3. Getting Started
3.1. Quick Start Guide
Following is a quick start guide to help you get a feel for the gauge without
reading the entire manual. For a more detailed explanation of each of these
steps please read the full manual.
1 Unscrew the probe knurled ring and apply a few drops of
membrane oil to the face of the probe. (Pg 9)
2 Screw the knurled ring back onto the probe ensuring no air has
been trapped and the membrane is flat to the probe face. (Pg 9)
3 Connect the probe, cable and gauge together. (Pg 5)
4 Turn the gauge on using the ‘ON/OFF’ switch. (Pg 11)
5 If the ‘Home’ screen is displayed, navigate using the arrows to the
‘Measuring’ screen option and press the key. (Pg 18)
6 Apply a small amount of ultrasonic gel to the surface being
measured.
7 Place the probe onto the ultrasonic gel / test piece.
8 A measurement will be displayed.
3.2. Assembly
To assemble the gauge for use:
i. Attach the probe to the probe cable by pushing the cable Lemo
plug into the socket on the probe.
ii. Connect the other end to the gauge Lemo socket.
Note: To remove the connectors, simply pull back on the connector collars to
release the plug from the socket. Do not force or twist under any
circumstances.

3.3. Batteries
The Multigauge 5700 uses 1.5Vdc ‘AA’ alkaline disposable batteries supplied
with the kit. NiMH and NiCD rechargeable batteries can also be used. Insert
the batteries into the battery compartment as shown below, ensuring the
batteries are inserted the correct way round:
WARNING: If the gauge is to be left unused for an extended period of time
then the batteries must be removed prior to storage.
Warning:Do not mix rechargeable and disposable batteries in the gauge.
3.4. Low Battery Warning
When the batteries become low, the battery symbol in the right of the display
in measurement mode and in the top right on the ‘Home’ screen will indicate a
decrease in battery power. It will change from green to orange as an advanced
warning, and to red when the battery level is critical.
When the batteries become very low it is advisable to replace them. Otherwise
after a short time the gauge will turn off automatically.

4. Probes
4.1. Introduction
All probes used with Tritex Multigauges are single crystal soft faced probes.
The table below identifies the different probe options and which probe is the
most suitable for different applications. All probes are colour coded to help
identify their frequency.
The single crystal means that measurements are taken using a straight path of
ultrasound, giving perfect linearity throughout the measuring range. The
probes are not affected by V-beam error.
4.2. Intelligent Probe Recognition (IPR)
All probes have IPR (Intelligent Probe Recognition). IPR transmits data from
the probe to the gauge so that it is instantly recognised. This includes data
such as the probe serial number, frequency, size and the unique signature of
the probe. The gauge uses this information to automatically adjust settings to
achieve the best performance. When a probe is connected, the display will
show ‘IPR Probe connected: 2¼ MHz 13mm’.
If a probe is connected that does not have IPR, the gauge will prompt the user
to select the correct setting from a list of probe options.
See ‘iProbe’ on page 14 for further details.

Suitable for Most thickness
gauging applications.
Works particularly well
on heavy corrosion,
especially the 19 mm
probe.
Will measure relatively
thin metal which is
corroded. Normally
used only if measuring
down to 2 mm is of
importance.
Ideal for measuring
thin metal in relatively
good condition. Not
advisable to use as
the main probe.

Tritex Multigauge 5700 Datalogger Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge www.tritexndt.com
Page 8
4.4. Probe Membranes
All probes are fitted with protective membranes to help prolong the life of the
probe. The membranes also provide a flexible interface which acts as an aid
when working on rough surfaces. Membrane wear should be monitored and
checked at regular intervals.
Normal Temperature Membranes
Standard membranes allow measurements to be taken on hot surfaces up to a
maximum of 70°C (158°F).
High Temperature Membranes
Teflon™ membranes are available for measurements on hotter surfaces. In
this case measurements can be taken on surfaces up to 150°C (302°F). Care
should be taken that the probe does not overheat. The probe should be
allowed to cool down in between each measurement. A high temperature
ultrasonic gel is advised for this application.

4.5. Changing the Membrane
i Unscrew the knurled ring (1) from the probe (4).
ii Using the membrane key (5), remove the retaining ring (3) from
inside the knurled ring (1).
iii Push the old membrane (2) out from the front.
iv Fit a new membrane (2) from the back and push it down until it
locates in the groove on the inside front edge.
v Refit the retaining ring (3) and secure it in place using the
membrane key (5).
vi Place a few drops of membrane oil (6) onto the face of the probe
(4). Do not use too much.
vii Screw the knurled ring (1) back onto the probe (4) whilst applying
pressure on the membrane (2) with the thumb to expel any air
from behind the membrane.
Note: Do not apply too much membrane oil underneath the membrane. Once
fitted, the membrane should be flat with no air bubbles trapped behind.
Warning: Never use a probe without a membrane fitted.
4.6. Care of Probes
All probes should be treated with respect. When taking measurements, they
should not be scraped or dragged along the surface. Although the membranes
will protect the probe against everyday wear and tear, they will not protect
against rough treatment and misuse.
Warning: Never try to repair a probe or try to remove scratches from the face
of the probe. This may result in further damage. Always return it to Tritex NDT
for investigation and possible repair.

fitted. Once ‘OK’ has been selected, the display will show ‘No Probe!’ on
the ‘Home’ screen and at the bottom right of the screen in measurement
mode.
6.4. Setting the Calibration
The gauge should be calibrated to the type of material that is being measured.
This is because all materials have different velocity of sound properties.
There are two methods of changing the calibration. Either adjust the velocity of
sound setting according to the metal being measured, or adjust the the gauge
to a known thickness of metal.
Gauges are supplied with the calibration set to mild steel at approximately
5900 m/s (0.2323 in/µs). This may vary according to the properties of the
supplied 15 mm test block material.
Note: The calibration does not need to be reset each time the gauge is used.
The last setting will be remembered.
Calibrating the Velocity of Sound
iNavigate to ‘Calibration’ on the ‘Home’ screen using the ‘Arrow’
keys (2,5,7 & 9). Use the Definition of Menu Items on pg 13 as a
guide.
ii Press ‘OK’ (4).
iii Use the ‘Left’ (2) and ‘Right’ (7) buttons to adjust the velocity of
sound to the the required new velocity.
iv Press ‘Option Key 2’ (6), the gauge will save the new calibration
and return to the ‘Home’ screen.

Coating Plus+mode is used to measure metal thickness when thick coatings
up to 20 mm exist. Normal measurement mode will ignore coatings up to
