Thank you for choosing the Phasor for your ultrasonic inspection tasks.

This operating manual covers the full range of potential operation for the Phasor XS--Phased array
operation and conventional ultrasonic operation.

You may have chosen Phasor for its conventional channel capabilities only, and may not have pur-
chased any of the phased array functions. Conventional channel operation instruction begins with
Chapter 4 and continues in Chapter 5.

This manual covers all operation modes because your Phasor supports all of these functions at time
of delivery, and can be optionally upgraded at any time with a simple transaction. GE Inspection
Technologies or any of its authorized agents world wide can guide you through this process.

Phasor is sold in three conﬁgurations:

Phasor CV

Includes Single channel ultrasonic operation only (Chapters 4 and 5).

Phasor 16/16

Single channel ultrasonic operation plus 16 channel ultrasonic phased array

operation. (Chapters 1-7)

Phasor XS 16/64

Single channel ultrasonic operation plus 16/64 conﬁguration of phased

array operation. This optional level also includes TOP VIEW, referenced in

Chapter 8 of the manual. (Chapters 1-8)

Version 2.0 and higher of the Phasor main operating code can be upgraded by using the built in
upgrade tool residing in the CONFIG menu.The serial number of your instrument appears in the ﬁrst
function of the CODE submenu. Depending on the option level you choose, a factory supplied code is
provided that allows instant ﬁeld upgrade.

Options can be purchased through our customer care representative or through our authorized global
agents and ofﬁces. Contact your local GEIT supplier for more details.

Phased array inspection technology is an exciting advancement which allows for better detection
probability and increased productivity.
