The current operation manual (hereinafter referred to as “Operation Manual”) includes in-

formation on the technical specifications, design and operation of the А1212 MASTER Ultrasonic 
Flaw Detectors (hereinafter referred to as “flaw detector” or “instrument”) and their operation 
principle, as well as information on the proper use of the instrument.

Please carefully read the operation manual prior to starting to work with the device.
Only properly trained personnel who carefully read the operation manual, and knows the 

general principles of the theory of ultrasonic vibrations should be allowed to work with the device.

For proper ultrasonic testing the following preparatory works shall be performed: the control 

tasks shall be defined, the testing schemes and the transducer shall be selected, and the inspec-
tion conditions of the given materials shall be evaluated and etc.

During the production of the instrument some modifications can be introduced to it due 

to the constant improvement of its reliability and serviceability. They do not affect the technical 
specifications of the instrument. Some of the modifications may not be described in current 
revision of the Operation Manual.
