1.2 Keypad
The keypad plays a role of mediator in the dialogue between human and machine. The keypad is
printed in Chinese and the layout of the keypad is shown in Figure 1-2. All the control instructions given
by the user to the flaw detector are finished entirely by the keypad. With the process of the keypad
operation, the instrument is able to identify various meanings of each key according to different
conditions and then to carry out the instructions of the operator. The detailed usage of each key will be
introduced respectively in the following chapters.

1.3 Display Screen
Press to power the instrument on (the probe is not connected), and the screen is shown as
Figure 1-3.
1.4 Basic Operation of the Instrument
During the operation of the instrument, directly press the corresponding menu key, and the relevant
menu will be displayed on the screen. There are 6 main menus in YUT-2600; and each main menu
consists of several sub-menus, which can be switched through up and down keys among the operation
pages. The selected menu is highlighted; and its value can be adjusted through left and right keys.
1.4.1 Power Supply
Using AC Adapter
Alternating current can be used to power YUT-2600 through an AC adapter. Plug the power output
terminal of the AC adapter into the socket on the YUT-2600. Pay attention to alignment of the red
spots on the socket when connecting the charger and the main unit. Otherwise, the instrument
doesn't work.
Using Batteries
A pack of exclusive rechargeable built-in batteries can be used in YUT-2800, as shown in Figure
1-4.

1.4.2 Probe Connection
When you use YUT-2600, we recommend using our stock probe connecting cable with the
appropriate probes. Various types of our standard stock probes can be used directly.
The probe should be plugged into the socket upside the instrument. When it is the mode of single
probe, the probe cable should be connected to T/R socket; when it is the mode of dual probe (one for
transmitting, the other for receiving), you should plug the transmitting probe into the T/R socket and the
receiving probe into the R socket. If these factors are not paid attention to, unfavorable results might be
loss or disordered echo waveform.
1.4.3 Switching On and Off the Instrument
Press to directly start up YUT-2600 and activate the standby mode. After the detection and
data storage, press to shut down the instrument.
1.4.4 Restore the Initial Parameters of the Instrument
If the instrument crashes or some functions are in disorder or the parameters of the instrument need
resetting, press twice before press (up) key or (down) key to select the submenu
resetting parameters. Then press (left) key or (right) key to adjust the parameters. When the
screen displays resetting parameters confirmation, press Ok to restore the parameters.
Note: after the instrument is initialized, all the parameters are reset to the factory defaults.

Chapter 2 Functions, features, and parameters of the instrument
2.1 Basic functions of the instrument
Wave peak memory: real time envelopes show the highest wave of the flaws and record the
maximum value of the flaws, it is helpful to position the flaws precisely and scan the work piece quickly.
With the help of envelope waveform, the quality of the flaws can be determined.
Automatic gain: automatically adjust the gain to the preset amplitude height
Alarming function: afferent echo/echo loss alarming
Real-time clock: automatically record and store the date and time of waveforms
Display freezing: catch waveforms and sound path data at any moment, and the gate can be moved
after freezing to measure the echo parameters
Flaw positioning: real-time display sound path S, horizontal X, depth Y, and wave height H
Digital Reject: 0-80%, increase by 1%, unaffecting the linearity and gain
Wave height reading: three display modes, namely relative wave height, dB difference relative to
the gate, and dB difference relative to DAC curve
Data communication: communicate with the computer through RS232 port to transmit waveforms
and data so as to manage the result of detection on the computer, and generate the flaw detection reports,

as well as print out reports
2 independent measurement gates, monitoring the echo amplitude and the sound path distance
When using transverse wave to detect flaws, the depths of the second and third waves are
automatically calculated according to the slab thickness.
Perfect DAC curve functions, the curves change along with the changes of the gain, sound path, and
displacement
2.2 Features of the instrument
The firm and durable YUT2820 are specially designed for the hostile site environment. The
pan-seal design which is particular in the nation enables it to defend against dampness, sandstorm, dust,
or pollution caused by all sorts of harsh environments from sea to desert.
Pan-seal design, including tool housing, battery case, fastening screws, and external interface
31 copper screw nuts are inlaid in the hard plastic casing
The innovative rotating positioning stand is convenient
The hand strap can be installed for both hands so that you can hold the machine with your left
or right hand
The probe interface is optional for BNC or Lemo
The D-shaped ring on the instrument is convenient for you to install a cheststrap
The nice surface of the casing is antiskid with eroded textures
Innovative high power lithium batteries of notebook style
Full screen function, the echo display area can cover the entire screen, which provide you with the
sense of the maximum window
Solid waveform display, the visual contrast of waveforms is increased so the undetection is hard to
happen when fast scan is carried out
Bulk storage, up to 1000 data sets can be stored, including waveforms, curves, and parameters
(containing the traditional 1000 channels)
Echo-echo thickness measurement, zero calibration is avoided, and the net thickness of the base
material can be directly measured through the coating
Two operation interfaces are available, i.e., Chinese and English
Easy to use, the user can master the operation method very fast
Squared ultrasonic pulse generator with changeable width and scope is initiative domestically.
It replaces the traditional method of matching probe by changing damping with adjusting the pulse
energy and pulse width. Thus, the probe can be exactly fit for the testing and the resolution and
penetrating power of the approaching surface can be enhanced significantly. It is specially fit for the
testing of large scale of forge piece, casting piece and non-metal with the requirement of higher
penetrating power and lower electric noise.

●The voltage of the pulse generator can be changed between 50V to 400V continuously, so that
no matter thin plate or hard-penetrated work-piece can be matched with the most fitful probe.
●The width of the pulse can be change d between 25ns to 1000ns continuously, so that the best
sensitivity can be realized with the help of different probes with different frequency.
Damping can be changed among 4 levels: 33/50/100/500Ω, so that the best performance of the
probe can be attained and the different requirements of the sensitivity and resolution can be realized.
Wave signal filter can be changed between 2 levels: 1-4MHz/0.5-15MHz. Each individual
advantage of narrowband and broadband filter can be achieved.
Repeating frequency can be changed freely to avoid unreal signal.
