SAFETY ADVISORY
PLEASE READ BEFORE USING YOUR INSTRUMENT.
WARNING
Improper use of your ultrasonic detector may result in death or serious
injury. Observe all safety precautions. Do not attempt to make any repairs
or adjustments while the equipment is operating. Be sure to turn off and
LOCK OUT all electrical and mechanical sources before performing any
corrective maintenance. Always refer to local guidelines for appropriate
lockout and maintenance procedures.
SAFETY PRECAUTION:
Although your ultrasonic instrument is intended to be used while equipment is
operating, the close proximity of hot piping, electrical equipment and rotating parts are
all potentially hazardous to the user. Be sure to use extreme caution when using your
instrument around energized equipment. Avoid direct contact with hot pipes or parts,
any moving parts or electrical connections. Do not attempt to check findings by
touching the equipment with your hands or fingers. Be sure to use appropriate lockout
procedures when attempting repairs.
Be careful with loose hanging parts such as the wrist strap or headphone cord when
inspecting near moving mechanical devices since they may get caught. Don't touch
moving parts with the contact probe. This may not only damage the part, but cause
personal injury as well.
When inspecting electrical equipment, use caution. High voltage equipment can cause
death or severe injury. Do not touch live electrical equipment with your instrument.
Use the rubber focusing probe with the scanning module. Consult with your safety
director before entering the area and follow all safety procedures. In high voltage areas,
keep the instrument close to your body by keeping your elbows bent. Use recommended
protective clothing. Do not get close to equipment. Your detector will locate problems
at a distance.
When working around high temperature piping, use caution. Use protective clothing
and do not attempt to touch any piping or equipment while it is hot. Consult with your
safety director before entering the area.
