• Wide 10Hz – 20MHz frequency range, single or dual frequency.
• Lightweight 1.15kg, ergonomic and rugged over-moulded design.
• Optional thumbwheel for rapid menu navigation.
• Toughened, anti-glare, daylight readable 14.5cm colour display with screen protector.
• Designed to meet IP64, with IP68 rated connectors.
• Over 7 hours battery life with fast 2.5 hour charging.

Overview

The AeroCheck 3 was redesigned using feedback from inspectors. A blended PC-ABS case with over-moulded rubber withstands impact, oil exposure and UV, while moulded “bars” at the rear give a comfortable grip during long inspections, with or without gloves. A toughened screen, improved connector access and an optional encoder wheel make it suited to everything from engine blades and discs to fuselage, wings, wheels and landing gear.

Rotary C-scan as standard

The AeroCheck 3 works with the ETher Mercury (mini) ARD002, Hocking 33A100 or Rohmann MR3/SR1/SR2 drives (with adapter cable). The high-resolution C-scan produces an image of the bore, allowing individual layers in an inspected hole to be visualised. Data is stored as a full array with up to two frequencies, and you can still adjust gain and phase after the test, which helps you spot small defects. Up to 10,000 scans can be stored on the 32GB SD card.

Advanced features

• Trace – store a reference trace on screen to compare live data against calibration.
• Guides – display PowerPoint slide shows of procedures and tutorials alongside the live test.
• Loop – capture a repetitive signal and optimise phase, gain, filters and display in real time.
• Dual frequency & Auto-Mix – suppress unwanted signals such as lift-off with a one-key mix.
• Conductivity – the unit detects the conductivity probe and switches to conductivity mode automatically (KACON001 kit, no software fee).
• Record & replay – up to 164 seconds of live data, reviewable on the unit or on PC with ETherMap.
