Industries & Applications

The AeroCheck 3 has been designed with operator convenience and efficiency in mind at every stage of the design and manufacturing process. A key advantage of the AeroCheck 3 is its ability to work identically for left- and right-handed operators, thanks to the original "Flip" screen rotation function. What's more, all the important keys are in the same position regardless of whether the instrument is used in right- or left-handed mode. Its robustness is guaranteed by an impact-resistant plastic casing. The AeroCheck 3 is also a dual-frequency device. With a conductivity probe automatically recognized by the device, it can be used as a conductivity meter. As an option, a thumbwheel is available for quicker menu navigation and setting changes.

Easy-to-use "ALL-IN-ONE" menu

AeroCheck features a simple, single-level general menu. Any general menu item can be stored on the function bar (displayed along with the signal) with its own easily recognizable icon, enabling rapid adjustments during inspection. There are 4 operator-programmable positions and a fifth for the last function used in the menu. To enable the operator to use the device with ease, it also features a multi-function softkey (Screen Erase, Screen Capture, Auto Phase, Auto Load, Screen Rotation, Screen Freeze Setting and Reference Signal). There are also 2 quick buttons for setting phase and gain. In addition, in full-screen mode, it is possible to display a quick menu with the parameters essential for control (frequency, Phase, Connector, Load, Filters, Gains). All function button settings are stored in setups.

Connectors

Under the protective cover is a USB socket for fast data transfer and PC control. A μSD card slot for storing settings and data (over 500 with a 2Gb card). The VGA port enables the device to be used with a video projector. The AeroCheck 3 works with absolute, bridge-mounted or reflection probes, connected to a standard LEMO 12 socket (like the main equipment on the market). So you can use the cables and probes you already have. It also has a LEMO 00 socket for connecting absolute probes with a simple LEMO00-MICRODOT cable.

Extraordinary autonomy

With almost 7 hours of autonomy with a 100kHz weld probe, the AeroCheck 3 is the obvious choice for long inspection days. The device can easily be used in the field for a full day's work without having to return to recharge it. Even better, the additional power pack for AA batteries can extend the battery's operating time by up to 4 hours.

Large color display

The AeroCheck 3 can be used in all types of weather and light conditions. It features a 14.5cm diagonal color LCD screen with 640 x 480 pixel resolution, ensuring excellent visibility and resolution in all conditions. The operator can configure his own choice of colors and display types. Signals can be displayed in impedance plane, time base, cascade or galvanometer mode.

Loop (settings after screen freeze)

AeroCheck allows you to finish setting several parameters such as Phase, Gain and filters after freezing the signal with all types of probes, including rototest.

Galvanometer

Bore control (via mini rotors)

The AeroCheck can drive various mini rotors. These are used to rotate differential probes to find faults in bores. The devices are capable of driving several mini-rotors of different makes: - ARD001 and ARD002 from ETHER NDE - MR3 from ROHMANN via special cable - SR1 and SR2 from ZETEC via special cable

Signal comparison

The TRACE function can be used to display an already stored signal for comparison purposes. An operator can thus have the trace of the standard at the same time as the part signal.

Conductivity

Many aeronautical procedures require conductivity monitoring. TheAeroCheck automatically switches to this mode when the conductivity probe is connected, and returns to fault-finding mode when it is disconnected.

Dual-frequency

With different settings on the same probe, it is possible to subtract (mix) part of the unwanted signal. For example, a plate signal during a tube inspection. It is also possible to control two probes with two separate settings. Easy to use, with a menu for each channel: - red for channel 1 - blue for channel 2 - green for the mixing channel
