2.8 AutoC (Auto Calibration)
AutoC is for calibrating material velocity and probe delay (probe zero, the acoustic time
from the probe crystal to the incident point) for the system, so as to eliminate the impact of
Vel and PrbDly on the measurement values of sound path, horizontal distance and vertical
distance.
The user may select either material velocity calibration or probe zero calibration, or both
at the same time.
a) VelC: Calculate material velocity by using echo propagation time difference of the
two reflectors with known sound path.
b) DelayC: Calculate probe delay by using the difference between the echo
propagation time of one reflector with known sound path, and the echo time
measured by the system.
Example condition:
2-28
(1) The calibration block is as shown in Fig. 2-6, the sound path of the first reflector
50mm, the sound path of the second reflector 100mm.
Fig. 2-6 Auto calibration block
(2) The probe frequency 2.5MHz, 60°angle probe.
(3) Perform “Vel+PrbDly” auto calibration.
Operation:
1) In “TR”, set up system TR parameters according to the probe connected, as
shown in Fig. 2-7.
Fig. 2-7 Setting TR parameters
2-29
2) In “WpPrb”, set up probe “Type” as Angle, “Angle “ is 60.0, now the system will
automatically set “ValK” to 1.73, as shown in Fig. 2-8.
Fig. 2-8 set up probe parameters
3) In “AutoC”, set up “Calib” to Vel+PrbDly, and set up Ref1 and Ref2 sound path of
the calibration block according to test block parameters setup (set to 50mm and
100mm here).
4) Place the probe on the calibration block, as shown in Fig. 2-6, and get the echo
of Ref1 as shown in Fig. 2-9.
When the "Ref1" value is adjusted, the gate center position is automatically adjusted to its
set value. If the parameter setup and probe placement are correct, the gate may record
the desired echo. If the gate position is different from the echo position, adjust "Start"
menu, or press Gate key to quickly adjust (see 2.3.2) and enable recording the echo.
Move the probe to get peak position of the reference point, press Right or Enter in
“Record” menu to finish recording Ref1.

2.9 AngleC (Angle Calibration)
AngleC is for measuring the angle of an angle probe with a reflector (e.g. side drilled hole)
with known size and depth.
【Note】
(1) To ensure measurement accuracy, auto calibration is required before angle
measurement. See 2.7.
(2) When performing angle measurement, the sound path between the probe
and the reflection hole shall be greater than 2 times of NFL, so as to avoid
measure result error due to the impact of near field area.
Example condition:
(1) The calibration block is as shown in Fig. 2-12, ReflDep 30mm, ReflApe 50mm.
2-33
Fig. 2-12 Angle calibration block
(2) The probe frequency 2.5MHz, 60°angle probe.
Operation:
1) Finish Vel+PrbDly calibration. See 2.7, or set up the parameters according to the
test block material and probe setup.
2) in”AngleC”, set up ReflApe and ReflDep of calibration block according to test
block parameter (the setup is30mm and 50mm in the example).
3) Place the probe on the test block, as shown in Fig. 2-12. The system gets the
hole echo, as shown in Fig. 2-13.
When adjusting "ReflDep" value, the gate center position is automatically adjusted to its
set value. If the parameter setting and the probe are placed properly, the gate may record
the desired echo. If the gate position is different from the echo position, adjust "Start"
menu, or use Gate key to quickly adjust (see 2.3.2), enabling the gate to record the echo.
Move the probe to get the peak of the reference point, press Right or Enter in “Calib”
menu to finish recording.

