Introduction of the DEEPSOUND M3

Seongsan Lab’s DEEPSOUND M3 device is a pioneer in its class for South Korean domestic

market that targeted for providing a high quality, portable and highly efficient, user friendly

ultrasonic inspection using PA-UT (phased array UT technology).

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PA-UT) is used for a flaw detection, sizing, and imaging.

PA-UT technology has the ability to modify electronically the acoustic probe characteristics.

The device offers following features & dimension of spacing with high-performance and

efficiency with portability.

DEEPSOUND M3 with PC – The device is developed to enable control and data collection

and analysis by using built-in PC, unlike regular PAUT devices does not include. Since it can

store and manage equipment. It has various advantages such as reducing the risk of losing

data and uniformity of management.

32 channel /256 element system PR – Innovative phased array system, up to 32 simultaneous

active channels and 256 in total. 32 indicates the maximum number of simultaneously active

beam-forming channels, whereas 256 indicates the total number of available probe elements.

With the same processing power, the system can adapt focal laws to conduct inspection on

complex surfaces. In addition, you can connect two Phased array probe at the same time

through two Mini DLP connector without extension connector.

Bipolar Pulse wave type – While other PAUT device uses Unipolar Pulse wave method, but

DEPPSOUND M3 adopts Bipolar Pulse wave method which is recognized in medical

ultrasonic technology, therefore device will generate clear signal with less noise.

Dynamic Sample Focusing – In the receiving phase of ultrasonic signal, the signal

components collected from several oscillators are separated into the noise component and

signal component by the calculated Focus value at the specific position. Conventional PAUT

device uses Dynamic Depth Focusing method to acquire signals with different focus values

with every 10mm, but DEEPSOUND M3 uses Dynamic Sample Focusing to calculate focus

every 0.06mm by varying the value to obtain a better signals.

DEEPSOUND M3 with software - The M3 device properly works with remote PC running

Windows Xp, Windows 7 or Windows 10 and Seongsan Lab’s DSVision software. However

M3 includes computer inside, PC is remotely used for send/receive data, as PC will be

referred as “Host” in this document. Since DEEPSOUND M3 is driven by Seongsan Lab’s

powerful DSVision software platform, M3 offers advanced data acquisition and analysis.

Additionally, it can dynamically adapt focal laws to conduct inspections on complex surfaces.

In terms of performance point, M3 device is capable of handling data files in high speed, which

gives extra feature to users to increase scanning speed without losing its quality

For more information about DSVision software, please see the software user manual,

application or unintended hazardous action, since this document provide all

information you may need.

3.1 Proper standing spot for DEEPSOUND M3

M3 device is relatively lighter (appx. 12.5 kg) than other market products, therefore device

can be used on the desk, floor or other flat spaces.

Since M3 met the safe and light performance in hardware matter, but safety is still essential.

Therefore we recommend users to use M3 device always makes sure positioned away from

heat sources, and leave a distance of at least 5-10 cm in front of the fan outlets, unless Air

Intake feature not in access.

Important: It is recommended to that device should positioned close to a power outlet that

could avoid disconnect unexpectedly in some manner.

Also, we encourage you to not block cooling fan for while intentionally or not.

4. Maintenance of DEEPSOUND M3

Regarding good working conditions of M3 device, following section will provide basic

maintenance instructions. M3 has designed to require minimal maintenance.

4.1 Cleaning the DEEPSOUND M3

The M3 external cases (front and side panel) can be cleaned under some circumstances.

To clean the device:

Always make sure the device power cord is disconnected and turned off completely.

Keep in mind that device body surface is better to cleaned with a soft clothing

material.

We strongly recommend users to not clean the device with liquid, especially when

device is turned on. Liquid could make the device partially or wholly inoperable,

or when connectors stay wet without immediate drying process, it may produce a

short circuit when plugging cables.

Wait until the device dries completely before plugging into the power cord or any

other cables.
