5. Konfiguracja

5.1 Instalacja baterii

1. Znajdź komorę baterii z tyłu urządzenia.
2. Aby otworzyć, przesuń pokrywę komory baterii w dół.
3. Insert two AA 1.5V alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Załóż pokrywę komory baterii, przesuwając ją ku górze, aż zatrzaśnie się na swoim miejscu.

5.2 Podłączenie sondy

1. Identify the two probe connection ports on the side of the MT160 unit.
2. Connect the two plugs from the ultrasonic probe cable into these ports. Ensure a firm connection.

6. Działanie

6.1 Włączanie/wyłączanie zasilania

Naciśnij red circular button once to power on the device. To power off, press and hold the same button until the display turns off. The device also features auto sleep and auto power off functions to conserve battery life.

6.2 Pomiar podstawowy

1. Ensure the probe is connected and the device is powered on.
2. Apply a small amount of coupling agent to the surface of the material to be measured. This eliminates air gaps between the probe and the material, which would interfere with ultrasonic wave transmission.
3. Place the probe firmly and flatly onto the prepared surface.
4. The LCD display will show the thickness reading. The coupling status indicator will confirm proper contact.
5. Remove the probe from the surface after the reading stabilizes.

6.3 Kalibracja

Calibration is crucial for accurate measurements. The MT160 allows for calibration using a known thickness or by measuring sound speed.

1. Naciśnij CAL przycisk, aby wejść w tryb kalibracji.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts to calibrate using a material of known thickness or by inputting the sound velocity.
3. Confirm the calibration settings.

6.4 Wybór jednostki

Naciśnij W/MM button to toggle between Metric (millimeters) and Imperial (inches) units for your measurements.

6.5 Tryb skanowania

For continuous measurement and to find the minimum thickness over an area, use the Scan Mode.

1. Naciśnij SKANDOWAĆ button to activate Scan Mode.
2. Move the probe across the surface. The device will continuously update the display with readings (ten per second).
3. Naciśnij SKANDOWAĆ button again to exit Scan Mode.

6.6 Funkcje pamięci

The MT160 can store up to 20 files, with each file containing up to 99 values.

• Use the designated memory button (often indicated by a folder icon or similar) to save readings.
• Poruszaj się po zapisanych files and values using the arrow buttons.

6.7 Wskaźniki

• Coupling Status Indicator: Displays the quality of contact between the probe and the material. A stable indicator means good coupling.
• Wskaźnik pozostałego poziomu naładowania baterii: Shows the current battery level in real-time.

7. Konserwacja

7.1 Czyszczenie

• After each use, wipe the probe and the device with a soft, dry cloth to remove any coupling agent residue or dirt.