If you are not satisfied with the calibration result, turn on "Clear" and return to step 1) to
calibrate again.
2.10 Curve _DAC
The Distance Amplitude Correction (DAC) curve is used to indicate the amplitude variation
of the reflector signal with the same size but different distance from the probe. The
purpose of the DAC curve is to compensate material attenuation, near field effect, beam
propagation and surface roughness in image format.
DAC Curve is for guiding the user to make DAC curves based on the detection
requirement.
Operation:
1) In ”Curve”, set up “MakeType” to DAC.

standard.
2-39
2.11.1 TCG
After making the curves, the default is DAC. You may adjust "Kind" menu and switch to
TCG.
Time-Changed Gain (TCG) is to compensate the same factor as DAC, but with different
representation. DAC is drawn with reference to the reflector peak position when beams
attenuate, and TCG is to set up a function based on time (distance) amplified gain,
enabling the reference reflector peak reaches the same screen height (the amplitude of
the first DAC point), where the curve is displayed as a straight line through the screen, as
shown in Fig. 2-18.
Fig. 2-18 TCG
2.11.2 ParamLock
When the DAC Curve is finished, "ParamLock" function is turned on by default. In this
case, the adjustment of the parameter menu (see note (1)) which may cause the
reference echo state to change is not allowed.
2-40
However, taking into account of probe wear or other situations, and the inspectors may
need to fine tune the restricted parameters, you can turn off the "ParamLock" function and
open the adjustment of parameter menu, so as to avoid remaking the curves.
【Note】
1) The restricted parameter menus include: “Voltage”, “PulseW” , “Damping” ,
“PRF” “Dual”, “Freq”, “Rectify”, “Reject”, “EchoType”, “Mtrl”, “Vel”,
“Angle“, “ValK”, “ValX”, “PrbDly”.
2) To turn off the "ParamLock" function, the inspector should understand the
impact of the adjusted parameters and verify the adjusted curves.
2.11.3 DACData
When the "DACData" function is turned on, the gain value and the attenuation value of the
recorded points in the DAC curves (BaseL, Line1, Line2 and Line3) at 80% amplitude are
displayed in a tabular form. See Fig. 2-19.
Fig. 2-19 DACData

2.12 Curve_AVG
In the actual ultrasonic testing, due to different shapes and nature of defects, it is difficult
to determine the real size of the defect. Therefore using "equivalent method" may quantify
the defects.
The equivalent method is a method of determining the size of the defect, as compared
with the artificial defect of regular shapes, that is, when the perceived defect wave height
is equal to the artificial defect wave height under the same testing condition, the size of the
artificial defect is called the equivalent size of the defect.
The artificial defect usually used to represent the equivalent size is FBH (flat bottom hole).
For the regular reflector (including artificial defects), under certain assumptions, the
relationship between the echo sound path, the amplitude (dB) and the defect equivalent
can be expressed in a regular way that is called the AVG (DGS) curve, which is typically
used for the area equivalent calculation of the defect for forging.
Where A represents the distance in the unit of NFL; V represents the amplitude in the unit
2-44
of dB, with the initial wave height 0 dB, and G is the defect equivalent, in the unit of probe
size.
AVG Curve is to guide the user to make AVG curves according to the test requirements.
Example condition:
(1) The test block is a 100-Φ2 forging block, i.e. Thickness 100mm, FBH Φ2.
(2) The probe is a normal (straight-beam) probe with frequency 2.5MHz, diameter
20.0mm.
Operation:
(1) To ensure the accuracy of curve making, auto calibration is required before
making the curve. See 2.7. .
(2) In “Curve”, set up “MakeType” as AVG.
(3) Press Right key to enter the “AboutAVG” menu list, and set AboutAVG
parameters according to the probe and test block. In this example, "Type" is
Normal, "Freq" 2.5MHz, "Shape" Round, “CrysLA” 20.0mm, “BaseType” FBH ,
“BaseAper” 2.0mm, “Mode” ＞3N, as shown in Fig. 2-20.
2-45
Fig. 2-20 set up AboutAVG parameter
(4) Place the probe on the calibration block and get the FBH echo. Adjust “Start”
menu, or Gate key to adjust quickly (see 2.5.2), enabling the gate to record the
echo. Move the probe to get the peak of FBH, then press Right or Enter key in
“Record” menu to finish AVGCurve, as shown in the figure.
2-46
Fig. 2-21 AVG
2.13 CurveCtrl_AVG
2.13.1 Comp
If the echo amplitude of the test block in use or the workpiece does not comply with the
theoretical value, Adjust “Comp” menu to compensate the difference, which is commonly
used in case that BW echo serves as the base.
Since BW echo amplitude usually cannot reach the theoretical difference with the FBH
echo amplitude of the same distance, taking the BW amplitude as the base will result in
incorrect FBH equivalent calculated in practical testing. Therefore, in the situation that BW
echo is used as the base, to make the calculation more accurate, it is suggested to use
the error between the actual difference [of base BW echo amplitude and the echo
amplitude of FBH test block of the same distance (different distance theory)] and the
theoretical difference as a compensation value input.
2-47
2.13.2 Unit dB
When the "Unit dB" function is turned off, the AVG curve position is set according to the
equivalent value (mm/ inch); when the "Unit dB" function is turned on, the base line is 0dB.
Set up ±dB value of AVG curve relative to the baseline.

