The ED-1100 is a microprocessor-based impedance plane Eddy Current instrument which offers high sensitivity, versatility and simplicity of operation. The instrument will locate surface and near-surface defects and conductivity changes in magnetic and non-magnetic materials. The ED-1100 uses absolute, differential and reflection probes to detect flaws or determine properties such as conductivity, hardness, alloy type and heat treat condition. The three modes of operation include: flying dot mode for flaw detection, flying dot with storage mode for comparison purposes, and timebase mode for bolt hole scanning. This Eddy Current instrument is used for a variety of applications including detecting flaws in aircraft wheels, struts, propellers, hubs and engine components and on automotive brakes, spindles, internal engine components, steering and chassis assemblies. The ED-1100 is used in research, maintenance and quality control, to verify test results and check materials for fatigue.


The ED-1100 is easy to operate and requires minimal understanding of the principles of Eddy Current testing. The automatic balance/ null feature substantially reduces set-up time for manual operation and application studies. The liquid crystal display is protected by a replaceable scratch shield and can be backlit in poor lighting conditions This instrument is capable of using a wide variety of probes and coils. Absolute, differential and reflection probes designed for other Centurion NDT products, are all compatible with the ED-1100. Digital frequency selection, probe drive and impedance adjustments, allow the operator to optimize the system performance for whatever probes or coils are selected. The accessory connector can be used to connect a chart recorder, audio gate or TTL output. Battery charger/power supply is available for 110V or 220V operation. The instrument comes with probe cable adapter which connects to the face of the unit. The front panel of the instrument includes the following fingertip push-button and dial controls:
