User's Manual
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 specific 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 specific information about operator training, qualification, certification,
and test specifications 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.

User's Manual
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.
11/14/2013
User's 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
instruments 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.

Notifications for Wireless Modules:

The modules are Class 1 and are exempt under sub class 22, Wideband
Data Transmission Systems 2400 -2483.5 MHz.
The wireless modules utilize the 2.4 GHz band.
The modules are designed to be embedded into general electric devices, and
are not designed for aircraft instruments, atom control, artificial life support
and any other devices requiring extremely high reliability and quality.
As the modules communicate via radio waves, it is strongly recommended
that configuration be performed regarding security, to prevent information
leakage to a third person.
The modules are wireless modules for embedded use. Please understand the
functions and features of the modules, and test the final product into which
the modules have been embedded. Also, as an EMC measurement of the
modules has not been performed, an EMC test and application must be performed with the final product into which the modules have been embedded.
The modules may effect or be affected by any surrounding devices utilizing
the same bandwidth. Please investigate the environment in which the modules will be operated before installing it.
Disassembling or modifying the modules may lead to penalties based on
radio wave law.
The modules are an embedded module that has its connectors and parts
exposed. Be careful to avoid electrostatic discharge, water contamination,
and powder or dust contamination.

Disposal of packaging materials

Dispose of packaging material in accordance with legal requirements and local
regulations.
Environmental Compliance
GE Inspection Technologies is an active participant in Europes Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) take-back initiative, directive 2002/96/EC.
The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and
use of natural resources for its production. It may contain
hazardous substances that could impact health and the
environment. In order to avoid the dissemination of those
substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on
the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate
take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of
your end life equipment in a sound way.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use those systems. If you
need more information on the collection, reuse and recycling systems, please
contact your local or regional waste administration.
Visit www.ge.com/inspectiontechnologies for take-back instructions and more
information about this initiative.
Battery Disposal
This product contains a battery that cannot be disposed of as
unsorted municipal waste in the European Union. See the product
documentation for specific battery information. The battery is with
this symbol, which may include lettering to indicate cadmium (Cd),
lead (Pb), or mercury (Hg). For proper recycling return the battery
to your supplier or to a designated collection marked with this symbol, which may
include lettering to indicate cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), or mercury (Hg). For proper
recycling return the battery to our supplier or to a designated collection point.