◆ Vel: For setting velocity of the work piece.
f) Display
◆ Mode: For setting the display layout and combination on the screen, with
A/BVa, A/Ba/ BVa, Ba/ BVa as options. "A" refers to the A-scan display;
“BVa” refers to the reading display screen at the central area; “Ba” refers to
the data.
When switching to “BVa+Ba”, there is no A-scan display.
This mode is a special display mode:
1) For dual probes only;
2) “Rectify” is fixed at RF;
3-13
3) The calibration default is “DelayC”;
4) “CntinueSrch” is fixed at on;
5) The system parameters such as Range, Delay and Gate can not be
adjusted.
Here is the general StdMode TG operation without A-scan image (for
operators):
1) Set the “Display” 1st menu in “Display” to “BVa/Ba”;

options available: Std, MinVal, MaxVal, Avg, Diff (See 3.12 for the
description on reading items).
◆ LstRead: To set up whether to keep the last reading or display blank when
no coupling signal in measuring MainVal.
If in “Blank” mode, the reading is "---" after the coupling is lost.
If in “Hold” mode, the reading is the measure value for the last valid coupling
(with no coupling flag) after lost coupling.
◆ SavedData: For turning on/off the display of SavedData. It is an on/off
control of the latest reading cache display on the right of MainVal, which is
invalid in MultiMode and B Scan mode.
◆ LostCoupT: When performing MinVal/ MaxVal measurement, it allows a new

3-14
calculation restarted if the probe lost coupling time (LostCoupT) reaches the
setup value. For example, when the measurement mode is "MinVal” and the
last valid measure value is 50mm, if the measured value is 100mm this time,
the displayed measure value should still be 50mm. But if the time interval
between the two measurements exceeds the time of "LostCoupT", then the
display value is 100mm.
◆ DiffRef: For Diff measurement, the thickness value is the measured value
minus the DiffRef value.

corresponds to the actual signal position of gain compensation in the time
axis direction; while in the amplitude direction, the start gain and the target
gain are compressed in the screen for display, which does not represent the
actual signal amplitude.

Generally velocity of solid material decreases as its temperature rises. It is
demonstrated from experimental data that for every increase of 100°C in
thermal material, the velocity decreases by 1%. If the temperature of the
calibration test block is different from that of the test part, you may turn on
TempComp function. Set up TempComp coefficient, and the velocity will be
compensated for temperature change.
◆ Unit: For selecting the temperature unit, Fahrenheit or Celsius.
◆ BaseTmp: The workpiece temperature when calibrating the system.
Adjustable Celsius range: -10~200; Fahrenheit: 14~392.

