Phasec 3 Series Flaw Detectors

Phasec 3 Series Flaw Detectors

The Phasec 3 series eddy current flaw detectors have been designed to detect flaws on ferrous and non-ferrous metals and is suitable for almost all eddy current applications. Phasec 3 offers full phase functionality in an ultra-compact package which can fit into a toolbox, briefcase, or even your pocket.

Features

Three Types of Flaw Detetectors

Phasec 3 Series Eddy Current Flaw Detector

Easy to Read

The Phasec 3 Series employs a ¼ VGA TFT large bright color screen, with a choice of eight color combinations, so that viewability can be optimized for specific situations according to personal taste. Unlike monochromatic displays, which are temperature-dependent, there is no need to adjust the contrast when the display temperature rises. High resolution display and large clear text fonts also add to the readability of the instruments and ensure that operators no longer have to stare at dim, blurred images.

Easy Interpretation

Color coding is the key to the ease of signal interpretation of the new range of flaw detectors. As each channel is assigned its own color, color coding is used to highlight specific data, to allow easier, more reliable and faster interpretation of displayed signals. With color it is possible to differentiate the graticule from the signal and different colors can be used for comparison between stored and active traces.

Operators also have choice of display mode of phase plane, Y/t or bar graph to further enhance ease of interpretation.

Lightweight, Rugged & Portable

Portability is a major feature of the Phasec 3 Series. Instruments weigh just 1.1kg including batteries and are roughly the size of a hard backed book. Each instrument is housed in a tough, robust case and instrument internals have been designed to resist most moist, tropical or salt-laden atmospheres. While offering a large display the instrument housing is kept as compact as possible. The batteries of the Phasec instruments allow up to 6 hours operating life with none of the adverse memory effects of more traditional batteries. Furthermore the instruments have been specifically designed to allow the interchangeability of accessories such as probes, cables and test pieces, reducing the amount of kit the operator needs to purchase or carry around for inspections.

User-friendly and Versatile

Operating controls of the Phasec 3 series are based on the Locator and Phasec series user interface. Consequently, operators with knowledge of these instruments can become proficient within a few minutes.

Every instrument has a menu system that is easy to read and navigate. Its operation is intuitive. Set ups are rapid. They can be stored and recalled at any time.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Advanced colour LCD allows easy viewing in all ambient light situations.
  • Signal colour coding enhances signal interpretation and trace recall mode allows easy comparison.
  • Display can be phase plane, Y/t or bar graph.
  • Easy computer connectivity with the integrated USB connection and fast data exchange using supervisor software.
  • Increased instrument memory can store up to 200 set-ups and 200 traces.
  • Light weight and portable with up to six hours battery life.
  • Compatible with all commonly used eddy current probes.

Built-in Reporting software, Large Memory and USB Connectivity

Phasec 3 series instruments are compatible with our unique Windows-based reporting software package, Supervisor PC, which allows operators to download both data sets and screen images for reporting purposes.

The on-screen menu allows all functions to be set and stored in the on-board memory, which has the capacity for 200 set-ups and 200 traces.

An integral USB connection port permits fast data exchange with the Supervisor software. Once the data is transferred to the PC it can easily be used to produce reports, to print and archive.

Advanced Alarms

Phase 3 series flaw detectors are equipped with a digital alarm system to prevent flaws from being overlooked. Alarms, which can be audio, visual or both, cover the full screen and can be configured to meet specific requirements. The virtual LED display also shows when the spot is in the active alarm area.

Digital Precision

Phasec 3 series instruments incorporate a number of precision digital features, which lead to better quality inspection. These include:

  • Advanced filtering
  • High accuracy frequency and filter setting
  • Auto balance with automatic load selection
  • Auto lift off
  • Instantaneous balance (1 key press)
  • Trace record
