Cygnus Dive Underwater Wrist Mountable Thickness Gauge w/ Remote Probe

Features:

• 300 m (1,000 ft) depth rated
• Wrist-mountable, giving the diver a free hand
• A-Scan (selectable)
• Data logging – stores 5,000 measurements and A-Scans
• “Auto-Log” – no log button to press
• AMOLED display, easy viewing from all angles for diver and camera
• Multiple-Echo, error- checked measurements through coatings up to 20 mm thick
• Single-Echo – for use on uncoated surfaces with heavy back-wall corrosion/ pitting
• MSI™ Measurement Stability Indicator – exclusive to Cygnus, confirms a stable reading in Single-Echo and Echo-Echo modes
• Echo-Echo – for use on painted surfaces with heavy back-wall corrosion/ pitting (through up to 0.5 mm paint)
• HelmetView™ – optional remote display.

Kit Includes:

• Cygnus DIVE Gauge Body and Wrist Strap
• Ultrasonic Probe(s) with Coiled Cable
• Single Crystal probe: 2.25 MHz 13 mm (standard) S2C
• Two Rechargeable Batteries
• Membrane Couplant, 25ml bottle
• Battery Charger and Charger Base
• AC Mains Lead for Battery Charger
• Ultrasonic Couplant Gel (Blue), 100ml bottle
• Test Block 15mm (or ½”) thick in Mil Steel
• Spare Probe Membranes
• Membrane Key
• Silicone Grease, 50g tube

Probes:

Single Crystal Probes: Single crystal probes use the Cygnus Multiple-Echo technique which gives three sound pulses, this ignores coatings and provides error-checked verified readings.

Twin Crystal Probes: Twin crystal probes measure in Echo-Echo and Single-Echo modes. This adds versatility for specific applications such as on extreme back wall corrosion.

Options:

TOPSIDE REPEATER WITH VIDEO OVERLAY

Allows real-time thickness measurements and calibration settings to be overlaid on the dive monitor screen. Also supplied with a hand held repeater unit.

• Measurements superimposed on to a composite PAL or NTSC video signal
• Overlay can be re-positioned anywhere on the screen
• Measurements and locations recorded on the survey video.

SURFACE REPEATER

The Cygnus DIVE can be connected to a laptop on the surface running *CygLink software. This can then be used to log readings and control gauge settings, for example the velocity of sound. Reports and graphical analysis can then be produced and saved. (*For more details, visit the CygLink Software page in PRODUCTS > THICKNESS GAUGING ACCESSORIES section).

HELMETVIEW™

Developed by Cygnus for divers in black or limited visibility water. The small remote OLED display is mounted just in front of the lens on the diver’s helmet. With adjustable brightness, the thickness measurement is clearly visible to the diver. When auto-log is being used, the HelmetView™ display will indicate when the reading is logged.

DATA LOGGING

A data logging DIVE gauge has the capability to store 5,000 measurements with individual A-scans to its internal memory. The auto-log feature allows readings to be logged without pressing any buttons. DIVE gauges can be supplied as data logging or a standard unit can be upgraded later remotely. CygLink is a Windows® application used for uploading data from a data logging gauge, for reporting and analysis. When used with a DIVE gauge and an umbilical cable to the surface CygLink displays thickness measurements and A-scans at the surface in a linear format. Measurements can be logged from the surface, plus gauge settings, including the velocity of sound, can be controlled from the surface. Each recorded measurement can have up to 8 short preset text comments added to it. Data can be displayed in a survey report document, including A-scans, and can be exported as a .csv file (Microsoft Excel®).
