The frequency characteristic varies depending on the used equipment and/or the coupling mode. Always use the same equipment and/or coupling mode for recurring comparison measurements. 3.6.1 Long waveguide 150 mm BS20-4 Application Tests at test points that are hard to reach and on hot surfaces... -
Page 14: Magnetic Waveguide Bs20-3
Description In order to ensure usable measurement results for long-term or comparative measurements, a uniform contact pressure is required. The magnetic waveguide BS20-3 is available for this application. After coupling at the measurement point, the magnetic coupling ensures uniform recording of the ultrasonic signals. -
Page 15: Operation Of The Sensor
Incorrect mounting and removal of the waveguides may cause damage on the sensor or the waveguides and lead to faulty measurement values. • Always use the wrench set BS20 for mounting and removal of the waveguides. • When mounting a waveguide, make sure to securely screw and tighten den waveguide in the sensor mount. - Page 16 Operating Manual | 4 Operation of the sensor BS20 Tighten the waveguide on the sensor by using the open-end wrench. Removal Insert the sensor in the sensor mounting with the sensor buttons pointing downwards. Loosen the waveguide on the sensor by using the open-end wrench.
