Safety Considerations
Preface
This manual describes this equipment, its functions, and its use. It also describes the precautions to be taken to
ensure safe operation. Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate the equipment. By doing
so, you will familiarize yourself with the equipment’s capabilities and understand its functions. After you finish
reading this manual, store it in an accessible location for future reference.
Carefully follow all warnings and instructions included in this manual and marked on the equipment.
Operational, General Safety Considerations and Precautions
Always observe the guidelines and precautions that follow.
DANGER, Risk of Electric Shock: Unplug the power cord from the wall receptacle when advised to
do so in a procedure. Be advised that the equipment must be turned off when service work is
required.
Never remove the top cover of the controller. Electrical shock hazards exist due to high internal
voltage. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the controller, except for fuses, which are
accessible via the rear panel. Refer all service to the InterTest Customer Service and Support
Group.
IMPORTANT: To ensure operator safety, read and understand this manual before using the
system. Using any piece of this equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer does
not protect the user from harm.
In addition, accessories listed in this manual are the only accessories considered suitable for use
with this system. Accuracy of the rotary encoder is compromised when the probe is operated at
steep angles.
To avoid injury, read and understand the associated documentation for MZ-5™ FS Inspection
System component prior to attempting operation. Direct any questions about equipment operation
to the InterTest Customer Service and Support Group at 908-496-8008 or via email to
[e-mail].
DANGER, Explosion Hazard: Do not use this system in explosive environments. The controller
requires adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Do not cover or drape the controller. To
ensure adequate airflow, provide a three-inch (7.6 cm) clearance between the controller chassis
vents and any solid objects.
IMPORTANT If LED’s need servicing. Contact InterTest
IMPORTANT: Proper use of this product requires a protective earth ground path at the AC power
source. Using a two-conductor extension cord or any other device that compromises this ground
path is in violation of safe operating guidelines.

The unit should never come in direct contact with any voltage or current source. Damage to the
equipment and/or electrical shock to the operator may result.
The unit is equipped with a power supply mounted in the back of the equipment. It accepts a 3-
wire grounding type plug only. It is necessary that the equipment be grounded. The plug will only
fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a feature for the user’s safety. Never use an adaptor
to bypass this very important safety feature. If you cannot insert the plug into the wall outlet,
contact an electrician to replace what may be an obsolete wall outlet. Under no circumstances
should the user attempt to defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Never attempt to modify the power cord. Do not insert or unplug the power plug with wet hands.
This could result in an electrical shock. When unplugging the power plug, always grasp its plug
portion. Never pull on the power cord directly. Pulling on the power cord may expose or snap the
internal wires, which would weaken or damage the power cord and result in an electrical shock.
Do not place anything on top of the power cord. Never locate the equipment where people will
walk on the power cord or where heavy items may move over it. Never stretch or excessively bend
the power cord. Always insert the power cord’s plug completely into the socket. Failure to do so
could result in a fire or an electrical shock.
Never use power cords other than the power cords that were provided. Using improper power
cords could result in a fire or an electrical shock.
For safety reasons, the use of an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension cord must
be used with the equipment, ensure that the total amperage rating of the extension cord is equal
to or greater than 15 amperes. If an extension cord must be used, never allow other devices to
share the extension cord.
IMPORTANT: Never use the equipment in a wet or overly damp location. Exposing the equipment
to water or other liquids could result in a fire or an electrical shock.
IMPORTANT: The MZ-5™ FS Inspection System is to be used for inspecting gun tubes, Tank gun
tube, mortar tube, ship gun tube, turbine rotor bores, generator rotor bores, shaft and pipe
inspections ONLY. Improper use of this product for objects for which it is not intended or for
environments for which it is not intended will void the warranty. Warranty information can be
found starting on Page 15.
CAUTION: The UVA output is an eye and skin hazard. Do not allow close or prolonged exposure
to the UVA output of the MZ-5™ FS Inspection System. UV Eye protection is required for close or
prolonged exposure.
Note: There are two levels of operation.
