Versatility & Convenience

The MMX Series has arrived! These gauges are the answer to

both versatility and convenience in every way! The MMX series

denes versatility by combining features like: Fast Scan, Alarm

(audible/visual), and data logging, along with multi-mode for

reading through and eliminating the thickness

of painted or coated materials. The MMX demonstrates

convenience by making all these features available to the

user with just the touch of a button.

Conveniently toggle between pulse-echo mode

(detect aws & pits), and echo-echo mode

(eliminate paint & coating thickness), to cover all

your inspection requirements. No need

to remove or allow for errors due to paint

and coatings. The MMX gauges use a highly
damped dual element style transducer for both

modes, eliminating the need to switch between

transducer types.

The MMX gauges are packaged in an all alu-

minum sealed case, making them rugged

and resistant to the working environ-

ment—Dakota’s trademark.
