IntroductionSafety information
that the required functions operate perfectly in the in-
tended combination.
If you have any questions about the use of your test
equipment, please contact your nearest representative
of GE Inspection Technologies.
Defects/errors and exceptional stresses
If you have reason to believe that a safe operation of
your USM 35X is no longer possible, you have to dis-
connect the instrument and secure it against uninten-
tional reconnection. Remove the batteries if necessary.
A safe operation is e.g. no longer possible
• if the instrument shows visible damages,
• if the instrument no longer operates perfectly,
• after prolonged storage under adverse conditions
(e.g. exceptional temperatures and/or especially high
air humidity, or corrosive environmental conditions),
• after being subjected to heavy stresses during trans-
portation.
1.2 Important information on
ultrasonic testing
Please read the following information before using your
USM 35X. It is important that you understand and ob-
serve this information to avoid any operator errors that
might lead to false test results. This could result in per-
sonal injuries or damages to property.
Preconditions for testing with ultrasonic
test equipment
This operating manual contains essential information on
how to operate your test equipment. In addition, there
are a number of factors which affect the test results. A
description of these factors would go beyond the scope
of an operating manual. The following list therefore only
mentions the three most important conditions for a safe
and reliable ultrasonic inspection:
• the operator training
• the knowledge of special technical test requirements
and limits
• the choice of appropriate test equipment.