3.4 Description of WorkMode
3.4.1 StdMode
If WorkMode is StdMode, the thickness reading is the measure value between the
calibration zero and the GateA meas point (JFlank: the zero-crossing point of the first peak
exceeding gate thresh. Peak: the zero-crossing point of the peak exceeding gate thresh).
The small inverted triangle identifier automatically tracks gate measurement position.
For measurement in StdMode, see Fig. 3-2.
3-29
Fig. 3-2 StdMode
Operation:
(1) In Probe menu, set up PrbSel, ProbeDly and MtVel. If required, perform
CalibZero, and enter the measurement state.
(2) In Gate menu, adjust the gate position, set up measurement parameters and turn
on the over-limit alarm function.
(3) In Meas menu, set up Rectify and AutoSrch.
(4) To enable over limit alarm, set up in Alarm menu.
(5) To save the measurement data file, set up in DataSave menu.
3.4.2 CoatMode
If WorkMode is CoatMode, the thickness reading is the measure value between the gate
A MeasPnt and gate B MeasPnt. (MeasPnt can be selected. JFlank: the zero-crossing
point of the first peak exceeding gate thresh. Peak: the zero-crossing point of the peak
exceeding gate thresh). The small inverted triangle identifier on the gate automatically
tracks the position.
For measurement in CoatMode, see Fig. 3-3.
3-30
Fig. 3-3 CoatMode (measure CoatThk at the same time)
If CoatThk is enabled, the coating thickness is measured when the base below the
coating is measured by CoatMode. While performing CoatMode, the zero-crossing point
of the first peak exceeding aThresh is measured by the software, and the coating
thickness is acquired from calculation.
【Note】When using a dual probe for CoatMode or measurement in ECHOMode, it is
recommended to use the broad-frequency narrow-pulse probe TGM5-10L to
achieve high measurement precision and stable measurement reading.
Operation:
(1) In Probe menu, set up PrbSel, PrbDly and MtVel. Generally, perform CalibZero
for the known material velocity in Probe menu of StdMode. If required, perform
CalibZero in this menu again, and then enter the measurement state.
(3) In Meas menu, set up Rectify and AutoSrch. If CoatThk measurement is enabled,
3-31
set up the known CoatVel, and the coating thickness can be measured at the
same time.
3.4.3 ECHOMode
If WorkMode is ECHOMode, the thickness reading is the measure value between gate A
MeasPnt and gate B MeasPnt. (MeasPnt can be selected. JFlank: the zero-crossing point
of the first peak exceeding gate thresh. Peak: the zero-crossing point of the peak
exceeding gate thresh). See Fig. 3-4.
The following is an example of "Peak" set in "MeasPnt".
In ECHOMode, Gate A is the trigger gate. Adjust Gate A to record the first bottom wave
(by ensuring the measurement position in the gate is the peak position of the correct first
bottom wave, which can be determined by adjusting aStart and aWidth, and the position of
the inverted triangle in the gate line), According to the peak position in gate A, bStart is
shifted automatically in proportion to record the second bottom wave. The difference of the
peak in gate B and the peak in gate A is the thickness value of Echo to Echo (also by
ensuring the measurement position in gate B is the peak position of the correct second
bottom wave, which can be determined by adjusting bStart and bWidth, and the position of
the inverted triangle in the gate line).
ECHOMode is suitable for fast measurement of B1-B2 with different thickness. When
adjusting the position 2 gates for manual measurement is required, use CoatMode. By
adjusting the Start and Width of the two gates, the Bm-Bn value (such as B2-B3, or B3-B4)
is measured.
3-32
Fig. 3-4 ECHOMode
Operation:
(1) In Probe menu, set up PrbSel, PrbDly and MtVel. Generally, perform CalibZero
for the known material velocity in Probe menu of StdMode. If required, perform
CalibZero in this menu again, and then enter the measurement state.
3.4.4 Issues Related to WorkMode
