Analog Ultrasonic Inspection System

ULTRAPROBE® 550

Ultrasonic Leak Detection & Mechanical Inspection so sensitive it can hear the human eye blink.

Designed for ease of use, it often takes no more than 15 minutes to become competent in testing with the ULTRAPROBE 550.

Fast accurate diagnosis through the ULTRAPROBE 550 system will dramatically reduce unplanned downtime and shorten planned outage time.

The ULTRAPROBE 550 heterodynes ultrasound to the audible range providing accurate sound reproduction.

Ultraprobe's versatility makes it ideally suited to work with any plant program:

• Predictive maintenance (PDM)
• Energy Conservation
• Safety
• Quality Assurance (QA/QC)
• Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
• Process Safety Management (PSM)

Ultraprobe provides data acquisition through three modes:

1. Auditory Channels (via an acoustically isolating headset)
2. Analog Meter
3. Demodulated Signal for vibration data collectors and FFT's

What it means to be an ULTRAPROBE

When UE SYSTEMS introduced the first ULTRAPROBE to the world, it immediately changed the course of conventional inspection and predictive maintenance procedures. Current methods of ultrasonic leak detection, mechanical inspection and electrical inspection were all pioneered and perfected through this remarkable instrument. As it has evolved through the years, the name ULTRAPROBE continues to shine as the leading example of advanced technology and assured quality. When you see the name ULTRAPROBE, you can be assured of product reliability, technological excellence and total product support.

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