WARNING
Safety
Before turning on the instrument, verify that the correct safety precautions have been
taken (see the following warnings). In addition, note the external markings on the
instrument, which are described under “Safety Symbols.”
Warnings
General Warnings
• Carefully read the instructions contained in this instruction manual prior to
turning on the instrument.
• Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for further reference.
• Follow the installation and operation procedures.
• It is imperative to respect the safety warnings on the instrument and in this
instruction manual.

WARNING
CAUTION
CAUTION
Electrical Warning
The instrument must only be connected to a power source corresponding to the type
indicated on the rating label.
If an unauthorized power supply cord is used to power the instrument or charge the
batteries, Olympus cannot guarantee the electrical safety of the equipment.
Battery Precautions
• Before disposing of a battery, check your local laws, rules, and regulations, and
follow them accordingly.
• Transportation of lithium-ion batteries is regulated by the United Nations under
the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. It is
expected that governments, intergovernmental organizations, and other
international organizations shall conform to the principles laid down in these
regulations, thus contributing to worldwide harmonization in this field. These
international organizations include the International Civil Aviation organization
(ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International
Maritime Organization (IMO), the US Department of Transportation (USDOT),
Transport Canada (TC), and others. Please contact the transporter and confirm
current regulations before transportation of lithium-ion batteries.
• Do not open, crush, or perforate batteries; doing so could cause injury.
• Do not incinerate batteries. Keep batteries away from fire and other sources of
extreme heat. Exposing batteries to extreme heat (over 80 °C) could result in an
explosion or personal injury.
• Do not drop, hit, or otherwise abuse a battery, as doing so could expose the cell
contents, which are corrosive and explosive.
• Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. A short circuit could cause injury and
severe damage to a battery making it unusable.
Important Information — Please Read Before Use
10
DMTA-10045-01EN, Rev. E, August 2016
CAUTION
• Do not expose a battery to moisture or rain; doing so could cause an electric
shock.
• Only use the BondMaster 600 instrument or an external charger approved by
Olympus to charge the batteries.
• Only use batteries supplied by Olympus.
• Do not store batteries that have less than 40 % remaining charge. Recharge
batteries to between 40 % and 80 % capacity before storing them.
• During storage, keep the battery charge between 40 % and 80 %.
• Do not leave batteries in the BondMaster 600 during instrument storage.
Hearing Protection
The BondMaster 600 probes emit audible sounds that easily propagate and that are
amplified by the part being tested. The sound level is dependent on numerous factors,
including (but not limited to) part composition, frequency, extent of defect(s), and
proximity to the part being tested. Under specific test conditions, sound levels in
excess of 85 dB have been measured near the probe. Sounds of this intensity can result
in hearing fatigue and possible hearing damage after long-term exposure, and
therefore a hearing-protection program may be necessary. In particular, the
mechanical impedance analysis (MIA) and pitch-catch swept modes are capable of
generating high-pitched sounds that can cause earlier onset of hearing fatigue.
Because of the variations in part composition, test conditions, and part proximity,
OSSA (Olympus Scientific Solutions Americas) recommends that you evaluate your
particular test applications to determine if hearing protection is required.
Equipment Disposal
Before disposing of the BondMaster 600, check your local laws, rules, and regulations,
and follow them accordingly.

for return and/or collection systems available in your country.
China RoHS
China RoHS is the term used by industry generally to describe legislation
implemented by the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) in the People’s Republic
of China for the control of pollution by electronic information products (EIP).
The China RoHS mark indicates the product’s EnvironmentFriendly Use Period (EFUP). The EFUP is defined as the number of
years for which listed controlled substances will not leak or
chemically deteriorate while in the product. The EFUP for the
BondMaster 600 has been determined to be 15 years.
Note: The Environment-Friendly Use Period (EFUP) is not meant
to be interpreted as the period assuring functionality and product
performance.

The BondMaster 600 is available in two different models:
• B600: Basic instrument featuring all pitch-catch modes

analysis (MIA), and resonance modes
Before using the BondMaster 600 for the first time, you must inspect the package
contents to make sure there are no missing or defective items.
1.1 Unpacking
All cartons should be opened and inspected upon receipt. The cartons and contents

shipment. If damage is noted, contact the carrier and retain the damaged shipping
materials until an inspection can be performed by a representative of the carrier. With
the exception of the universal battery charger/adaptor and external accessories, all
BondMaster 600 options are installed before the instrument is shipped. Check the
contents of the carton or cartons against the packing list to ensure that all ordered
accessories have been received.
1.2 Initial Inspection

checked against the packing list, a visual inspection and a basic operation test should
be performed as follows:
