Probe Adaptor. This adaptor allows you to use a BondMaster probe with the Bondmaster C-scan
complete solution. Make sure that the adaptor is correctly connected to the probe and OmniScan to
ensure proper functioning of the solution.

To connect the adaptor


1. Connect the adaptor to the 4CH connector on the OmniScan instrument.
2. Install the probe on the XY Scanner.
3. Connect the adaptor to the probe connection.
4. Use the CompactFlash MXB card.
5. Select the version (if necessary).
6. The default setup is automatically loaded.

Casing and Application Module Cleaning


To clean the casing and acquisition module
1. Make sure that the instrument is turned off, the power cord is disconnected, and the batteries have
been removed.
2. Disconnect all cables and connectors, and make sure that all external ports on the OmniScan have
been covered with their rubber protectors.
3. Make sure that the battery compartment door is securely closed, and that an acquisition module
has been installed on the OmniScan.
4. To restore the instrument’s original finish, clean the casing and module with a soft cloth.

Do not immerse in water or expose to liquids. The adaptor is not protected against water ingress.
