Minimum Depth Alarm

The EPOCH 650 ultrasonic flaw detector is equipped with a minimum depth alarm
that is triggered whenever the current thickness measurement reading falls below an
operator-defined level. The minimum depth alarm can be used either with a single
gate or in echo-to-echo measurement mode.
7.8.3

Minimum Depth Alarm with a Single Gate

When the minimum depth alarm is activated, a marker appears on the gate to visually
indicate the current setting (see Figure 7-9 on page 135). Any indication that exceeds
the gate threshold to the left of the marker triggers the alarm.
