Transport and storage Hint If you store or transport the device improperly, the device may be damaged. Observe the information on transporting and storing the appliance. Transport When transporting the appliance, use the transport case included in the scope of delivery to protect the appliance from external influences. -
Page 15: Unpacking And Commissioning
On receipt of the appliance, you should first check that no damage has occurred in transit, that the outer packaging, the housing, other parts or even the appliance itself have not been damaged. If any damage is evident, please notify SAUTER GmbH immediately. - Page 16 particular test object. Some probes are too large to be used in a fixed environment. If the surface available for contact with the probe is limited, a probe with a small contact area is required. If you are measuring a curved surface, for example a drive cylinder wall, the contact surface of the measuring probe must also be adapted to this.

used. This ensures that the device is always set correctly. Pressing the button cancels the current zero setting. Speed of sound In order to be able to take exact measurements, this must be set to the speed of sound of the corresponding material. Different materials have different speeds of sound. If this is not done, all measurements will be incorrect by a certain percentage. - Page 23 9.4.2 Calibration with known sound velocity Note: For this procedure, the speed of sound of the material to be measured must be known. A table of the most common materials can be found in the appendix of these operating instructions. 1.

Page 24: Measurements
Measurements The measuring device always saves the last measured value until a new value is added. For the measuring probe to function properly, there must be no air bridges between its contact surface and the surface of the material to be measured. This is achieved with the ultrasonic gel, the "coupling agent". -
Page 25: Two-Point Calibration
Two-point calibration This procedure assumes that the user has two known material thickness points of the test material and that these are representative of the measuring range. 1. Coupling agent is applied to the material sample. 2. The US measuring probe is placed on it and the correct position of the measuring probe on the material sample is checked. -

The following section describes how to create this option: 1. In the {Test Set} → {Tolerance Limit} menu, press the button to activate the command. 2. Use the button and the buttons to set the upper and lower limit values for the desired measured value. Press thebutton again to confirm and go to the actual menu or press the button to cancel the limit setting. -

Page 29: Battery Operation / Power Supply
Observe the national and international transport regulations for devices with a permanently installed lithium-ion battery. Do not replace defective batteries yourself! Contact SAUTER or a specialist dealer directly. This device is equipped with two AA alkaline batteries. Please use the original battery and do not replace any other batteries to avoid damage to the device or other failures. -
Page 30: Interfaces
Interfaces The device is equipped with a USB 2.0 interface as standard. It can be connected to a PC using the optional cable. The measurement data stored in the device memory can be transferred via this cable. For detailed information on the communication software, please read the software manual. -
Page 31: Maintenance, Servicing And Disposal
Maintenance, servicing and disposal Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before carrying out any maintenance, cleaning or repair work. 12.1 Cleaning Clean the device with a damp, soft, lint-free cloth. Ensure that no moisture penetrates the housing. Do not use sprays, solvents, alcohol-based cleaners or abrasive cleaners, but only clear water to moisten the cloth. -

Page 34: Comments On The Application
14.2 Comments on the application 14.2.1 Measuring pipes and hose material If a piece of pipe is measured to determine the thickness of the pipe wall, the positioning of the measuring probe is important. If the diameter of the pipe is greater than 4 inches, the position of the measuring probe on the pipe should be such that the incision on the contact surface is perpendicular to the long axis of the pipe. - Page 35 An additional important factor when measuring coated materials is that any trapped air gap causes premature reflection of the ultrasonic beam. This is noticeable in a sudden decrease in material thickness. Whilst this prevents the accurate measurement of the overall material thickness, the user is positively alerted to air gaps in the coating. 14.2.4 Material suitability Ultrasonic material thickness measurements are based on sending sound through the material to be measured.
