Cygnus Dive Multiple Echo Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

Features
The latest innovation from the pioneers of the digital multiple echo ultrasonic thickness gauge, the Cygnus DIVE is designed for the professional diver and is accurate, reliable and easy to use. Worn on the diver’s forearm, it gives an invaluable free hand while performing thickness surveys.

Made from a tough glass-filled resin, the Cygnus DIVE can withstand all the knocks and bumps of the diving environment. A large bright colour TFT screen displays the thickness measurements in big numbers that really stand out - choose the display colour that suits you.

Simple Operation
Like all Cygnus products, the Cygnus DIVE has been designed for easy operation. There are no gates to set up, no gain to adjust - just turn on and go. There are two buttons for quick and easy menu navigation using one hand, from here you can access all the functions of the gauge guided by intuitive, clear menus.

Rechargeable Batteries
Power is supplied by a replaceable, rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack that gives up to 10 hours continuous operation.

Measurement Technology
The Cygnus DIVE uses the trusted Multiple Echo Technique first developed by Cygnus over 25 years ago.  With minimal surface preparation, the Cygnus DIVE will measure metal thickness through paint and other coatings, even light marine growth. The Multiple Echo Technique ensures only genuine, verified thickness measurements are displayed.

Ultrasonic Probe
The ultrasonic probe is connected to the Cygnus DIVE by a coiled double jacket cable and rugged locking connector. The coiled cable will extend up to 1 metre in length for reaching around structures. A replaceable membrane ensures long probe life.

A-Scan Display
To assist with the verification of thickness measurements, and to help locate suitable ultrasound reflectors on badly corroded metal, the Cygnus DIVE can display an AScan graph of the ultrasound received. When a multiple echo thickness measurement is detected the ultrasound peaks used are clearly marked to aid measurement confirmation.

Surface View
The A-Scan graph can be viewed at the surface on a computer using Cygnus DIVELink software and the A-Scan graph is also recorded when data logging thickness measurement points.

Data Logging Option
The Cygnus DIVE can store up to 5000 thickness measurement points in internal flash memory.

Auto-Log
Thickness measurements are recorded using an Auto-Log feature that saves each stable measurement - this means no ‘log’ button for the diver to press.

A-Scan Graph
Along with the thickness measurement, a copy of the A-Scan graph is also saved.

Reporting
Data logged measurements are easily transferred from the Cygnus DIVE to a computer using the DIVELink software supplied. From there a paper report can be produced or the thickness measurements can be exported to a spreadsheet.

Grouping
Measurements can be split into groups by simply starting a new group via the DIVE’s easy to use menu.
