2.4 Airborne sound sensor BS10 accessories
The intensity and behavior of ultrasonic signals depend on factors such as the process during
which they are generated. Options for verifying and recording the signals and for providing
these to the user in high-quality format so that sensible statements can be made with regard to
system conditions are also dependent upon a number of different factors.
In order to guide signals to the ultrasonic microphone on the airborne sound sensor BS10 in a
high-quality format, a number of different attachments are available for different testing tasks. In
order to ensure optimal results, please observe the fields of application for the accessories as
well as the corresponding instructions.
Small acoustic horn BS10-2
Attachment for airborne sound sensor BS10 (standard)
The channeling and directing of the ultrasonic signals via the small, funnel-shaped horn BS10-2
improves the signal strength at the ultrasonic microphone. This allows for the verification of
damaged areas at medium distances. Using the target laser allows the area to be narrowed
down for subsequent precise location.
Note:
Use the precise locator BS10-1 for extremely accurate verification.
Large acoustic horn BS10-3
(optional)
Attachment for airborne sound sensor BS10
Application:
Location of damaged areas at
large distances
If the systems and system components being tested are large distances apart, the large
acoustic horn should be used to narrow down the search area. The funnel pools the ultrasonic
signals over large distances, allowing for verification with the SONAPHONE. Areas where
ultrasonic signals can be verified in this way can then undergo precise location using the precise
locator BS10-1.
Note:
Continue with precise location using the small acoustic horn BS10-2 or use the precise
locator BS10-1 to accurately locate damaged areas.
