Measurements are made by simply placing the IceTec8 transducer on
the ice and confirming that a measurement was successfully recorded.
This should take 1-3 seconds. If a value does not appear quickly move
the tool a few inches and try again. The measured value appears in the
lower right corner with an equal (=) sign.
When the IceTec8 is lifted from the ice, the equal sign (=) disappears
to signify that the value has been retained. When the Enter button is
pressed, the measured value will be saved in memory at that location
and the measurement location (flashing spot) will advance to the next
location. Normally a full set of measurements will be made. In some
cases a partial set of measurements is desired. Unmeasured locations
or locations measuring less than .25 inches (6.3mm) will appear as
zero when data is transferred to the PC.
TIP
Transducer must be flush to the ice surface for accurate
readings. Excessive moisture on the transducer can also cause
inaccurate or “phantom” readings.
When occasional inaccurate or false readings occur, they can be
corrected by retaking the measurement then pressing the “Enter”
button when satisfied that the displayed measurement is accurate. The
IceTec8 is designed to accurately read ice thickness from 0.5 inches
(12.7mm) to 3.0 inches (101.6mm) with an accuracy of plus or minus
2%.
