PLUG-IN MODULES
TRISONIC
TM
SCANNING MODULE:
This module is utilized to receive air-borne ultrasound such as the ultrasounds emitted by pressure/vacuum leaks and electrical
discharges. There are four prongs at the rear of the module. For placement, align the prongs with the four corresponding jacks in the
front end of the pistol housing and plug in. The Trisonic
TM
Scanning Module has a phased array of three piezoelectric transducers to
pick up the airborne ultrasound. This phased array focuses the ultrasound on one "hot spot" for directionality and effectively
intensifies the signal so that minute ultrasonic emissions can be detected.
STETHOSCOPE (CONTACT) MODULE
:
This is the module with the metal rod. This rod is utilized as a "waveguide" in that it is sensitive to ultrasound that is generated
internally such as within a pipe, bearing housing or steam trap. Once stimulated by ultrasound, it transfers the signal to a piezoelectric
transducer located directly in the module housing. The module is shielded to provide protection from stray RF waves that have a
tendency to effect electronic receiving and measurement. The Stethoscope (Contact) Module can be effectively utilized in practically
any environment ranging from airports to broadcasting towers. It is equipped with low noise amplification to allow for a clear,
intelligible signal to be received and interpreted. For placement align the four prongs on the back with the corresponding receptacles in
the front of the pistol and plug in.

ACCESSORIES
A. STANDARD ACCESSORIES
HEADSET
:
This heavy-duty headset is designed for use with or without a hardhat and can block out intense sounds often found in industrial
environments so that the user may easily hear the sounds received by the ULTRAPROBE. In fact, these headphones provide over 23
dB of noise attenuation.
WTG-1 WARBLE TONE GENERATOR
:
The WTG-1 Tone Generator is an ultrasonic transmitter designed to flood an area with ultrasound. It is used for a special type of leak
test. 'When placed inside an empty container or on one side of a test item, it will flood that area with an intense ultrasound that will not
penetrate any solid but will flow through any existing fault or void. By scanning with the Trisonic
TM
Scanning Module, empty
containers such as pipes, tanks, windows, doors, bulkheads or hatches can be instantly checked for leakage. This Tone Generator is a
WARBLE TONE GENERATOR
. This internationally patented transmitter sweeps through a number of ultrasonic frequencies in a
fraction of a second to produce a strong, recognizable "Warble" signal. The warble tone prevents a standing wave condition which can
produce false readings and provides for a consistency of testing in practically any material.
