacturer’s packing should meet the
requirements 2 (C) according to GOST 15150, but for operating temperature range from minus
20 °C up to plus 40 °C.
4. Storing the flaw detector in one room with acids, reagents, paints and other chemicals and
materials, the vapors of which may have a harmful effect on the instrument is not permitted.
5. In storage, the flaw detector and ECP should not be affected by electromagnetic fields.
Evaluation of stability of the flaw detector and ECP performance under the effect of
electromagnetic interferences should correspond to "B" criterion according to GOST 29073.
