Detailed Overview

The HPX-DR detector is unique in design – coming standard with a rugged, weatherproof enclosure perfect for remote field work. Unlike other panels that claim a weatherproof design when used inside their protective carrying case, this detector has an IP57 enclosure rating without the protective case! With the HPX-DR you can stop wrapping your DDA panel in bags and keep working in rain, snow, mud or whatever Mother Nature throws at you!

Reduced Exposure

• DDA panels are highly sensitive. Combine this with the ability to do frame averaging and you will likely be able to reduce your exposure time and still capture the sensitivity needed for your critical inspection task.

Faster

• Uses no disposable media in the process, eliminating cassette loading and unloading time, developing, processing and reloading for the next shot. The HPX-DR detector offers quick start up and calibration, and rapid image display after acquisition. Produce high quality digital images in seconds for immediate analysis.

Easier

• The HPX-DR detector is lightweight and compact with an all-weather design that is simple to operate. In the lab, it can be operated on a powered tether and in the field it can run 100% on battery. With the ‘hot swap’ feature the panel can remain on when changing batteries, increasing uptime.

Wireless

• The HPX-DR detector can operate completely wireless giving the user full freedom of movement and minimizing set-up time on site. This is especially helpful for rope access teams looking for minimal weight, high sensitivity and a powerful wireless connection.

High Resolution

• The HPX-DR images have a 139µ pixel pitch and 139µ spatial resolution that can reveal small details. All powered by our INDUSTREX image analysis software with the most advanced NDT post-capture tools for image measurements, enhancements and analysis.

Top Features & Benefits

• WIRELESS Ultimate hands free with robust wireless (802.11 A/N or G) secure data transfer, long distance communication and live panel monitoring. Get the most out of your wireless with reliable, mobile access point for extended range and a strong wireless signal.
• COMPACT DESIGN Rugged design with a durable aluminum frame and carbon fiber cover. Panel thickness is just 14.7 mm (0.58”) one of the thinnest in the industry making it easy to slide between objects.
• CLOSE-TO-EDGE IMAGING The HPX-DR image area is slightly offset, allowing you closer access to the panel edge for profile work. This panel can fit between pipes and captures near edge so you can see and measure the outer wall.
• HIGH RESOLUTION 139µpixel pitch is one of the best available, allowing for high quality imaging and defect detection. Multi-frame averaging improves the quality while reducing the overall noise in the image.
• IP57 ENCLOSURE The only panel with this high a degree of protection against liquid. Unlike others that need a special case for protection from the harsh elements of field work, the HPX-DR is built to meet IP57 enclosure standards.
• INDICATORS Multiple indicator lights on the panel edge communicate panel status, battery information and wireless connectivity. Its easy for the user to see at a glance the condition of the panel.
• FLEXIBLE POWER Powerful lithium-ion batteries allow users to make many images. When tethered the batteries automatically recharge or you can purchase a 3-battery quick charger to keep production moving. Battery ‘Hot Swap’ feature keeps the panel running during change. Magnetic tether stays attached but can break away if needed to eliminate damage to the panel connection in the event of a drop or pull. Power saving mode when panel has not been activated for a period of time.
