Overview

ECHO FD is our portable ultrasonic flaw detector in the same field-proven case as our popular ECHO series. Our ECHO FD represents a breakthrough in terms of cost, size and ease of use for your everyday flaw detector. ECHO FD can even toggle from a flaw detector, corrosion or precision thickness gage making it the smallest and most affordable unit in the world to offer such a vast application set. Our new hand-held ultrasonic flaw detector is packed with many useful and practical features including:

Software Options

All ECHO FD Software Options are field upgradeable via the keypad. Danatronics offers a unique and convenient way to upgrade your gages. The upgrades are done directly from your gage and do not require the use of a computer.

The following software options are Field upgradeable:

Bluetooth Available as an optional upgrade for all ECHO series gages. The bluetooth software option also requires internal hardware modification on the PCB (does not affect other specs, IP rating or require additional power source). Allows ECHO to export data such as thickness readings or files to another device via internal bluetooth. DataXL mobile can be used to facilitate the transfer of information on IOS and Andriod phones and tablets. DataXL Mobile is coming soon in the Apple store and Google Play Store.
