Operating Instructions

1.  Insert the ultrasonic sensor into the probe sockets on the meter.
2.  Press, hold an release the 

 button for 2 seconds to turn the meter 

on. Press the 

 button to turn the meter off.

3.  The LCD will briefly display information about the meter, and then 

show the current set sound velocity.

Setting Ultrasonic Sensor Frequency

1.  Press the 

 button to highlight the ultrasonic sensor frequency 

setting on the display.

2.  Continuously press the 

 button to toggle between 2MHz, 5MHz, 

7MHz, 10MHz and ZW frequencies.

3.  To exit, press the 

 button or by carrying out a measurement.

Zero Calibration

1.  After setting the correct ultrasonic sensor frequency, set the sound 

velocity to 5900m/s (see 

Adjusting the Sound Velocity

 for details).

2.  Select the proper receiving gain (see 

System Setup

 for details).

3.  Coat the 4mm calibration test block with coupling gel (R7950) and 

place the sensor on the calibration test block while ensuring the 

coupling indicator "

" appears on the LCD display.

4.  Once the coupling indicator appears on the LCD display press the 

 button to initiate zero calibration.

5. 

The meter will beep and then the screen will indicate that the calibration 

is complete.

6.  If zero calibration is not properly completed the meter will retain the 

original value.

7.  To delete the calibration data, see 

Memory Manager

 section for details.

Adjusting the Sound Velocity

1.  While the meter is on, press the 

 button and the meter will 

display the current sound velocity.

2.  Press the 

 button to switch between the 5 pre-loaded sound 

velocities, or press the 

 and 

 buttons to match the sound 

velocity of the material under test as shown in the following table.
