Safety information
Batteries
A Attention:
The USM 35X is an instrument for materials testing.
Any use for medical applications or other purposes
is not allowed!
The USM 35X may only be used in industrial environments!
The USM 35X is waterproof according to IP 66. The
USM 35X can be operated with batteries or a power
supply unit.
The power supply unit has the electrical safety class II.
1-2
For the battery operation of the USM 35X, we recommend the use of a lithium-ion battery. The operation
using alkaline batteries, NiMH or NiCad cells is likewise
possible. You should only use the products recommended by us for the battery operation.
You can charge the lithium-ion battery within the instrument itself or in an external battery charger. If you want
to use NiMH or NiCad cells, you have to charge them in
an external battery charger.
As soon as you connect the power supply unit to the
USM 35X, the battery power supply is interrupted. If a
lithium-ion battery is inserted, the charging process
starts automatically when you connect the instrument
to the mains supply. Please refer to chapter 3.1 on
power supply, and to chapter 7 on how to handle
batteries.
Software
According to the current state of the art, software is
never completely free from errors. Before using any
software-controlled test equipment, please make sure

Introduction
Operator training
It is the task of those with overall responsibility for testing to ensure that the inspector is fully informed about
these requirements. The best basis for such information
is experience with identical test objects. It is also essential that the relevant test specifications be clearly
and completely understood by the inspector.
GE Inspection Technologies regularly holds specialized
training courses in the field of ultrasonic testing. The
scheduled dates for these courses will be given to you
on request.
Introduction
Limits of testing
The information obtained from ultrasonic tests only
refers to those parts of the test object which are
covered by the sound beam of the probe used.
Any conclusions from the tested parts to be applied to
the untested parts of the test object should be made
with extreme caution.
Such conclusions are generally only possible in cases
where extensive experience and proven methods of
statistical data acquisition are available.
The sound beam can be completely reflected from
boundary surfaces within the test object so that flaws
and reflection points lying deeper remain undetected. It
is therefore important to make sure that all areas to be
tested in the test object are covered by the sound beam.

Initial start-up
Power supply
The charging time is 10 hours with a simultaneous ultrasonic inspection. If the instrument is not being used
for ultrasonic inspections, the charging time is 8 hours.
This charging time applies to ambient temperatures
from 25 to 30 C. Please take into consideration that
the batteries are not charged to their full capacity at
higher temperatures.
External charging
Lithium-ion batteries can be charged by means of an
external battery charger. We recommend the battery
charger with the order number 35 297. To charge single
NiCad or NiMH cells, you need the external desktop
battery charger with the order number 101 729.

Rotary knobs
The USM 35X is equipped with two rotary knobs.
The left-hand rotary knob enables you to directly set

the currently selected function.
The two rotary knobs enable both step-by-step and
accelerated settings. You can define a setting step by
step by slightly operating the rotary knob which will
snap into place at the next setting. To accelerate the
setting, operate the rotary knob continuously, i.e. at a
constant speed. This enables you to quickly bridge
great differences between the settings.

General notes
Please pay attention to the following notes when measuring with the USM 35X.
Condition for measurements is the correct instrument
calibration (sound velocity, probe delay).
All amplitude measurements are carried out at the
highest or the first signal in the gate.
H Note:
Always keep in mind that the measured value is determined at the intersection point of gate and echo flank
when the function TOF was set to flank. A correct setting of the echo height and gate threshold is therefore
decisive for accurate calibration and measurement!
Calibrations or measurements in the peak mode are
mostly not possible when using dual-element (TR)
probes. As the echoes are often very broad and jagged,
a clear echo peak cannot always be found in these
cases.
5.8 Measuring
5-23
Operation
Measuring
The following example shows the dependency of distance measurement on the echo waveform, i.e. on the
height of the gate threshold and thus on the selection of
the intersection point at the signal.
H Note:
The point of amplitude measurement is marked with a
small upward triangle on the corresponding gate bar.
The point of distance measurement is marked with a

Echo comparison
You can compare the echo of any reflector of your
choice with the reference echo. The displayed result is
the dB difference of the two echoes.

The dB difference is independent of any possible gain
variation.

Operation
Besides the default settings for the instrument operation, you have to configure the USM 35X for calibration
and test tasks. You will find the corresponding functions
in the function groups MEAS, MSEL and LCD.
In addition, you have to check the current time and
date, and set them if required, so that they are correctly
stored together with the test results. Please look up the
function groups CFG1 and CFG2 for more functions for
the general instrument setup (please refer to chapter
5.15 General configuration).
5-43
Operation
When adjusted to flank or jflank the sound path measurement is made at the point of intersection of the
monitor gate with the rising flank of the highest echo in
the gate.
A Attention:
The highest echo in the gate does not have to be the
echo for which the sound path has been measured. This
may lead to false echo evaluation!
5-44
Operation
In TOF mode peak the sound path and amplitude measurement is made at the maximum of the highest echo
in the gate.

Operation
A Attention:
In any case, the adjustment of the measuring point for
calibration and for the subsequent test use must always be identical. Otherwise measurement errors may
occur.
