FFT INTERFACE
The Ultraprobe may be interfaced with FFT's via the UE-MP-BNC-2 Miniphone to BNC connector
or the UE DC2 FFT Adapter. The Miniphone plug is inserted into the headphone jack of the
Ultraprobe and the BNC connector is attached to the analog-in connector of the FFT. Using the
heterodyned - converted low frequency signal, the FFT will be able to receive the ultrasonic
information detected from the Ultraprobe. In this instance it can be used to monitor and trend low
speed bearings. It can also extend the use of the FFT to record all types of mechanical information
such as leaking valves, cavitation, gear wear, etc.
Proper Lubrication Lack of Lubrication Increases
Reduces Friction amplitude levels
General mechanical trouble shooting
As operating equipment begins to fail due to component wear, breakage or misalignment , sonic
and more importantly, ultrasonic shifts occur. The accompanying sound pattern changes can save
time and guess work in diagnosing problems if they are adequately monitored. Therefore, an
ultrasonic history of key components can prevent unplanned down-time. And just as important, if
equipment should begin to fail in the field, the ULTRAPROBE can be extremely useful in trouble
shooting problems
.
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
1. Use the contact (stethoscope) module.
2. Touch test area(s): listen through headphones and observe the meter.
3. Adjust sensitivity until mechanical operation of the equipment is heard clearly.
4. Probe equipment by touching various suspect areas.
5. To focus in on problem sounds, while probing, reduce sensitivity gradually to assist in
locating the problem sound at its' loudest point. (This procedure is similar to the method
outlined in LEAK LOCATION, i.e., follow the sound to its loudest point.)
