4. OVERVIEW
A. PISTOL-GRIP HOUSING
DISPLAY PANEL:
In the Operation Mode the Display Panel will show inspection parameters such as intensity levels (as dB and as a bar graph),
Frequency, Battery Level, Sensitivity Level, Sensitivity Value, “Display Mode” and Function Select Field. Intensity levels are shown
simultaneously as a numeric dB value and on a sixteen segmented bar graph (with each segment representing 3 dB). The Frequency is
adjustable from 20 kHz to 100 kHz. These represent the range of frequency selection capable with the Ultraprobe. The most common
frequency used for general leak detection or electrical inspection is 40 kHz. These frequencies may be "tuned in" when performing
inspections with any of the Ultraprobe’s plug-in modules. The Display Mode indicates the operation mode of the instrument. This is
indicated on the display panel as
RT
for
Real Time
,
PH
for
Peak Hold
,
SS
for
Snap Shot
, or
RTO
for
Real Time “Offset”
,
PHO
for
Peak Hold “Offset”
and
SSO
for
Snap Shot “Offset”
. (For additional information about Offset see
dB Scale Select
in the Set Up
Mode Section.
TRIGGER ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH
:
The Ultraprobe is always "off' until the trigger switch is pressed. To operate, press the trigger. To turn the instrument off, release the
trigger. The time it takes for the instrument to turn off after release of the trigger can be set in the
Set Turn Off Time
mode described
later.
NOTE
: To save the battery charge, if the instrument is set in the “Trigger Shut Off Mode (set up 17), it will automatically turn
off after approximately 5 minutes.
I/O PORT
:
This is the RS232 port for upload/download information transfer, including heterodyned sound output. Align the pins from the cable
and plug in. Note: before downloading data be sure the cable is connected to both the I/O port and to the computer or other hardware
(vibration analyzer, tape recorder, etc.). This connection may also be used for sound recording, vibration analyzer and notebook
computer download. In this manner, the sounds, as they are recorded, can be simultaneously listened to through the headphones.
