5.2 Calibració de la velocitat del so

Accurate sound velocity calibration is crucial for precise measurements. If the thickness of a material is known, its sound velocity can be used to calibrate the device.

1. Ensure the probe is clean and apply a small amount of coupling agent to the calibration block.
2. Press the probe firmly onto the calibration block.
3. Premeu el botó ENTER/CAL button to initiate calibration. The device will display the calibrated sound velocity.
4. Alternatively, you can manually select from 12 preset sound velocities using the VEL/DEL botó.

Imatge 5.2: The AR860 display showing a sound velocity reading, indicating the device is ready for or undergoing calibration. The text emphasizes the importance of accurate sound velocity for precise thickness measurements.

5.3 Prendre una mesura

1. Ensure the device is calibrated for the material you are measuring.
2. Apply a small amount of coupling agent to the surface of the material to be measured.
3. Press the probe firmly and perpendicularly onto the prepared surface.
4. The thickness reading will appear on the LCD display.
5. If the coupling status indicator shows an error, reapply coupling agent or adjust probe pressure.

5.4 Emmagatzematge i recuperació de dades

• To store a measurement, press the ALARM/RECALL button after a stable reading is obtained. The device can store up to 12 data sets.
• Per recuperar les dades emmagatzemades, premeu la tecla ALARM/RECALL button and use the Up/Down arrows to browse through the stored values.
• To delete stored data, use the VEL/DEL botó mentre viewemmagatzemar dades.

6. Manteniment

• Neteja: After each use, wipe the probe and the device's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Emmagatzematge: Store the device in its protective case in a cool, dry place when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
• Cura de la sonda: Ensure the probe's contact surface is free from scratches or damage, as this can affect measurement accuracy.
