Contact Stethoscope module
Contact Module
This is the module with the metal rod. This rod is utilized as a "wave-guide" that is sensitive to
ultrasound generated internally such as
within a pipe, bearing housing, steam trap or wall. Once
stimulated by ultrasound, it transfers the signal to a piezoelectric transducer located directly in the
module housing.
To use the Stethoscope Module:
1. Align the pin located at the rear of the module with the jack in the front end of the Metered
Pistol Housing and plug in firmly.
2. Touch test area.
3. As with the scanning module, go from the "gross" to the "fine". Start a maximum sensitivity on
the Sensitivity Selection Dial and proceed to reduce the sensitivity until a satisfactory sound
and meter level is achieved.
Headset
Premium Kit
This heavy duty headset is designed to block out intense sounds often found in industrial
environments so that the user may easily hear the sounds received by the ULTRAPROBE. To use,
simply plug the headset cord into the headset jack on the metered pistol housing, and place the
headphones over your ears. If a hard hat is to
be worn, it is recommended to use UE Systems' model
UE-DHC-2HH Hard Hat Headphones which are specifically designed for hard hat use.
For those situations in which it is not possible or difficult to wear the standard headphones described
above, UE Systems has two options available:
1. the DHC 1991 Earpiece which loops around the ear, and
2. the SA-2000 Speaker Amplifier which is a loud speaker that is compatible with the
Ultraprobe headphone output jack.
WTG-1 warble tone generator (premium kit)
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 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.
