Cygnus 1 Ex is the new generation of Intrinsically Safe thickness gauge, replacing the highly successful Cygnus 1 IS.
CYGNUS 1 Ex – Intrinsically Safe Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
Description
Designed for taking reliable thickness measurements in Zone 0 Explosive Atmospheres and boasting advanced data logging and manual measurement mode. The Cygnus 1 Ex features a large colour LCD display and 3 measuring modes for through-coat measurements and various materials – including heavily corroded metals.
Key features of the Cygnus 1 Ex advance intrinsically safe ultrasonic thickness gauge:
- Certified Intrinsically Safe to ATEX, IECEx, UKEX for Zone 0 and NRTL for Class 1, Division 1
- 3 measuring modes for levels of corrosion, various materials and through-coat measurements
- Manual Measurement Mode allows gates and gain to be configured to suit your application
- Live A-Scans aid visual measurement verification
- Live B-scans give a quick, cross-sectional representation
- 4 function keys for easy controls and dynamic views
- Deep Coat function ignores thick coatings
- User Access feature protects records with correct user access levels
- Measurement setup can be saved and restored for a quick start
- Measurement Freeze function and Ref/Min/Max thickness limits
- A solid-state electronic instrument with a rugged IP67 rated enclosure
- Basic, Professional and Advanced models with options of upgradeable features.
