Sonatest D-10+
Light weight
Digital Ultrasonic Flaw Detector
Quality, performance, and reliability
repackaged
The Sitescan D-10+ delivers high performance and advanced
features, yet it is easy and quick to use. The acknowledged ease of use of
previous generation Sitescans has been enhanced with the menu navigation
scrollwheel, providing easy access to functions. The menu structure has been
designed to guide the user through their task with operation quickly becoming
second nature.
The Sitescan D-10+ has a board band amplifier compatible
with a wide range of transducers. The analogue feel from the high quality
broadband amplifier shows all the detail required to identify defect types such
as holes or cracks, and sufficient resolution for identifying small signals.
Typical applications are weld inspection, corrosion testing, small casting,
forgings and delaminating checking.
Lightweight Ergonomics
The Sitescan D-10+ represents a new generation of portable
digital flaw detectors. It’s ground breaking ergonomic design has been evolved
to make it comfortable for day-long use. A large screen display has not been
sacrificed to achieve compact dimensions given the Sitescan D-10+ one of the
highest display to size ration of any field instrument.
High Visibility Display
For any flaw detectors the display is a crucial element.
The Sitescan D-10+ has large colour transflective TFT display as standard,
providing high visibility at any light level. The choice of colours for menus
and waveform display enhance clarity, with the LCD simulation mode giving
direct sunlight readability. The TFT does not suffer the typical black out
problems or temperature limitation of LCD giving full weather capability. The
Full Screen mode made maximises the A-scan area to improve readability further
whilst testing and its fast response and peak capture function ensure any
indications is clearly displayed, even if it only appears for one cycle of the
PRF.
Robust and Adaptable
Sonatest’s reputation for robust design and proven
reliability is an important aspect of flaw detector ownership. Down time is
expensive and should be minimised to ensure maximum productivity. The Sitescan D-10+
is constructed to high standards using engineered polymers and sealed to IP67
and is designed to incorporate many features to make site work easier. The
integrated pipe stand is adjustable to give easy positioning, whilst the
standard camera mount fixing on the back opens up wide variety of useful
accessories such as magnetic hooks, tripod mounts and body harnesses. The
Sitescan D-10+ unit can be easily attached to pipe work, metal plates or hung
from the nearest fixing, giving the user both hands free for scanning.
SDMS Lite (Data Management Software)
This Windows based data management tool interfaces the Sitescan
D-10+ to a PC. The Lite version comes as standard, with the capability to
capture the displayed A-scam and transfer it to Microsoft Word. This is useful
for producing application notes or reporting indications. The optional full
version uploads and downloads panel settings and A-scans, which can also be
transferred into Excel for more advanced analysis such as charts for B &
C-scans.
Navigation
The Sitescan D-10+ uses a 3rd generation
innovative rotary control wheel for fast, single handed menu selection and
setting changes. The tactile, durable keypad uses new technology to increase
resistance to water, along with mechanical switches for enhanced lifetime.
Simply slide tour thumb or finger around the unique scroll-wheel to quickly
access menu items or change parameters. The scroll wheel offers the advantages
of a rotary knob, but has no moving parts to become damaged, or blocked by
couplants.
Direct Access Keys
From Sonatest’s experience of flaw detector design we know
users want direct access to the essential parameters of gate adjustment and
gain control. These are positioned close to the scroll wheel, so it easy to
swich between gain, gates, and the menu with one hand. There are also direct
keys for freezing the scan and switching to full screen mode.
User Buttons
The Sitescan D-10+ has unique User Keys that can be assigned directly to menu items or actions. The system works in the same way as the present radio buttons in your car. Highlights the menu item you want and hold the User button for a few seconds, to assign the key. Using the four keys operators can define their own direct access functions based on the application. The keys can also be assigned actions, such as one press storing of A-scans and auto 80% adjustment of echoes.
