Mentor EM Portable Equipment 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 specic “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 specic information about operator training, qualication, certication,

and test specications 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.

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.

Mentor EM Portable Equipment 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

instrument’s 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.

ChargerSpecications

AC input to charger specication: 100–240 VAC, 47–63 Hz

DC charge input specication: 12 VDC ± 5%, 72 W

follow the product instructions or failure to perform preventive maintenance,

(ii) service, repair or modication by someone other than GE Inspection

Technologies or one of our authorized service representatives; or (iii) external

causes, such as accident, abuse, misuse, or problems with electrical power.

The use of unauthorized spare parts shall render the manufacturer’s warranty

null and void.

Notications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, articial life support

and any other devices requiring extremely high reliability and quality.

• As the modules communicate via radio waves, it is strongly recommended

that conguration 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 nal 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 per-

formed with the nal 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 modu-

les 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.

Canadian Notice for Wireless:

This equipment does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions as

described in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of

Communications.

Le present appareil numerique n’emet pas de bruits radioelectriques depassant

les limites applicables aux appareils

numeriques de la classe A prescrites dans le Reglement sur le brouillage radio-

electrique edicte par le ministere des

Communications du Canada.

FCC Notice for Wireless:

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the

following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference.

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference

that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class

A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed

to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equip-

ment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in ac-

cordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to

cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the

interference at his own expense.

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 Europe’s 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 specic 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.
