The membrane vent (see Figure i-2 on page 4) is used to counterbalance the internal
and external pressures and to maintain the instrument watertightness. Do not
puncture the membrane vent. When the membrane vent is punctured, the instrument
fails to comply with the IP66 rating.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, avoid touching the inner conductor of the
probe connectors. Up to 340 V can be present on the inner conductor of the
ultrasonic testing (UT) connectors, and up to 115 V can be present on the phased
array (PA) connector. The warning symbol near the PA and UT connectors signals
this electric shock risk (see Figure i-3 on page 5).
• Reinforced insulation must be provided for the probes connected to the
OmniScan SX instrument.
Use only compatible Olympus probes.

• Service instructions, when applicable, are for trained service personnel. To avoid
the risk of electric shock, do not perform any work on the instrument unless
qualified to do so. For any problem or question regarding this instrument, contact
Olympus or an authorized Olympus representative.
Electrical Warnings
• Before turning on the instrument, you must connect the protective earth terminal
of the instrument to the protective conductor (mains) of the power cord. The
mains plug shall only be inserted into a socket outlet provided with a protective
earth contact. Never negate the protective action by using an extension cord
(power cable) without a protective conductor (grounding).
• Only use fuses with the required rated current, voltage, and specified type
(normal-blow, slow-blow, quick-acting, etc.). Do not use repaired fuses or short-
circuited fuse holders. Doing so could cause electric shock or create a fire hazard.
• If there is any possibility that the ground protection could be impaired, you must
make the instrument inoperative and secure it against any unintended operation.
• The instrument must only be connected to a power source corresponding to the
type indicated on the rating label.
Battery Precautions
