Introduction
CYGNUS MINI ROV Mountable Ultrasonic Thickness
Gauge
The
Cygnus MINI ROV Mountable Ultrasonic Thickness
Gauge
(Cygnus MINI ROV Gauge)
is designed for high-reliability
thickness measurement using the Multiple-Echo technique. The
Gauge is a lightweight gauge designed to be mounted on smaller
submersible ROV craft.
Fully-waterproof, the Cygnus MINI ROV Gauge can be used both
underwater and in air and is pressure tested to 500 metres’ water
depth. It is supplied with dedicated PC-software for displaying and
logging thickness readings at the surface.
The Gauge is supplied with one ultrasonic Probe. The Probe type
must be specified at the time of purchase of the Gauge. Probes
are not freely interchangeable – please consult with
Cygnus
if you
wish to use a different Probe with the Gauge.
The Gauge is a solid-state electronic instrument which, under
normal operating conditions, will give many years of active
service.
Although designed for ease of operation, first time users
should carefully read this manual to familiarise themselves
with the features of the Gauge.
