Operating Instructions
1. Insert the ultrasonic sensor into the probe connector sockets
on the meter.
2. Press the POWER button to turn the meter ON. Press and hold the
POWER button for approx. 2 seconds to turn the meter OFF.
3. The LCD will display the current set sound velocity.
Initial Calibration
1. Select Single measurement mode by pressing the
MODE/MENU button.
2. Place a small drop of coupling gel (R7950) on the 4mm calibration
test block.
3. Press and hold the m/s/Cal button to enter calibration mode as
conrmed by "Please Calibrate" on LCD display.
4. Place the sensor on the calibration test block while ensuring the
coupling indicator appears on the display.
5. While continuing to hold the sensor on the calibration test block,
press the REC/ENTER button when the reading has stabilized.
6. Depending on the selected unit of measure, either "0.16in"
(or "4.0/4.00mm") and "nished!" will appear on the LCD display.
7. Calibration is now complete and the ultrasonic sensor can now be
removed from the calibration test block.
Note: Results from the calibration procedure will automatically save
in the meter. It is not necessary to calibrate the meter each time the
unit is powered on unless measurements appear to be inaccurate. The
calibration procedure conrms both the meter and ultrasonic sensor are
functioning properly.

Selecting the Material Sound Velocity
1. While the meter is on, press the m/s/CAL button to enter the
pre-loaded material sound velocities menu.
2. Press the and buttons to scroll through the
pre-loaded material list.
3. Press the REC/ENTER button to conrm the
material selection and press the and buttons
to adjust the sound velocity of the material under
test if required.
Note: Each material has an adjustment velocity range
as shown below.
4. Press the REC/ENTER button again to conrm selection and resume
normal operation.
Preparing the Measurement Surface
1. Clean dust, dirt or rust off the object, and remove any coatings
(i.e. paint).
2. Smooth the surface of the object by grinding or polishing,
alternatively, coupling gel with a high viscosity can also be used.
Important Note: In any ultrasonic measurement scenario, the shape and
roughness of the desired test material are of great importance. Rough,
uneven surfaces will prevent the ultrasonic sensor from seating properly
against the surface, thus limiting the penetration of ultrasound through the
material, resulting in unstable and therefore, unreliable measurements.

Taking Thickness Measurements
1. Set the sound velocity on the meter (See the Selecting the Material
Sound Velocity section for details).
2. Press the MODE/MENU button to select between Single and
Continuous (Scan) measurement mode (See the Measurement
Methods section for details).
3. Apply coupling gel on the material under test and place the sensor
rmly against the desired measurement area.
Note: For most applications a single droplet of coupling gel is sufcient.
4. Verify that the coupling indicator appears on the LCD display.
5. Read the measurement on the LCD display.
6. When the ultrasonic sensor is removed the value will stay on the LCD
and the coupling indicator will disappear.
7. Press and hold the REC/ENTER button to save the measurement
if applicable.
Note: If the coupling indicator does not appear on the display, or
the measured values appear to be erratic, verify that there is an
adequate amount of coupling gel in between the ultrasonic sensor
and the material under test. It is important that the ultrasonic
sensor sits flat against the material.
Measurement Methods
There are four base measurement methods:
1. Single measurement method: This method involves measuring the
thickness at a single point.
2. Double measurement method: This method involves performing
two thickness measurements near a single spot
rotating the ultrasonic sensor from 0° to 90°
with respect to the split face (Figure 1). Take
the smaller of the two indicated values as the
thickness of the material.
