Digital flaw detectors
that set standards of
performance and reliability
For over 20 years the Masterscan name has meant
exceptional performance with class leading design,
the 380M continue this tradition. The latest
developments in amplifier and pulser technology
deliver higher levels of near surface resolution,
penetrating power and excellent signal to noise
ratio.
Typical applications are thin walled components,
turbine blades, spot welds, power generation
(including EMATs), large castings and forgings.
Unique ActiveEdge™ Transmitter Technology
The Masterscan series has an ActiveEdge™ transmitter
that drives the pulse on both the leading edge
and trailing edge. This development enhances
near surface resolution and removes the need
for sensitivity reducing damping resistors.
The added control achieved by the design helps
the Masterscan optimise characteristics for
a wide range of transducers, reaching even higher
performance.

Robust and Reliable
Sonatest's reputation for robust design
and proven reliability is an important aspect
of flaw detector ownership. Down time is
expensive and should be minimised to ensure
maximum productivity. The Masterscan series
is constructed to high standards using Xenoy
plastics and sealed to IP67, giving excellent
water resistance so it can withstand the
tough environments in which operators work.
The Masterscan comes with 2 years warranty,
extendable to 5 years with Sonacover, and
a worldwide service network.

High Performance with
Total Control
The 380M delivers high performance and advanced
features, yet our engineer's experience in user
interface design has ensured it is easy and
quick to use. The acknowledged ease of use of
previous generation Masterscans has been enhanced
with the menu navigation key, providing easy
access to functions. The menu structure has
been designed to guide the user through their
task with operation quickly becoming second
nature.
High Visibility Display
For any flaw detector the display is a crucial
element. The Masterscan has a colour transflective
TFT display as standard, providing high visibility
at any light level. The choice of colours for
menus and waveform display enhance clarity,
with the LCD simulation mode giving direct sunlight
readability. The TFT does not suffer the typical
black out problems or temperature limitations
of LCD giving full weather capability. The new
Full Screen mode maximises the A-scan area to
improve readability further whilst testing and
its fast response and peak capture functionality
ensure any indication is clearly displayed,
even if it only appears for one cycle of the
5 KHz PRF.
SDMS (Optional
Sonatest Data Management Software)
This Windows based data management tool
allows the user to interface a Sonatest
digital flaw detector with a PC. The
software uploads and downloads panel
settings and A-scans, which can also
be copied and pasted into Word for customised
reporting. Thickness readings can be
transferred directly into Excel with
the ability to produce charts for B
& C-Scans, colour 3D mapping etc.

Systems Integration
The 380M has additional features designed to
integrate with automated test systems. The high
5 KHz PRF, interface trigger (IFT) and back
wall echo attenuation (BEA) make it an ideal
flaw detector for many system applications that
require portability or the need to support manual
inspection with the same unit. Proportional
outputs and alarms update at the PRF, so high
speed testing is easily handled, and full remote
control via USB interface provides fast set
up changes.
