Corroded walls and irregular surfaces require the dual-element corrosion gauges of the ZX or CMX series.  <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1760700000001\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which probe should I order with the PZX1-DL?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The probe is not included. For very thin thicknesses choose a delay-line probe (15 MHz, \u00d8 1\/4&#8243;); for general use on machined parts a Finger Tip contact probe of 5 or 10 MHz, \u00d8 1\/4&#8243; or 1\/2&#8243;.

Optional RS232 and Bluetooth modules are available for data collectors and custom apps.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1760700000003\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does the PZX1-DL measure through paint?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, in Echo-Echo and Interface-Echo modes the instrument returns the thickness of the base material only, ignoring the coating. In Pulse-Echo, however, the reading also includes the paint layer. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1760700000004\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long does the battery last?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">About 35 hours with two alkaline AA batteries (18 hours with NiCad). The instrument can also be powered via USB-C from a PC or power supply and switches off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n<p class=\"ndt-torna-su wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#indice\">\u2191 Back to index<\/a><\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Request a quotation for the Dakota PZX1-DL<\/strong><br\/>Our technical team will help you choose the probe and the precision configuration best suited to your applications. <a href=\"https:\/\/ultrasuonindt.it\/en\/contact\/\">Contact us<\/a> for dedicated advice.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further information and contacts <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.roder.it\">Systems division and sensor integration partner : www.roder.it<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/ultrasuonindt.it\/chi-siamo\/\">More information about RODER SRL : about us<\/a><br\/>Contact for general information : <a href=\"mailto:info@roder.it\">info@roder.it<\/a><br\/>Contact for information about these products : <a href=\"mailto:info@roder.it\">info@roder.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>The information contained on this web page is provided for information purposes only.
