Spectro-UV® announced the launch of the XP-3000 AccuELITE™, a premium digital radiometer that sets new standards for portable UV-A and visible light measurement. In an industry where measurement accuracy and reliability are paramount, professionals have long faced a critical challenge: balancing the need for continuous, uninterrupted monitoring with the limitations of portable power solutions. The XP-3000 addresses this challenge head-on with industry-leading 24-hour battery life and rapid 5-10 Hz measurement response, directly addressing key operational challenges faced by NDT professionals and quality control specialists across manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and industrial inspection sectors.
Key product advantages include:
- Extended Operation: Up to 24 hours of continuous battery life eliminates measurement interruptions. Unlike conventional radiometers that require frequent battery changes or constant connection to power sources, the XP-3000 enables full-shift operation and multi-day field deployments. This extended runtime means technicians can focus on their inspection work rather than managing power constraints, leading to more efficient workflows and reduced downtime.
- Real-Time Performance: 5-10 Hz measurement updates provide instant feedback for dynamic applications. This rapid response rate allows operators to immediately identify variations in UV intensity during critical processes such as fluorescent penetrant inspection and magnetic particle inspection. The real-time data stream enables on-the-spot adjustments and ensures optimal curing conditions for UV-sensitive materials and coatings.
- Professional Accuracy: Better than ±5% accuracy with NIST-traceable standards compliance. This level of precision ensures that measurements meet the stringent requirements of quality management systems and regulatory frameworks. Each XP-3000 is calibrated to NIST-traceable standards, providing documentation that satisfies audit requirements and ensures consistency across multiple measurement locations and facilities.
- Industry Compliance: Meets ASTM E2297 requirements for MPI and FPI applications. Compliance with this critical standard ensures the XP-3000 is fully qualified for use in aerospace, automotive, and industrial NDT applications where adherence to established protocols is mandatory. This certification eliminates concerns about measurement validity and provides confidence that inspection results will be accepted by quality auditors and regulatory bodies.
The XP-3000 AccuELITE™ delivers critical operational benefits:
- Maximizing Productivity: Enable extended production runs and long-term data logging without the fear of interruption. The 24-hour battery capacity supports continuous monitoring during extended manufacturing shifts, overnight curing processes, and long-duration quality control studies. This eliminates costly workflow interruptions and ensures complete data capture for comprehensive process validation.
- Ensuring Data Integrity: Conduct overnight tests and critical monitoring with the confidence that power will not fail. For applications requiring sustained measurement over extended periods, the XP-3000 provides the reliability necessary to maintain unbroken data chains. This is essential for validation studies, stability testing, and compliance documentation where gaps in measurement data can invalidate entire test sequences.
- Achieving Total Mobility: Execute field work in remote locations, free from the constraints and concerns of external power sources. Whether conducting inspections on aircraft in remote hangars, evaluating UV systems in offshore facilities, or performing quality checks at customer sites without readily available power, the XP-3000 provides true measurement independence. This freedom enables professionals to work efficiently in any environment without the burden of power adapters, extension cords, or backup battery packs.
"The XP-3000 AccuELITE™ represents our commitment to solving real-world challenges for measurement professionals," said Tony Allan, CEO. "By combining extended battery life with rapid response times, we've eliminated the traditional trade-offs between portability and performance."
Advanced Features for Professional Users
The XP-3000 is engineered with a comprehensive suite of professional-grade features designed to enhance usability and measurement efficiency. The instrument features a large 4-digit auto-ranging backlit LCD display that ensures excellent readability in any lighting condition, from dimly lit inspection areas to bright outdoor environments. The display automatically adjusts its range to show measurements in the most appropriate units, eliminating the need for manual range selection and reducing the potential for reading errors.
The intuitive one-touch PEAK function captures and holds maximum readings, enabling technicians to identify peak UV intensity values during sweeping measurements or when evaluating fluctuating light sources. This feature is particularly valuable when documenting maximum exposure levels or verifying that UV sources meet minimum intensity requirements at critical measurement points.
User-defined power saving settings allow operators to customize the instrument's energy management to match their specific workflow requirements. Whether prioritizing maximum battery life for extended field work or favoring continuous operation for laboratory applications, the XP-3000 adapts to individual needs. The intelligent power management system automatically adjusts display brightness and measurement update rates based on user preferences while maintaining measurement accuracy and responsiveness.
