Trigger Switch (E)
The Ultraprobe is always "off' until the trigger switch is pressed. To operate, simply press the trigger; to turn
the instrument off, release the trigger.
Frequency Adjust Dial (F)
There are numbers ranging from 100 kHz down to 20 kHz. These represent the range of frequency
selection capable with the Ultraprobe. These frequencies
may be "tuned in" when performing mechanical
and valve analysis with the contact (stethoscope) probe (refer to description of contact probe). There is
also a detented position, labeled "fixed band". This selection automatically locks the circuitry of the
Ultraprobe into the peak response of the transducers of either the contact (stethoscope) module or the
Trisonic
TM
Scanning Module. It is an extremely narrow band response that, when used with the contact
(stethoscope) module, reduces most stray unwanted pipe and mechanical noises. In the scanning mode,
it provides for extreme sensitivity and is the preferred position in leak detection
and electrical inspection
activities.
Meter Selection Dial (G)
There are three positions for this dial:
1. Log: this selection allows the meter to respond in a real-time, instant, mode. This selection is used
when fast, instant meter response is needed, as in leak detection.
2. Lin: this selection, linear, can be considered a slow response. It eliminates the high and low swings
of the meter and averages there sponse for a more measurable result. This selection is utilized for
monitoring bearings or for mechanical analysis when too rapid a meter response might be
confusing to the operator. In this scale the meter indicator may be used to provide a dB
(decibel)relationship for applications such as mechanical monitoring and bearing trending.
3. Aux: this is the auxiliary position, which is to be used ONLY when a specially adapted instrument is
to be interfaced with the Ultraprobe.
Recharge Jack
This jack receives the plug from the recharger. The recharger is designed to plug into a standard electrical
receptacle. There are two wires from the recharger: one is for the Ultraprobe pistol housing and the other is
for the Warble Tone
Generator (see TONE GENERATOR for more information).
When recharging:
1. Insert main plug to electrical outlet.
2. Insert Ultraprobe plug (black) into Ultraprobe Recharge jack
3. Insert Tone Generator plug (yellow) into Tone Generator Recharge jack. NOTE: The recharger
has two red LED's. Each will illuminate only if it is connected and charging properly.
When to recharge
When the red low level indicator light goes on,recharge the Ultraprobe for 8 hours. If the instrument is not
used for a week or more, recharge it for 4 hours. If the Ultraprobe is not used for a few days, it can be used
without recharging, however, for best results, it is advisable to recharge it as a "booster" for about an hour
before using.
If a quick charge is necessary, it is advisable to get the Ultraprobe UE-QCH2 QUICK CHARGER. Call
the factory for information.
