INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

Thank you for purchasing the 

CTRL UL101 Ultrasonic Inspection 

System

 (UL101). You have made the right investment for the operational, 

maintenance, and quality control needs of your organization. When used 

on a regular basis, the UL101 is a valuable tool for diagnosing potential 

problems, identifying cost saving opportunities, and increasing production 

and profit. 

 

The UL101, originally designed for the U.S. Military, is now used in 

several industries throughout the world for 

condition-based monitoring

quality control

, and 

leak detection

. The UL101 Receiver detects and 

converts ultrasound signals produced by industrial machinery and 

vehicles into easily recognizable audible sounds (within the human range 

of hearing) so the user can evaluate the operating condition of bearings 

and gears, detect pressure or vacuum leaks, and identify electrical 

problems, such as corona discharge – even in extremely noisy plant 

environments.  

 

Tightness and integrity testing can also be performed on non-pressurized 

tanks, lines, pipes, and other vessels with the UT2000 Universal 

Transmitter (included in the CTRL UL101 Full Kit).  

 

With the CTRL UL101, early warning signs and defects can be detected – 

thus preventing costly repairs, safety-related injuries, and downtime. 

 

It is the goal of CTRL Systems, Inc. that you receive the highest return on 

investment for your purchase of this system and that it makes your daily 

maintenance and operations activities easier. This manual is designed as 

a complimentary resource to the Technology Training CD that you 

received with the UL101. On-site training is a great way to introduce 

ultrasound technologies to your team.  See page 20 for details.
