Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Edison-1 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge used for?
The Edison-1 is the basic model in Modsonic’s Edison series of ultrasonic thickness gauges. It measures the wall thickness of any homogeneous material that transmits ultrasonic energy — including most metals, hard plastics, glass, and ceramics — from one accessible side, without needing to cut or dismantle the component. It is accurate, reliable, and robust for general-purpose thickness measurement in industrial environments.
What is the measuring range and accuracy of the Edison-1?
The Edison-1 has a measuring range of 1 mm to 300 mm depending on the test material, transducer, surface condition, and temperature. It offers a resolution of 0.1 mm and an accuracy of 0.1 mm up to 60 mm, and 0.5% above 60 mm when used with the standard probe DT 201. A built-in V-path correction improves accuracy further.
How is the Edison-1 calibrated?
The Edison-1 uses a simple one-step calibration method for steel. The velocity range is adjustable from 1000 m/s to 9999 m/s to accommodate different materials. This makes calibration quick and straightforward even for operators with basic training.
What type of probe does the Edison-1 use?
The Edison-1 uses a Dual Crystal (Transmitter-Receiver) type probe with a detachable probe cable. A full range of probes is available for all applications, allowing the instrument to be adapted to different material types, surface conditions, and thickness ranges.
What is the battery life of the Edison-1?
The Edison-1 operates on two standard AA size Penlite dry cells (alkaline or NiCd) and delivers 18 to 20 hours of operating time with alkaline batteries. A low battery indication is provided by blinking of the LCD, and an auto power-off activates after 3 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
What does the Edison-1 display show?
The Edison-1 features a large 4-digit LCD display that shows thickness readings, velocity, battery check status, coupling check status, and stored readings with IDs. An optional EL backlight is available for use in indoor or dark environments. The sealed tactile touch keypad protects the instrument in dusty and wet conditions.
What is the weight and size of the Edison-1?
The Edison-1 is extremely compact and lightweight, measuring 125×65×30 mm and weighing only 225 grams with batteries — making it one of the most portable thickness gauges in the Edison series and easy to carry for on-site inspection work.
