NTAGE gaff HAND-HELD FULLY FEATURED EDDY CURRENT FLAW DETECTOR Ms. INTRODUCING THE VANTAGE VANTAGE ii c' We are delighted to introduce the VANTAGE which now provides our clients with a comprehensive solution for their manual Eddy Current Flaw Detection demands. // John Hansen, MD ETHER NDE, a UK-based manufacturer of Eddy Current products, introduces the VANTAGE Eddy Current Flaw Detector. The VANTAGE is ETHER NDE's first hand-held and fully featured Eddy Current Flaw Detector, which allows true single hand operation, leaving the operator free to use their other hand to scan with a probe. The VANTAGE specification and 1 VANTAGE features are comprehensive and will appeal to users in Aerospace, Offshore oil, Petrochemical, Power Generation and Rail/ Axle Inspection industries. With a full colour display and a compact and robust enclosure, the VANTAGE is ideal for use in all on-site and factory environments. IMAGE VANTAGE This image shows the VANTAGE at its actual size. 10.7cm (4.2") Day and night time screen modes. Full daylight visibility. Bright 3.5" (320 x 240 pixels) Display ensures a clear and crisp view. Easy to use function keys. 7.3cm (2.9")/ Designed to sit comfortably in the hand avoiding fatigue due to optimal weight distribution. 41410nii VANTAGE 2 FEATURES & APPLICATIONS VANTAGE / ADVANTAGES N e APPLICATIONS Perfectly balanced for comfortable single-handed operation. Surface Crack Detection and Assessment Lightweight 0.8kg (1.8Ibs) with rugged housing. Sub-surface Defect Detection of Non-ferrous Materials Automatic lift-off setting. Hole Inspection Separate connector for Absolute and Reflection / Bridge Probes. Weld Inspection Training Schools 3.5" easy to read, bright, high-resolution (115 DPI / 0.22mm pixel) display. Materials Sorting Dual Frequency Tube Inspection PC-based analysis and reporting utility software for easy analysis Corrosion Assessment and reporting included with the Instrument. TRUE HAND-HELD WITH ROBUST OUTER-CASING The VANTAGE is a true hand-held Flaw Detector, allowing comfortable operation over the duration of a shift. Sensitively designed to sit comfortably in the operators hand and housed in a robust ABS enclosure meeting IP64, the VANTAGE will withstand the harshest of site environments. LIGHTWEIGHT At just 0.8kg, the VANTAGE has earned its place as one of the lightest Eddy Current Flaw Detectors available. Compact and available with a specially sculpted, lightweight protective leather sleeve, the VANTAGE will comfortably fit in most tool boxes. 1 3 VANTAGE VANTAGE EASY TO READ SCREEN The VANTAGE screen is clear and crisp and easily viewable in daylight. The bright colour display screen is 320 x 240 pixels providing excellent resolution aiding accurate and rapid defect interpretation. The ability to switch easily between a white or black menu screen allows the operator to tailor the VANTAGE to their own individual preference. USER FRIENDLY INTERFACE AND MENU The user interface incorporates a simple side-bar menu allowing direct access to key instrument parameters and yet can be instantly switched to "full-screen mode." The menu system is intuitive and any experienced Eddy Current Operator will quickly be comfortable using the instrument. A time-based Strip Chart is available to assist with faster and more reliable defect detection. EASY REPORTING AND ANALYSIS A USB cable and reporting software are included free of charge for documentation of results on laptops or desktop PC's. The USB connector allows trouble free data transfer and software upgrades. Maximum data processing rate is up to 8kHz. VANTAGE can store 200+ recordings at a 1kHz data processing rate of up to 240 seconds each. WIDE RANGE OF COMPATIBLE PROBES The instrument has both a Lemo 00 Connector for absolute probes and a Lemo 14-way Connector for Rotary, Bridge and Reflection Probes. Signal-to-noise ratio is excellent, allowing greater probability of detection and the VANTAGE performs equally well with Pencil, Rotating, Weldscan and other Probes. ETHER NDE also supply Probe kits for all our instruments and are able to design a kit specific to your individual application needs. Please feel free to contact us for further details about this. VANTAGE 4 SCREENS VANTAGE As explained previously the VANTAGE boasts a high brightness screen with excellent resolution and the choice of white screen for daytime viewing or black screen for night viewing. Below is a sequence of screens from 'testing' to 'reviewing the results' to demonstrate the quality of the VANTAGE'S screens and the simplicity of its menus. At ETHER NDE we believe that ease of operation is key to the success of our products. DHANNEL SETUP ..1= r',../F, Hz > P. G, Mix 2600000Hz 2600000Hz 22 22 EJU, 2 dB > G., ca 10. OdB 10. OdB 10.
