    1. Safety and Liability 1.1 Safety and Usage Precautions This manual contains important information on the safety, use and maintenance of the Zonotip / Zonotip . Read through the manual carefully before the first use of the instrument. Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.

    2. Tutorial The Zonotip / Zonotip is designed to measure the thicknesses of ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as products made of plastics and other materials with a low ultrasonic attenuation. It meas- ures the double traverse of an ultrasonic pulse through the object under test from one surface to the other (see figure 1).

    The optional 2.5 MHz single-element integrated transducer is smaller and requires only one cable (see figure 6). This makes it more convenient to use in smaller areas or in areas that are harder to access. The 2.5 MHz is included when purchasing the Zonotip unit.

    This process is needed to calibrate the instrument before the first measurement. • Please put a little coupling paste onto the built-in zeroing sample (test plate) of the Zonotip (see figure 2). The thickness of the zeroing sample is 5 mm.

    4.1 The Different Measuring Modes 4.1.1 Overview of Settings / Menu Structures The Zonotip / Zonotip features different measuring modes that can be set in the Setup-Screen: the Norm mode, the Memory mode and the A-Scan mode (Zonotip only). Measuring Mode Memory...

  • Page 10: Norm Mode

    Using the Norm mode is convenient when the measurement results do not have to be recorded. This mode enables the Zonotip to promptly determine the thickness of the test object and to set the “monitor” (5) response range. If “monitor” (5) is set to “inside” and the readings are within the defined limits, the readings are shown in red.

    4.1.3 Memory Mode The Memory mode of the Zonotip / Zonotip allows to promptly determine the thickness of the test object, to record the measurement in the memory of the instrument, to browse them on the display as well as to correct the entries and to conduct re-measurements.
  • Page 12: A-Scan Mode

    4.1.4 A-Scan Mode (Zonotip only) The A-Scan mode allows excluding measurement inaccuracies, caused by e.g. flaws or cracks in the test object. The signal is visualized on the display as an A-Scan, which allows a more indepth analysis of the reading.