(1) The measured waveform amplitude or gate should be adjusted according to the
measurement requirements for each mode, enabling the signal at the measured
position exceeding gate thresh and ensuring measurement accuracy. If
AutoSrch or AGC cannot be achieved, please cancel the automatic function and
3-33
use manual adjustment.
(2) For CoatMode or ECHOMode, it is recommended to use a
broadband-frequency narrow-pulse probe (i.e. less signal pulse cycles, for
example the dual probe 5M10FG-HL00 or 7.5M6FG-HL00, the delay series of
single probes) for testing, so as to achieve the optimal measurement accuracy
and stable measurement reading. For the general wide-pulse dual probe,
ensure the cursor position in the 2 gates corresponds to signal in the 2 gates
and better measurement accuracy. You may manually adjust the gate start,
width and thresh of the 2 gates to properly locate the measurement position.
(3) If Rectify is RF, and GateThresh is default to negative, it measures the negative
waveform signal (below the baseline). The StdMode measurements correspond
to the first peak of negative signal in the gate exceeding gate thresh. The
zero-crossing after the peak is stable, which is conducive to stable display of
measurements. If GateThresh is set Positive, i.e. it measures the positive
waveform signal (above the baseline). The measurements correspond to the
first peak of positive signal in the gate exceeding gate thresh. Due to the weak
peak signal, the zero-crossing after the peak is not stable, which is not
conducive to stable display of measurements. Generally it is suggested to set
RF (GateThresh is set Neg) or Neg for Rectify, so as to get the most stable
measurements displayed.
3.5 VelMeas
Subject to the selected WorkMode, the material velocity is calculated and displayed based
on the known Thickness. This function is for velocity measurement of a single-layer
workpiece. For the velocity measurement of a multi-layer workpiece, use MultiMode.
Before exiting VelMeas, choose whether to apply the velocity measurement to the current
material.
3-34
Operation:
(1) In Probe menu, set up WorkMode, PrbSel, PrbDly and the known thickness. If
required, perform CalibZero, and enter the measurement state.
(2) In Gate menu, adjust the gate position and set up the measurement parameters.
3.6 MultiMode
If the workpiece has multilayer materials which are linked closely, you can use MultMode
to measure, provided that the material velocity for each layer is known. The actual
measurement effect is dependent on the multi-layer material. If the thickness for each
layer is known, the velocity for each layer can also be measured. For MultMode
measurement, choose whether to apply the velocity measurement of the measurement to
the current material.
For MultMode measurement, up to 4 layers can be measured at the same time. There are
4 measurement gates L1, L2, L3, L4 in total. The measurement for the 1 st layer is the
sound path difference between the first wave peak in gate L1 to zero; The measurement
for the 2nd layer is the sound path difference between the first wave peak in gate L2 and L1;
The measurement for the 3rd layer is the sound path difference between the first wave
peak in gate L3 and L2; and the measurement for the 4th layer is the sound path difference
between the first wave peak in gate L4 and L3.
(The description example above takes Peak as "MeasPnt". In the practice, you may also
set it as JFlank, the measure value at the intersection of the gate and the first wave. )
The main reading display for MultMode is the sum of layer measurements, with the
3-35
measurement for each layer displayed on the right of main reading.
For the measurement screen in MultiMode, see Fig. 3-5 .
Fig. 3-5 MultiMode
Operation:
(1) In Probe menu, set up PrbSel and PrbDly.
(2) In MeasParam menu, set up LayerNum, MeasObj (Thickness/ Velocity) LayerVel
(for thickness measurement) or Thickness (for velocity measurement)

