2. Introduction
2.1. Appointment of aw detector
Flaw detector is designed for testing of products for the presence of
defects such as discontinuity and homogeneity of materials, semi-
nished products and welds for measuring depth and coordinates of
defects, measure the thickness and sound velocity in the material.
Flaw detector implements shadow, echo and mirror-shadow testing
methods. Flaw detector allows user to create, record and stored in
nonvolatile memory temporary implementation of pulsed ultrasonic
signals to subsequent transmitting to the for analysis andPC
presentation in the form of a document. Integrated liquid crystal
display (LCD) provides a mapping of ultrasonic signals in the form of
A-scan, as well as images of cross sections of testing objects in the
form of B-scans.
Flaw detector can be used in mechanical engineering, aerospace,
metallurgy, mounting hardware, power equipment, as well as for the
testing of transportation facilities.
2.2. Testing
For proper ultrasonic testing user must have testing methods for
similar products and special requirements for ultrasonic testing.
These requirements include: the denition of the task of testing,
selection of suitable control techniques (testing schemes), the
PCE Instruments

selection of transducers, an assessment of the known conditions of
control in such materials, the selection of the minimum size of the
reector for this type of product, reject level and so on.
2.3. Velocity of ultrasonic vibrations
Accuracy of measurement of thickness and position of defects
depends on the correct setting of the ultrasonic velocity in the
material. Velocity of ultrasound is dependent on the physical
characteristics of the material and its temperature.
3. Operating Conditions
The device is designed to operate in the following environmental
conditions:
- The temperature from -15 to +50 °C;
- Relative humidity to 95% at a maximum temperature of +35 °C.
The location of the flaw detector must be protected from direct
exposure to dust, moisture and corrosive environments. The eld
strength of radio noise at the location of the aw detector should not
exceed the value of the infringing operation, i.e. creator of the flaw
detector at the amplier input voltage greater than half the maximum
sensitivity. At high eld strength of radio interference must be taken
measures to shielding placements of aw detector from the external
electromagnetic eld.
Operating position of the flaw detector may be any convenient for
the user. To avoid moisture condensation inside the aw detector
when moving it from a cold to a warm place, it is necessary to
sustain aw detector for at least 4 hours before turning in the on
premises.

The dimensions of the operating area of the screen is 48 x 74 mm.;
Electrical power is supplied from the following sources:
-AC power from 100 to 250 V, a frequency of (50 ± 1) MHz;
- AA batteries 1,5 V (3 pcs.).
5 . Operating principle
Operating principle of aw detector is based on the ultrasonic
contact NDT method, which uses the properties of ultrasonic
vibrations to reect from the borders between materials with dierent
acoustic impedance. The ultrasonic transducer emits ultrasonic
impulse into the test object. Reected from the defects or the ed
product surface the echo signals are received by the ultrasonic
transducer. The resulting electrical signals are subject to
amplication, digitization, processing and output to the display.
Displays echoes received by the aw detector is performing as
scanning of type A (A-scan) as well as images of cross sections of
tested objects form of B-scan. in

5.1. Electronic unit of aw detector
Flaw detector makes the formation of electrical pulses to excite the
piezoelectric transducer, gain derived from the piezoelectric
transducer signals, processing and visualization of the formation and
representation measurements in digital form, saving data in non-
volatile memory and transfer it to PC.
The appearance of the electronic unit is shown o picture 6.1. n
Operation of flaw detector makes by keyboard. Visualization of
signals and display of measurement results, the state of aw
detector and other information is shown on the LCD.
Connecting the probe is carried out by the coaxial cable through the
connectors LEMO, which are located on top side of the devices
body.
The device is powered by a three batteries type AA, or the included
in set external charger connected to the mini-USB connector located
on the bottom of the electronic unit of the aw detector.
5.2. Probes
Flaw detector is designed to operate with the contact, dual element
and separated ultrasonic transducers with an operating frequency in
the range from 1 to 10.0 MHz.
The device uses a generator of bipolar sounding pulses with
adjustable duration, which provides compatibility with both probes:
have integrated terminating inductance and without them, allowing
operation operate with most types of probes on the market.
Depending on the type of probe it is used two types of cables and,
correspondingly, two ways to connect the probe :
- Ultrasonic transducers (type S) are connected via single cable
LEMO-LEMO to the left LEMO connector;
- Dual element transducers (type D) are connected by a double
cable 2LEMO-2LEMO. Right connector is used to connect the

receiver of the piezoelectric element, the left - transmitter of the
piezoelectric element.
6 . Operation of the device
The basis of flaw detector operation is founded on the ability of
ultrasonic vibrations spread into tested object and reect from
internal defects and object sides. The received signal is amplified
and then converted into digital form processed by the
microprocessor and the graphics and digitally displayed on the
display.
Visualization of signals, display of measurement results, state of the
aw detector and other information are shown on the LCD. Exterior

of the selected parameter) to set the required value.
To change the discreteness of the selected parameter value
changes, as well as to conrm the selected action use key .
Selected discreteness displays as one of the icons near
the variable parameter.
6.2. Preparing to work with the device
Read this instruction manual and follow its instructions.
Flaw detector must be protected from direct exposure to dust,
moisture, corrosive environments, and must be suciently lit by light
sources.
The field strength of the external interference at the location of the
aw detector must not exceed values that violate its performance. At
high eld strength of external interference must be taken to shielding
placements of the aw detector, as well as its power supply and
connected cables.
When operating from AC power to the flaw detector must be
supplied mains with voltage from 100 to 250 V and with frequency of
(50 ± 1) Hz.
If in the power supply network arise switching noise in power supply
network of the aw detector must enable network lter.
To avoid moisture condensation inside the body, when moving from
a cold environment to a warm, device must be hold in the warmth for
4 hours to dry completely.
At air temperatures below 10°C after switching on flaw detector must
be warmed for at least 15 minutes.
