label: Contains: The CE marking is a declaration that this product conforms to all the applicable directives of the European Community See the Declaration of Conformity for details The WEEE symbol indicates that the product must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste, but should be collected separately The C-Tick label indicates that the product complies with the applicable standard and establishes a traceable link between the equipment and the manufacturer, importer or their agent responsible for compliance and for placing it on the Australian market The China RoHS mark indicates the product’s Environmental Friendly Usage Period (EFUP) The EFUP is defined as the number of years for which listed controlled substances will not leak or chemically deteriorate while in the product The EFUP for the EPOCH 600 has been determined to be 15 years Note: The Environmental Friendly Usage Period (EFUP) is not meant to be interpreted as the period assuring functionality and product performance The direct current symbol Labels and Symbols DMTA-10007-01EN [U8778365], Rev A, May 2010 Table Contents of the rating and the serial number labels (continued) SERIAL The serial number is a 9-digit number in the following format: yynnnnnmm where: yy Production year nnnnn Unit number manufactured that month mm Production month For example, the 100000504 serial number indicates that the fifth unit (00005) was produced in April 2010 Labels and Symbols DMTA-10007-01EN [U8778365], Rev A, May 2010 Do not touch the inner conductor of the BNC (or LEMO) connectors to avoid risks of an electric shock Up to 400 V can be present on the inner conductor The warning symbol between the Transmit/Receive (T/R) and the Receive (R) BNC connectors shown in the figure below indicates this

outlines the procedure for setup and storage of the most basic and common file type, the calibration file For full details and procedures on standard and optional file types, see the EPOCH 600 User’s Manual (P/N: DMTA-10006-01EN) 2.5.1 Calibration Files To setup and save a calibration file on the EPOCH 600, first complete all ultrasonic and software setups that will be saved within the calibration To complete all ultrasonic and software setups Select the File menu Press the Create key to enter the file creation screen The Create screen appears (see Figure 2-19 on page 40) In the File Type box, use the knob or arrow keys to select Cal Use the [NEXT GROUP] key to advance to the Filename box In the Filename box, create a file name (cannot exceed 32 characters) by pressing the Edit parameter key Figure 2-19 The Create screen 40 Chapter DMTA-10007-01EN [U8778365], Rev A, May 2010 Use the knob or arrows to navigate through the virtual keypad (see Figure 2-20 on page 41) Insert a character by pressing INS (see Figure 2-20 on page 41) Figure 2-20 The virtual keypad Use the [NEXT GROUP] key to complete the file naming process For creation of an incremental (Inc) file, you must first

below: 42 • Create: Creates the file in memory but does not open this file as the active storage location Typically used when creating several files at once without saving data • Open: Creates the file in memory, and then opens it as the active storage locations, but does not save any file parameters to the file until you press [2ND F], (SAVE) Typically used for inspection files, where the file is created prior to the start of the inspection Chapter DMTA-10007-01EN [U8778365], Rev A, May 2010 Appendix: Parts List Table EPOCH 600 basic kit (spares can be purchased) Part Number U8 Number
