DXR250C-W, DXR250U-W Wireless Digital Detectors

Portable, Wireless and Robust
Enabling the inspection of field installations to be more flexible and efficient

Based on GE’s expertise in medical and industrial radiography and supported by various customer success stories across different segments, the development of the DXR250C-W and DXR250U-W wireless digital detectors is a logical progression to our product portfolio.

These new digital detectors are specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of industrial radiographic inspections.

Portable

DXR250C-W - The 8”x8” detector weighs just 3,5 kg (7lb) and has a thickness of only 25 mm (0.98”). Ideal for places which offer difficult access and where utmost portability is needed.

DXR250U-W - With a larger imager size of 16”x16” the detector weighs only 5 kg (11 lbs) and has a thickness of only 26 mm (1.02”). The detector can be used for a wide range of radiographic applications covering medium to large sized objects.

Wireless

The detectors use wireless and battery-operating technology. Simplifying handling and operation. And leading to overall productivity gain for its users.

- Robust wireless operation (802.11 g, up to 80 m communication range, WEP2 security) with online wireless strength detector temperature and remaining detector battery power monitoring
- Access Point mode with portable access point for extended range
- Ad-hoc communication for fast image transfer
- Optional power saving mode to increase battery usage

Robust

With its industrial packaging and ruggedized design, the digital wireless detectors handle the toughest environments.

- Ruggedized design with shock absorbing panel support (shock, water and dust protected housing)
- Carbon fiber front window
- Shielded electronics for improved radiation protection
- Optional hard-shell with additional tie-off points and shock bumpers for additional mechanical protection

The Power of Rhythm

The new Rhythm RT DR Acquire provides additional functionality for portable wireless detectors and allows operators to acquire images in a non-proprietary and reliable DICONDE format.

A new wireless—dashboard for ease of operations and troubleshooting includes tools to determine detector connectivity and to monitor relevant conditions such as wireless signal strength or battery status. New acquisition modes such as synchronized operation for pulsed X-ray sources and increased exposure time per frame to up to 150 sec, enables the detector to expand in new applications.

Together with Rhythm Review the entire portfolio of image enhancement-, administration-, reporting- and archive-modules can be accessed on one DICONDE compliant platform (Enterprise Archive, Flash!Filters, Wall Thickness-Measurement, Report Generators, etc. ) and adapted to the individual customer workKow and application needs.

Rhythm RT Lite: A special entry-level version of Rhythm that supports simple, intuitive out-of-the-box image aquisition and processing.

Both portable wireless detectors can be used with the full DICONDE compatible Rhythm RT Lite and open up a path to digital inspection in a very economical way.

Key Segments and Applications

• Mechanical integrity for small, medium and large sized parts
• Wall thickness, corrosion, erosion
• Weld quality
• Pipe and tube quality
• Heat exchangers
• Small and large bore piping
• Pipe supports touch point corrosion
• Rope access in all types of petro-chemical and other industrial environments

Flexible Operating Modes

• Both detectors can be operated from hot-swappable on-board battery or from the optional power supply
• Wireless con?gurations with ad-hoc or access point hosted communication

DXR250U-W: Optimized for a wide range of radiographic inspections

The DXR250U-W builds up on the established application space of GE’s portable 16x16” detector series DXR250V. The new detector utilizes the same wireless and battery technology of the DXR250C-W. This extends the use to a versatile digital inspection system especially for medium to larger objects.

Optimized battery, wireless technology and packaged for the toughest environments, the DXR250U-W will deliver additional productivity for radiography inspections in the celd. DXR250U-W is fully compatible to most DXR250C-W accessories and Rhythm installations.

Universal & Portable

Even with a larger imager size of 16”x16” the detector weighs only 5 kg (11 lbs) and has a thickness of only 26 mm (1.02”).

The detector can be used for a wide range of radiographic applications covering medium to large sized objects.
