1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THE DEVICE AND ITS COMPONENTS
1.1 Intended use
EMA Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3K-EMA is intended for measuring the wall thickness of
steel pipes, rolled sheets, rods and other steel products, as well as aluminum and other metals, without
the use of couplant and preliminary surface preparation, with a working gap between the probe and
metal of up to 2 mm. The gap might be a layer of rust, a layer of salt deposits or another non-
conductive coating (paint, varnish, enamel, plastic, etc.).
The thickness gauge works both independently and connectively to an Android-based tablet and
displays the real-time radio signal on the screen in the thickness gauge of flaw detector mode (А-scan).

Figure 1.1 –EMA Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3K-EMA
The device is equipped with a digital display to show the readings. The buttons located to the right
side of the display perform the following functions:
“OK” button – switching the device on and off, navigation through the menu;
“Calibration” button, entering the menu;
“Up” button –increasing the parameter value;
“Down” button – decreasing the parameter value.
The mini-USB socket is designed for connection of charger and connection of outer devices such
as an Android-based tablet or a smartphone.
1.5 Design and operating principle
The device operation is based on the measurement of the time of flight of the acoustic wave
through the tested material. The measured time is recalculated into the thickness value by the preset
ultrasound velocity value.
The acoustic wave is formed by electromagnetic acoustic transduction directly on the surface of
the test object and avoiding the contact media between probe and test object. Thanks to this, the wave
is not disrupted in this media. The testing gap can be 2-3 mm and might be in the form of air, liquid,
rust, paint, plastics, etc.
The special data processing algorithm allows correct measuring of the thickness of the test object
in the presence of interfering factors, such as metal anisotropy, the presence of several reflectors, and
the presence of external interference. The device allows eliminating the human factor completely and
making measurement fully automatic.
1.6 Means of measurement, device, and accessories
The device operability must be checked with the reference block included in the package.
In normal operating conditions, the indicated value of the device must correspond to the value of
the reference block. If the readings are wrong, the device must be calibrated according to the c. 2.3.

Operating manual
EMA Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3K-EMA

Page 6
If any malfunction is found, the adjustment and setting of the device must be done by
NOVOTEST.
1.7 Packaging
The device and its components are shipped in a case to avoid possible damage during
transportation.
2 INTENDED USE
2.1 Operating restrictions
The device must be used with consideration of environmental factors and characteristics of test
objects and in line with the specified technical specifications, as well as the own technical
specifications.
The device must be used only by users acquainted with the operating manual.
If the device is transported at sub-zero temperature and operated at the temperature above zero, it
should be kept in a package for at least 2 hours to avoid malfunctioning due to moisture condensation.
2.2 Preparation of the device for the use
2.2.1 Visual inspection
Before using the device, inspect the device carefully and make sure that it is not damaged.
2.2.2 Battery charging
If the battery is discharged, the device must be charged via the charger. If the battery charge is less
than 25%, the device readings will flash on and off. When the charger is connected to the device, the
display shows the level of the battery charge.
In order to check the battery charge level, do the following:
1. Turn the device on by pressing “ ”;
2. Press “ ” or “ ”, and the letter “В” will appear on the display and three figures
indicating the battery charge level.
For example: “В025” –the battery is discharged by 25 %.
Charging the battery completely takes at least two hours. The device is recommended to charge
with the power off.
Caution!
If the device battery is fully discharged for a long time, this can reduce the battery capacity and service
life. If the battery is fully discharged, it is advised to charge it as soon as possible. This requirement
must be fulfilled during the long-term storage of the device.
2.3 Calibration
The device features two calibration methods: by the known test object thickness and known sound
velocity.
2.3.1 Calibration by the known thickness:
1. Turn the device on by pressing “ ”.
2. Install the device on the test object with the known thickness.
3. Start calibration by pressing “ ”. The readings will start flashing.
4. Set the known thickness value of the reference block by pressing “ ” or “ ”.

Operating manual
EMA Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3K-EMA
RDC.ED.UT-3K-EMA.000 OM
Page 7
Note –Holding “ ” or “ ” button will change the increment of the value.
5. Press “ ”.
2.3.2 Calibration by the known ultrasound velocity:
1. Turn the device by pressing “ ”.
2. Press “ ” twice. The figures on the indicator will start flashing.
3. Set the known ultrasound velocity using “” or “ ”.
Note –Holding “ ” or “ ” button will change the increment of the value setting.
4. Press “ ”.
Caution!
The device employs a transversal wave. The typical value of transversal wave propagation in steel is
3250 m/s.
2.4 Operation
2.4.1 Thickness measurement
To perform the thickness measurement, take the following steps:
1. Turn the device on by pressing “ ”. If there is no object near the probe, the thickness values
on the device display will change randomly.
2. Calibrate the device if it is necessary, according to c. 2.3.
3. Place the device on the surface of the test object. The device will display the thickness value
within a period from 100 milliseconds to 3 seconds, depending on the selected amount of
integration.
2.4.2 Selection of the amount of coherent integration
The device can measure the thickness using the coherent integration algorithm that allows
increasing signal/noise ratio and improves the accuracy of thickness measurement.
When the device is issued with a big gap for the objects with poor quality of the surface, it is
recommended to increase the amount of integration to improve the measurement accuracy.
To change the amount of integration, take the following steps:
1. Turn the device on by pressing “ ”.
2. Press “ ” three times. The display will show A0XX inscription, where
ХХ –the amount of integration.
3. Set the needed amount of integration with “ ” or “ ” button.
The amount of integration can be: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024.

Operating manual
EMA Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3K-EMA

Page 8
4. Press “ ” button.
It should be noted that the measurement time increases with the increase of the amount of
integration. By default, 32 integrations are set in the device.
2.4.3 Specifics of the operation
The probe contains the permanent magnet which implies specific requirements to the device
operation:
1. If the device is moved near a knife, fork, needle, and other sharp metal objects, operator should
exercise care. Such objects may get magnetized to the probe housing and harm operator. To
avoid this, operator should hold the device should by the middle and rear part, as far from the
probe as possible.
Note –If the device is placed in proximity of a plastic magnet card, this might lead to failure of
the card.
2. If the device is placed on a loose and relatively lightweight sample, operator should hold it with
hand.
3. If operator puts the device on a test object quickly and carelessly, it might bump against due to
additional acceleration caused by the magnetic field. To save the service life of the probe, it is
recommended to place the device on a test object smoothly and hold the device meanwhile.
4. It is recommended to put the device on the test object at a 60angle. Once the probe touches the
test object, the device should be put upright.
Throughout the device operation, operator should check the integrity of the plastic protector of the
probe. If plastic protector is damaged and the emitting coil is opened, the probe should be replaced.
Caution!
If the device is used with the probe damaged, this may lead to device failure. When the damaged probe
(and exposed coil wires) contacts metal, this may lead to sparkling.
2.4.4 Replacement of the probe
If the plastic coating of the probe is worn, the probe should be replaced.
The probe can be replaced at the NOVOTEST service center, or operator can do it individually.
To replace the probe of the probe, take the following steps:
1) Unscrew four screws holding the probe on the body;
2) Remove the damaged probe;
3) Put the new probe into the body;
4) Fix it with screws.