3-36
encoder, and display the measurement reading of scan process in B-mode images, which
is for thickness measurement image analysis and recording for the scanned workpiece.

The VPATH curve for the current WorkMode of the probe in use is displayed on the left,
and the Basic information such as Type; PntNum; point attributes of the selected curve is
displayed on the right.
Follow the tip to operate.
3.11 Auto Search and Auto Gain Control
3.11.1 AutoSearch (AutoSrch)
AutoSrch function may search and adjust waves quickly based on the received wave
signals. According to the wave signals of the tested thickness, AutoSrch quickly adjusts
the system automatically, including the adjustment of DspDly, Range, Gain and the
measurement gate. It provides a shortcut for operation. However, AutoSrch cannot
completely replace manual adjustment, which is subject to probe selection, workpiece
material, thickness and surface condition. If AutoSrch cannot capture and measure
properly, please turn off AutoSrch and use manual adjustment for measurement.
If the probe type is Dual, in StdMode, CoatMode or WorkMode, AutoSrch shall include
auto adjustment of searching waves, range, gain and gates. If WorkMode is StdMode, the
software search will bring gate A to record the first wave and adjust AGC of the first peak
to 80%. If the workmode is CoatMode or ECHOMode, the software search will bring gate
A to record the first wave and adjust AGC of the first peak to 80%, and gate B
automatically records the second wave. AutoSrch in MultiMode and B-Scan is equivalent
to auto gain A only.
If the probe type is Single, AutoSrch in all work modes is equivalent to auto gain A only.
AutoSrch can be set Single auto search, i.e. to auto search once if enabled once, or
Continue (continuous) monitoring and search.

3-41
The maximum gain auto adjustment of AutoSrch is bound by the set value of “MaxSGain“.
If “MaxSGain“ is set too high, it may result in searching abnormal noise signals; If
“MaxSGain“ is set too low, it may result in the desired signals not measured. The specific
setup value shall be adjusted subject to the probe and workpiece.
If in CoatMode or ECHOMode, the AutoSrch algorithm is also restricted by the impact of
“Coat Status” parameter in “Meas” menu. “Coat Status” includes “Thin” and “Thick”. When
the system is in calculating GateB position, it will refer to this parameter to adjust the
algorithm, so as to better demonstrate and position gate B to the secondary beam
position.
【Note】" Coat Status " is suggested to set as below: set to “Thin” if the coat
thickness is less than or equal to 0.5mm, otherwise set to "thick".
Operation:
Select “Continue” or “Single” or “Off” in "AutoSrch" of Meas menu, or press the hot
key F1or F2 (when the hot key is defined as AutoSrch), to enable or disable this
function.
3.11.2 Auto Gain Control (AGC)
If AGC is enabled, select to perform auto gain control for gate A or gate B (for CoatMode
and ECHOMode only). For StdMode, the first peak amplitude in gate A is automatically
adjusted to 80% height; For CoatMode and ECHOMode, the maximum peak amplitude in
the selected gate is automatically adjusted to 80% height.
AGC and AutoSrch functions cannot be enabled at the same time. The maximum gain
auto adjustment of AGC is bound by the set value of MaxSGain.
Operation:
Select “GateA”, “GateB” or “Off” in “AGC “of Meas menu to enable or disable this
function.

the actual signal position of gain compensation in the time axis direction; while in the
amplitude direction, the start gain and the target gain are compressed in the screen for
display, which does not represent the actual signal amplitude.
Set up the attributes:
◆ StGain: For setting the start dB value of TDG curve.
◆ CmpGain: To set up gain compensation value, max. 40dB.
StGain+CmpGain ≤ 110dB.
◆ StTime: The valid start time of TDG curve (the acoustic time counting from

3.14 Application of Thickness Gauge
3.14.1 General Flow Chart
If the workmode is StdMode, see Fig. 3- for the flow chart of general thickness gauge
application.
Fig. 3-10 General Flow Chart
3-46
3.14.2 Application Notes
For most materials, such as carbon steel, the general flow chart above is practical and
effective. On how to use the system, especially on calibration and auto search, see 3.11.
When testing a thickness close to the critical measurement range, sometimes AutoSrch
may need manual adjustment and judgment of the operator to ensure the measurement
accuracy. For coarse grain, high-attenuation material (such as ductile iron), special
composite materials and multilayer materials, please choose manual adjustment to
measure. Now it is very important that the operator be acquainted with certain ultrasound
theories and testing basic knowledge.

