Important Notice
The following information must be read and understood by any user of GE
Inspection Technologies equipment. Failure to follow these instructions can lead
to errors in measurements or other test results. Decisions based on erroneous
results can, in turn, lead to property damage, personal injury or death. Any use
for medical applications or other purposes is not allowed.
General Warnings
Proper use of test equipment requires three essential elements:
• Selection of the correct test equipment.
• Knowledge of the specic “test application requirements.”
• Operator training.
The operating manual provides instruction in the basic set up and operation of
the testing equipment.
Operator Training
Operators must receive adequate training before using test equipment.
Operators must be trained in general testing procedures and in the set up and
performance required by a particular test.
More specic information about operator training, qualication, certication,
and test specications is available from various technical societies, industry
groups, and government agencies.
Safety Information
ATTENTION! This is an instrument for materials testing. Any use for medical
applications or other purposes is not allowed.
The instrument may only be used in industrial environments.

Software
According to the current state of the art, software is never completely free from
errors.
Before using any software-controlled test equipment, please make sure that the
required functions operate perfectly in the intended combination.
Defects/Errors and Exceptional Stresses
If you have reason to believe that a safe operation of your instrument is no
longer possible, you have to disconnect the instrument from its AC Power
Adapter/Battery Charger, shut it down, and secure it against unintentional
reconnection.
A safe operation is no longer possible if:
• The instrument shows visible damages.
• The instrument no longer operates perfectly.
• Being subjected to heavy stresses during transportation
• After prolonged storage under adverse conditions like exceptional
temperatures and/or especially high air humidity, or corrosive environmental
conditions.
Service
Every effort has been made to provide you with a reliable product. However,
should service become necessary, GE Inspection Technologies has established
a number of Factory Trained Service Centers. For the location of the nearest
facility, refer to the end of this user manual.

Batteries
Only batteries (Lithium-ion) recommended and supplied by GE Inspection
Technologies may be used for instrument operation.
NOTE:
Internal batteries may only be replaced by a factory trained service center.
Opening the instrument case in an attempt to access the batteries will void the
instrument’s warranty. An externally connected battery pack is available from
suppliers as described in this manual.
NOTE:
When the instrument reaches the end of its life, the Lithium-ion battery must
be removed. Then properly dispose of the instrument and of the Lithium-ion
battery.
Power plug
Class 1: For AC line powered equipment the power plug may only be inserted
into a grounding-type receptacle. Any disconnection or interruption of the
protective conductor may make the instrument unsafe. When connecting
equipment with other devices, the protective conductors shall be made
equipotential.
Class 2: Use only the power cord and AC Power Adapter/Battery Charger
supplied by GE Inspection Technologies for this instrument. Serious harm to the
instrument is highly likely if the incorrect power supply is used.
ChargerSpecications
AC input to charger specication: 100–240 VAC, 47–63 Hz
DC charge input specication: 12 VDC ± 5%, 72 W
