Page 16: Intended Use
INTENDED USE Device Intended Use 2.1.1 Safety measures and operating limitations IT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED TO: use ungrounded mains sockets, use faulty mains sockets and power supply sources, use power supply sources different from the ones described in paragraph 1.1.2, switch on the device with visible damage of protective isolation, of cables conductors and of power supply cords, switch on the device when protective shrouds are removed. -
Page 17: Intended Use Of Device Components
It is possible to examine ferromagnetic materials only (iron, steel, cast iron). Nonferromagnetic materials (aluminum) are examined with the corresponding scanner of the eddy-current magnetographing device Regula 7517B. Do not use damaged MT (having breaks with sharp edges, strongly crumpled), MT with bent on edges or dirty MT (see paragraphs 2.2.2.2 and 3.2). - Page 18 Figure 4 Magneto-optical visualization of the test object surface through the layer with thickness of 0,1 mm. Spatial resolution is around 80 μm. 2.2.1.3 MOV USB device intended use The MOV USB device performs the following operations: magnetic copy stitching, extracting a used magnetic copy, processing and analyzing magnetic copy stitching, documenting examination results.

Page 19: Magnetic Copying Accessories Set
Processing and analyzing magnetic copy stitching Rotate the stitched copy to match the original, using manipulation functions: image rotation and mirror imaging. Evaluate the quality of stitching visually. If the quality is satisfactory, save the initial file and start processing and analyzing. If the quality is unsatisfactory, repeat magnetic copy stitching or make a new magnetic copy. - Page 20 The order of refilling Consumables: MT, ethyl alcohol. To fill up the operating reserve of MT, do the following: take MT from the SPRK, cut it into strips of necessary length and enclose them into the cartridge intended for storing MT (Fig. 6, pos. 1). To cut metal MT, use the cutter from the SPRK and do the following: Set the cutter lever (Figure 5, pos.
- Page 21 Tear the tape along the blade edge (Figure 5, pos. 2). When tearing, it is better to “twist” the tape but not pull it up (Figure 5b). When tearing the MT avoid fins forming on strip edges. Put the obtained MT strip with its concave edge under the blade of the cutter and tear another edge similarly.
- Page 22 If the ends of the MT strip (20–30 mm from the strip ends) have transverse bends with the radius of curvature less than 20 mm (Figure 7a), straighten them. To straighten the tape, roll the tape into a tight tube of inverse curvature or slightly stretch it on an angular edge (for example, on the table edge).
- Page 23 Non-observance of the recommended form of MT strip edges can result in stitching discrepancies and MT jamming in the MOV USB device. Use of polluted and damaged MT leads to device malfunction. To renew ethyl alcohol operating reserve, take the container for alcohol from the box (Figure 7d), remove the cap, unscrew the head and pour about 5 ml of ethyl alcohol.

- Page 25 Similarly fix the other end of the MT with a magnetic clamp (see Figure 9–10). MT can also be fixed on the examined surface manually — without using magnetic clamps. Figure 10 а) Making a magnetic copy of a number platform using the compact magnetic scanner with the spring clip positioned along the number platform ...
- Page 26 Remove the MT strip with the examined object copy and disconnect the magnetic clamps. Avoid contact of magnetic clamps and the scanner with the MT surface. Otherwise, the MT can be partially demagnetized or “unnecessary” magnetization elements (blemishes or strips unrelated to the examined object) may appear. Put the magnetic copy into the corresponding cartridge for storing MT (see Figures 6a, b).

Thus, the User won’t be able to extract the MT strip manually without assistance. It is advised to apply to the service center. If the foreign object is still in the tract (after extracting the MT strip), the user may try to take it out using a strip of cartridge paper or thin cardboard (holding the button of the pressing roller block).
