2 INTENDED USE
2.1 Operating restrictions
The device must be operated away from dust and aggressive environments, and with consideration
of features of the test objects in line with the agreed technical specifications, and the device must be
used within its technical characteristics.
The magnetic of radio noise at the place of operation of the thickness gauge must not exceed the
value that could impair the operation, i.e. it must not create the voltage at the amplifier input of the
thickness gauge that is more than half of its maximum sensitivity.
If the magnetic field of radio noise is strong, the place of operation of the thickness gauge must be
shielded from the external magnetic field.
The device must be used by a person who has read this operating manual.
If the device id carried to the place of operation at sub-zero temperature and placed in a room with
a temperature above zero, it should be kept in a package for at least 6 hours to avoid the moisture
buildup.
2.2 Preparation for the use
2.2.1 Visual inspection
Before an operation, the device must be checked visually, and its parts, processing unit,
transducer, slots, and connection cable must be checked for damages.
2.2.2 Battery charging
To charge the battery, connect the power unit to the slot on the bottom edge of the device. The
device can be operated during the charging.
The full battery charging takes up to 14 hours. When the device is being charged, it is prohibited
to leave it unwatched. The device can be also charged by connecting it to a PC.
To avoid battery failure during long storage, the battery should be charged each 2 months, even
when the device was not in operation.
2.2.3 Transducer connection
The transducer should be connected to the sockets in the top part of the device by a connection
cable.
Caution!
To avoid failure of sockets and cables, follow the operating instructions for the use of connectors
below!
The connector assembly of the device (fig. 2.1) consists of two parts: the device socket and the
cable plug.
