Powering ON

When connected to a VDC Power Supply the Ultrapro 500 will begin to run a self-diagnosis program

Signal Quality (SQ value)

SQ value is short for Signal Quality. It indicates the level of the signal detected. SQ value is indicated by numbers from 0~99. 00 is the minimum signal that could be detected and 99 represents the maximum. Normally, the transducer position should be adjusted repeatedly and coupling compound should be checked frequently until the signal quality detected is as strong as possible.
