ETher NDE Vantage Eddy Current Flaw Detector
| The ETher Vantage is a handheld, full featured Eddy Current Flaw Detector, which allows for single handed operation, leaving the operator free to use the other hand to scan with a probe. The Vantage specifications and features are comprehensive and will appeal to users in Aerospace, Offshore, Petrochemical, Power Generation and Rail / Axel Inspection industries. With a full color display and a compact and robust enclosure, the Vantage is ideal for use in on-site and factory environments. |  |
 | The display screen is 320 x 240 pixels providing excellent resolution aiding accurate and rapid defect interpretation. The user interface incorporates a simple side-bar menu allowing direct access to key instrument parameters that can be instantly switched to full-screen mode. The menu system is intuitive and any experienced Eddy Current operator will quickly be comfortable with this instrument. A time-based strip chart is available to assist with faster and more reliable defect detection. |
| The Vantage is a true handheld Flaw Detector, weighing just 13/4 pounds (0.8 kg) and is well balanced, allowing comfortable operation over the duration of a shift. Housed in a rugged ABS enclosure meeting IP65 splash proof requirements, the Vantage will withstand the harshest of site environments. Incorporating a Nickel Metal-Hydride Battery Pack, 6 hour battery life is typical in the standard modes and 4 hours in rotary mode. |  |
 | The instrument has a single pin Lemo 00 Connector for absolute probes. A 14 pin Connector for Rotary, Bridge and Reflection Probes. A USB Port for connection to a PC.The USB cable and reporting software is included at no additional cost. |
