Safety

FSC1/7, FSC1000

1. Safety

System operation assumes knowledge of the operating instructions.

1.1 Symbols Used

The following symbols are used in these operating instructions.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injuries.

Indicates a situation that may result in property damage if not avoided.

Indicates a user action.

iIndicates a tip for users.

Measurement Indicates hardware or a software button/menu.

1.2 Warnings

This product contains nickel metal hydride (NiMh) accumulators. Rechargeable accumulators are not ordinary

waste. Dispose of used accumulators in accordance with national laws and regulations.

Damaged accumulators may leak, contact with skin can cause burns.

> Use suitable protective gloves if necessary.

Improper charging or replacement of the accumulator may cause the battery to explode.

> Use the charger supplied by Micro-Epsilon for charging.

Only replace the accumulators with accumulators of the same type.

Avoid shocks and impacts to the sensor.

> Damage to or destruction of the sensor

Avoid exposure of sensor and controller to splashes of water.

> Damage to or destruction of the sensor/controller

Page 6

Safety

FSC1/7, FSC1000

Avoid exposure of sensor to aggressive media (detergents, cooling emulsions).

> Damage to or destruction of the sensor

Avoid bending, clamping and tensile stress of the sensor cable.

> Damage or destruction of the sensor cable

Avoid grinding the measuring area.

> Damage of the sensor

1.3 Notes on CE Marking

The following apply to the FSC1/7 and FSC1000:

EU Directive 2014/30/EU | EU Directive 2014/35/EU | EU Directive 2011/65/EU

Products which carry the CE mark satisfy the requirements of the EU directives cited and the European harmonized standards (EN)

listed therein. The measuring system is designed for use in industrial environments and meets the requirements. The EU Declaration

of Conformity is available to the responsible authorities according to EU Directive, article 10.

1.4 Notes regarding FCC Approval

The FSC1/7 and FSC1000 are registered under the FCC identifier: 2AMBGMEMW02, equipment class

- Part 15 Class B Computing Device Peripherals and

- Part 15 Class C Low Power Communication Device Transmitter

with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference

that may cause undesired operation.

If sensor and/or controller are modified, the FCC approval becomes void.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment

generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installa-

tion.

Safety

FSC1/7, FSC1000

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment

off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

1.5 Intended Use

- The FSC1/7 and FSC1000 are designed for use in industrial and laboratory applications. They are used to measure the thickness

of paint and other electrically insulating layers on substrates such as carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP), CFRP with metallic

lightning protection and metals.

- The system must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see Chap. 2.2

- The system must be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or machines and other material goods are damaged in

the event of malfunction or total failure of the measuring system.

- Take additional precautions for safety and damage prevention in case of safety-related applications.

- The system is designed for battery operation; operating with a charger connected is not permitted.

1.6 Proper Environment

- Protection class: IP 40

- Temperature range

Operation: +10 ... +40 °C (+50 ... +104 °F)

Storage: 0 ... +45 °C (+32 ... +113 °F)

- Humidity: 20 ... 80 % (non-condensing)

- Ambient pressure: Atmospheric pressure

2. Overview

2.1 Structure, Functional Principle

The FSC1/7 and the FSC1000 are suitable for thickness measurements of insulating layers on

- CFRP,

- CFRP with lightning protection,

- metals

- and conductive or weakly conducting materials.

The device includes a sensor (handheld module) and a controller (control and display module).

The system operates

- based on microwaves, no coupling medium is required,

- on a non-destructive basis, without affecting coating or substrate.

One measurement takes less than 1 second.
