ProcessReduce DowntimeWhen plant equipment is idled for refractory lining inspection,in-service weld inspection, and ongoing maintenance,timely inspection is vital to resume operations. The EverestXLG3 system streamlines inspection to get systems up andrunning quickly.Setting up and searching for power drops and routing cordscan take longer than the actual inspection. Report-writingback in the office can also consume hours each day. TheEverest XLG3 system with optional battery power eliminatesthe need for worksite power. And with real-time DVD writingand portable workstation features, reports can be generatedduring the inspection.The Everest XLG3 system gets you up and working quicklyand QuickChange probes allow you to change probediameter and length in the field to meet varying inspectiondemands.Sophisticated Yet Easy to UseAn on-screen, drop-down menu guides the user through thesystem’s versatile options.On-Board File ManagerThe file manager lets you create, move and store filesbetween folders in internal or external memory.Versatile Features for Process Intuitive and easy to use High-resolution, wide VGA LCD screen Portable Up and running quicklyEverest XLG3 VideoProbe7

Power GenerationGo PortableWhether climbing atop a combustion turbine, into a boilerpenthouse or up to a wind turbine gearbox, power generation industry inspections are demanding and physically challenging, making equipment portability important. The EverestXLG3 system is designed to be carried to any inspection siteand sit securely in tight spots.Twice the LightSteam headers, feedwater heater shells and attemporatorshave large, dark spaces to navigate and inspect. The EverestXLG3 system delivers twice the light output as previous generation video borescopes to provide clear, bright images.Portability and ConvenienceMove freely – remove the unit from the case, carry it conveniently and use the system for up to two hours withthe attachable battery/UPS. An integrated storage reel for theprobe and a nested handle for the handset enhance the portability and safety of the Everest XLG3 system.Versatile Features for Power Generation Compact portable package 2x light output improves visibility in large areas One-hour or two-hour capacity battery/UPS option Rugged tool for tough environments Adaptable probe lengths from 2 to 8 metersOne- or two-hour capacity battery/UPS facilitates confined space work.Everest XLG3 VideoProbe9
