The ULTRAPROBE 100 provides easy, accurate leak detection and mechanical inspection through advanced ultrasonic technology. Before you begin testing, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the basic components of your kit. 1. PISTOL HOUSING The main component of the Ultraprobe is its' pistol housing.
2. SCANNING MODULE This module is utilized to receive air-borne ultrasound such as the ultrasounds emitted by pressure leaks and electrical discharges. To use, make sure it is plugged in to the front end of the metered pistol housing by aligning the plug with the receptical and inserting it firmly.
To use the WARBLE TONE GENERATOR : 1. Turn Tone Generator on by selecting either "LOW" for a low amplitude signal (usually recom mended for small containers) or "HIGH" for high amplitude. In high, the Warble Tone Generator will cover up to 4,000 cubic feet (121.
-4- UL TRAPROBE APPLICA TIONS 1. LEAK DETECTION This section will cover airborne leak detection of pressure and vacuum systems. (For information concerned with internal leaks such as in Valves and Steam Traps, refer to the appropriate sections).
-5- B. TO CONFIRM A LEAK: Position the Scanning Module, or the rubber focusing probe (if it is on the scanning module) close to the suspect leak site and move it, slightly, back and forth, in all directions. If the leak is at this location, the sound will increase and decrease in intensity as you sweep over it.
-6- D. LOW LEVEL LEAKS In ultrasonic inspection of leakage, the amplitude of the sound often depends upon the amount of turbulence generated at the leak site. The greater the turbulence, the louder the signal, the less the turbulence, the lower the intensity of the signal.
The Tone Test incorporates two basic components: a TONE GENERATOR (an ultrasonic transmitter) , and the Scanning Module in the Ultraprobe. To conduct the test: 1. Make certain the test item has no fluids or contaminants such as water, mud, sludge, etc.
2. ELECTRIC ARC, CORONA, TRACKING DETECTION There are three basic electrical problems that are detected with the Ultraprobe 500: Arcing: An arc occurs when electricity flows through space.
3. DETECTING BEARING WEAR Ultrasonic inspection and monitoring of bearings is by far the most reliable method for detecting incipient bearing failure. The ultrasonic warning appears prior to a rise in temperature or an increase in low frequency vibration levels.
DETECTING BEARING FAILURE COMPARATIVE TESTING. The comparative method involves testing two or more similar bearings and "com- paring" potential differences. FOR COMPARATIVE TEST 1. Use contact (stethoscope) module. 2. Select a "test spot" on the bearing housing.
5. LOCATING FAULTY STEAM TRAPS An ultrasonic test of steam traps is a positive test. The main advantage to ultrasonic testing is that it isolates the area being tested by eliminating confusing background noises.
THERMOSTATIC TRAPS (bellows & bimetallic) operate on a difference in temperature between condensate and steam. They build up condensate so that the temperature of condensate drops down to a certain level below saturation temperature in order for the trap to open.
6. LOCATING FAULTY VALVES Utilizing the contact (stethoscope) module in the Ultraprobe, valves can easily be monitored to determine if a valve is operating properly. As a liquid or gas flows through a pipe, there is little or no turbulence generated except at bends or obstacles.
ULTRASOUND TECHNOLOGY The technology of ultrasound is concerned with sound waves that occur above human perception. The average threshold of human perception is 16,500 Hertz. Although the highest sounds some humans are capable of hearing is 21,000 Hertz, ultrasound technology is usually concerned with frequencies from 20,000 Hertz and up.
SPECIFICA TIONS Construction : Hand held ABS pistol type ultrasonic processor stainless steel sensor enclosures Circuitry: SMD/Solid State hybrid hetrodyne receiver Frequency Response: 20-100 kHz (cen.
SAFETY ADVISOR Y PLEASE READ BEFORE USING YOUR INSTRUMENT . W ARNING Improper use of your ultrasonic detector may result in death or serious injury . Observe all safety precautions. Do not attempt to make any rep airs or adjustments while the equipment is operating.
Un punto importante, dopo l’acquisto del dispositivo (o anche prima di acquisto) è quello di leggere il manuale. Dobbiamo farlo per diversi motivi semplici:
Se non hai ancora comprato il Alpine VOLUME 1.3 è un buon momento per familiarizzare con i dati di base del prodotto. Prime consultare le pagine iniziali del manuale d’uso, che si trova al di sopra. Dovresti trovare lì i dati tecnici più importanti del Alpine VOLUME 1.3 - in questo modo è possibile verificare se l’apparecchio soddisfa le tue esigenze. Esplorando le pagine segenti del manuali d’uso Alpine VOLUME 1.3 imparerai tutte le caratteristiche del prodotto e le informazioni sul suo funzionamento. Le informazioni sul Alpine VOLUME 1.3 ti aiuteranno sicuramente a prendere una decisione relativa all’acquisto.
In una situazione in cui hai già il Alpine VOLUME 1.3, ma non hai ancora letto il manuale d’uso, dovresti farlo per le ragioni sopra descritte. Saprai quindi se hai correttamente usato le funzioni disponibili, e se hai commesso errori che possono ridurre la durata di vita del Alpine VOLUME 1.3.
Tuttavia, uno dei ruoli più importanti per l’utente svolti dal manuale d’uso è quello di aiutare a risolvere i problemi con il Alpine VOLUME 1.3. Quasi sempre, ci troverai Troubleshooting, cioè i guasti più frequenti e malfunzionamenti del dispositivo Alpine VOLUME 1.3 insieme con le istruzioni su come risolverli. Anche se non si riesci a risolvere il problema, il manuale d’uso ti mostrerà il percorso di ulteriori procedimenti – il contatto con il centro servizio clienti o il servizio più vicino.
