Confirm the reading displayed on the Non - Destructive Test Instrument corresponds to the taggant level of the Master Standard. Note: Either Master Standard (95% or 67%) may be used. If you are measuring
15、 unmixed materia l, use the 95% Master Standard; if you are working with mixed material, the 67% Master Standard may be used. d. If necessary, adjust the readout display on the instrument to match the level of the Master Standard. Refer to the Appendix and Manufacturer s manual for specific instruct

Running the Verimet N7700 Non-Destructive Test Instrument: (This step is to be performed once the Verime
29、t N7700 has been set up and verified) 1. Turn POWER on, and allow a 20 - minute warm - up period. 2. Ensure the re is no extra metal near the eddy coil as this may interfere with operation of the instrument. If necessary, place the coil on a non - metallic surface. Note: metal supports underneath a
30、tabletop may cause magnetic interference. 3. Move the cursor to CYCLE and press ENTER 4. Place the 95% Master Standard in the coil. Observe the reading displayed on the Verimet N7700. The reading on the instrument represents the taggant level of the sample being tested. Thus, a reading of 95 represe
31、nts 95.0%, and a readi ng of 67.0 represents 67.0%. If the reading does not read 95+/ - 1, perform the following steps to correct the readout: a. Record the current reading of the 95% Master. Let this value by A1. b. Solve the following equation for A2: A2=95 - A1 c. Press ESC to return to the main
32、menu. d. Move the cursor to DIAGNOSE and press ENTER two times. e. Mover the cursor to GAINS/OFFSETS and press ENTER. f. Record the current value for AMP OFFSET. Let this value by A3. g. Solve the following for A4: h. A4=A3+A2 i. Move the cursor to AMP OFFSET and press ENTER. j. Change the value to the number calculated for A4. k. Press ESC four times to return to the main menu. l. Move the cursor to CYCLE and press ENTER. m. Verify that the reading on the 95% master now reads 95+/ - 1. 5. The instrument is now ready to test the tagged specimens.
