• In case of large diagnostic value deviations of the recommended limits, check if the entered parameters are correct or
repeat the measurement at a different point on the pipe.
• Press ENTER.
Input of the transducer distance
The recommended transducer distance is calculated on the basis of the measured sound speed. It is therefore a better
approximation than the first recommended value which had been calculated on the basis of the sound speed range
entered in the program branch Parameters.
• Measure the adjusted transducer distance.
• Enter the measured transducer distance. The max. permissible difference to the recommended transducer distance
must not be exceeded.
• Press ENTER.
The measurement is started. The measured values are displayed.
