SAFETY ADVISORY. PLEASE READ BEFORE USING
YOUR INTRUMENT.
WARNING!
Improper use of your ultrasonic detector may result in death or serious injury. Observe all safety
precautions. Do not attempt to make any repairs or adjustments while the equipment is
operating. Be sure to turn off and LOCK OUT all electrical and mechanical sources before
performing any corrective maintenance. Always refer to local guidelines for appropriate lockout
and maintenance procedures.
SAFETY PRECAUTION.
Although your ultrasonic instrument is intended to be used while
equipment is operating, the close proximity of hot piping, electrical equipment and rotating parts
are all potentially hazardous to the user. Be sure to use extreme caution when using your
instrument around energized equipment. Avoid direct contact with hot pipes or parts, any moving
parts or electrical connections. Do not attempt to check findings by touching the equipment with
your hands or fingers. Be sure to use appropriate lockout procedures when attempting repairs.
Be careful with loose hanging parts such as the wrist strap or headphone cord when inspecting
near moving mechanical devices since they may get caught. Don't touch moving parts with the
contact probe. This may not only damage the part but cause personal injury as well.
When inspecting electrical equipment, use caution. High voltage equipment can cause death or
severe injury. Do not touch live electrical equipment with your instrument. Use the rubber
focusing probe with the scanning module. Consult with your safety director before entering the
area and follow all safety procedures. In high voltage areas, keep the instrument close to your
body by keeping your elbows bent. Use recommended protective clothing. Do not get close to
equipment. Your detector will locate problems at a distance.
When working around high temperature piping, use caution. Use protective clothing and do not
attempt to touch any piping or equipment while it is hot. Consult with your safety director before
entering the area.