supply. Restart the system to see whether it is in normal operation. If not, try to contact the
distributor or SIUI for service as soon as possible.
7-2
7.4 Cannot Identify the SD Card
a) Restart the system while the SD card is inserted.
b) Try to replace another memory card.
【Note】For updating software, it would be better to restart the system with the
SD card inserted, and then perform system update.
7.5 No Echo
a) Check if the S/DPrb setting is correct, whether it is set Dual, but with a single
probe connected only.
b) Check if the probe cable is in bad contact. Try to replace another probe cable.
c) Check if the setup of Gain, Range, DspDly, PrbDly and Reject are correct.
d) Set the system to Default, use a new probe cable to connect a good probe and
scan on a test block. If echoes appear, the failure is due to improper setting.
e) If the failure still exists after trying the solutions above, please contact the
distributor or SIUI.
7.6 Cannot make DAC curves
a) Check if AVG curves are made. DAC curves cannot be created if AVG curves are
made.
b) Check if Record is not selected in the DAC menu.
c) Check if the echo amplitude recorded by the gate is not within the range of 20%
~100%.
d) Check if Rectify is set RF. DAC curves cannot be created in RF mode.
7-3
7.7 Cannot make AVG curves
a) Check if DAC curves are made. AVG curves cannot be created if DAC curves are
made.
b) Check if Record is not selected in the AVG menu.
c) Check if the echo amplitude recorded by the gate is not within the range of 20%
~100%.
d) Check if Rectify is set RF. AVG curves cannot be created in RF mode.
7.8 Incorrect depth reading when using an angle probe
a) Check if Vel or PrbDly is not corrected.
b) Check if Angle or ValK is not inputted or incorrect.
c) Check whether the gate records the echo to be tested or there are clutters with
higher echo amplitude. By measuring PeakEcho within gate, only when the
echo being recorded by the gate properly, can accurate calculation result comes
out.
7.9 Incorrect horizontal reading when using an angle probe
a) Check if Vel is not corrected.
b) Check if Angle or ValK is not inputted or incorrect.
c) Check if PrbDly is not inputted or incorrect.
d) Check if ValX is inputted correctly. When ValX is 0, the measurement reading
refers to the horizontal distance between the incident point of probe and the flaw,
otherwise, it refers to the horizontal distance between the probe flank and the
flaw.
e) Check whether the gate records the echo to be tested or there are clutters with
7-4
higher echo amplitude. By measuring PeakEcho within gate, only when the
echo being hitched by the gate properly, can accurate calculation result comes
out.
f) When measuring a round-hole flaw, the horizontal distance to be measured is
between the flaw (beam reflection point) and the probe, rather than between the
round-hole center and the probe. Otherwise, the bigger the round-hole diameter
is, the bigger the error will be.
7.10 Cannot Charge the Battery
a) Check if the adapter AC power input plug is connected properly or comes loose.
b) Check if the adapter indicates normal operation. The adapter indicator is green
with no-load, or it is red when loaded (in power supply or recharged).
If the failure still exists after trying the solution above, please contact the distributor or
SIUI.

【Note 1】The table above applies to the thickness measurement (TG) module.
【Note 2】When using a dual probe for measurement in CoatMode or ECHO mode, it
is recommended to use a TGM5-10L wideband narrow-pulse probe for high
accuracy and stable measurement readings.
【Note 3】If a low frequency (less than 2.5MHz) or high temperature probe is
adopted, it is recommended to select precision as 0.1mm or 0.01 in.
【Note 4】For measuring coarse or high attenuation materials such as cast iron, it is
recommended to select precision as 0.1mm or 0.01 in.
B-3
【Note 5】Using other probes (including the user-defined probes) except the
thickness probe supported by SIUI, the measurement range and precision cannot
be predictable and guaranteed.
