6.3 Structure-borne sound probe L62 for long-time tests
and detection of bearing wear, steam trap testing
Death or serious injury possible.
Incorrect operation, damage to the
device as well as damage to accessories can impair the explosion
protection.
(1) Prevent friction and impact sparks that could occur, for
example, when the probe is dropped.
Serious injury from the probe tip possible
.
(1) Always use the probe with care and caution so that there is no
risk of injury from the probe tip.
(2) When transporting outside the case or when the probe is not in
use, use the probe quiver on the shoulder strap.
Severe burns and injuries possible when testing steam traps.
(1) Be aware that steam and the surfaces of steam traps can become
extremely hot. Keep sufficient distance when testing with the L62.
The probe L62 for structure-borne ultrasound is used to detect ultrasound
in solid objects, e.g. for the poof of bearing wear or steam traps.
It has to be pressed gently by hand against the spot that has to be
examined. In order to achieve reproducible results, the contact pressure
and direction must be kept constant.
