Analog Ultrasonic Detection System

ULTRAPROBE® 2000

Designed for ease of use, it often takes no more than 15 minutes to become competent in testing with the ULTRAPROBE® 2000 Kit Complete.

Fast accurate diagnosis through the ULTRAPROBE 2000 System will dramatically reduce unplanned down time and shorten planned outage time.

The ULTRAPROBE is the most versatile diagnostic instrument you'll ever need.

EFFICIENT MAINTENANCE TESTING: Now practically all equipment in one section can be tested by ONE man with ONE instrument, providing more efficient scheduling of routine Preventive Maintenance procedures.

The ULTRAPROBE provides data acquisition through three modes: through auditory channels (via a headset that has been specifically selected for heavy duty industrial use), through a uniquely designed bi-modal analog meter, and through the ability to switch to auxiliary interfacing for chart recorders (optional), vibration data collectors, spectrum analyzers, DAT & standard audio recorder.

The ULTRAPROBE 2000 can be adapted to test practically any problem in operating equipment with such features as:

• FREQUENCY TUNING enables a user to tune into problem sounds while minimizing background interference.
• METER MODE selection adjusts the meter response from a real time response to an averaging response. This feature allows accurate adjustments for leak detection and for mechanical analysis.

The ULTRAPROBE 2000 heterodynes ultrasound into audible range providing accurate sound reproduction.

Sensitive only to ultrasonic frequencies, the Ultraprobe 2000 will not respond to the low frequency noises often associated with most plant equipment. The ULTRAPROBE can be effectively utilized in extremely loud environments.

CONSTRUCTION : Hand held metered pistol type made with anodized aluminum and ABS plastic

FREQUENCY RESPONSE : Detect ultrasonic frequencies between 20 kHz and 100kHz, continuously variable. Frequencies are converted to 100 Hz to 3 kHz audio.

PROBES :
Scanning Module : patented TRISONIC plug-in type consisting of a phased array of multiple transducers for airborne ultrasound. This probe is shielded against RF interface.

Rubber Focusing Probe (flexible) slips over scanning module to concentrate conical directivity and to shield reception of stray ultrasound. Also fits over Stethoscope Module to shield against high ambient ultrasound while unit is at maximum sensitivity.

Stethoscope Module : plug-in type, insulated probe with RF shielding; 4 1/2" (11.4 cm) long steel probe tip, conically shaped for uniform surface contact. Probe tip is interchangeable. Stethoscope Extension Kit: 3 piece, segmented metal rods to increase stethoscope contact range 20" (50.8.cm) and 31" (76.2 cm).

TRANSMITTER : Patented warble tone transmission

HEADSET : Noise isolating type: double headset wired monophonic, impedance, 16 ohms. Over 23 dB of noise attenuation. Meets or exceeds ANSI specification and OSHA standards.

INDICATORS : Ballistic output meter: linear calibration scale of 0-100 for logging relative measurements. Meter is accurate 1% throughout entire scale. Low level Battery LED indicator for main housing internal power supply.

BATTERIES : Self contained nickel-cadmium rechargeable. RECHARGING SYSTEM: Standard 110V. Also available in 220V.

FEATURES :
Frequency tuning adjustment dial: Scale 20-100 kHz with "fixed band" positions for ultra-narrow frequency response.

Bi-Modal Meter Switch for logarithmic and linear meter scale adjustments.

Optional auxiliary mode selection for chart recorder output: 0 - 50 mV, Precision 10 turn adjustment dial with numerically calibrated sensitivity increments for finite gain adjustment.

Sensitivity Control, A 10 turn numerically calibrated adjustable potentiometer. Spring loaded trigger switch.
