Ultraprobe® 2000

The Ultraprobe® 2000 can heterodyne ultrasound into audible range providing accurate sound reproduction.

Sensitive only to ultrasonic frequencies, the Ultraprobe 2000 will not respond to the low frequency noises often associated with most plant equipment. Therefore, the “gun” can be effectively utilized in extremely loud environments.

Fast, accurate, and designed for ease of use, it often takes no more than 15 minutes to become competent in ultrasonic testing using the Ultraprobe® 2000.

The Ultraprobe® 2000 can help:

Reduce unplanned downtime
Shorten planned outage time
Diagnose equipment problems quickly
One person quickly test equipment in an entire section
Create more efficient scheduling of routine Preventative Maintenance procedures

Features

Technical specifications

CONSTRUCTION:
Hand held metered pistol type made with anodized aluminum and ABS plastic

FREQUENCY RESPONSE:
Detect ultrasonic frequencies between 20 kHz and 100kHz, continuously variable. Frequencies are converted to 100 Hz to 3 kHz audio.

PROBES:
Scanning Module: patented TRISONIC plug-in type consisting of a phased array of multiple transducers for airborne ultrasound. This probe is shielded against RF interface.

Rubber Focusing Probe (flexible) slips over scanning module to concentrate conical directivity and to shield reception of stray ultrasound. Also fits over Stethoscope Module to shield against high ambient ultrasound while unit is at maximum sensitivity.

Stethoscope Module: plug-in type, insulated probe with RF shielding; 4 1/2″ (11.4 cm) long steel probe tip, conically shaped for uniform surface contact. Probe tip is interchangeable. Stethoscope Extension Kit: 3 piece, segmented metal rods to increase stethoscope contact range 20″ (50.8.cm) and 31″ (76.2 cm)./p>

TRANSMITTER:
Patented warble tone transmission

Key features:

3 modes for reporting data: auditory channels, bi-modal analog meter, interface with other devices
FREQUENCY TUNING enables a user to tune into problem “sounds” while minimizing background interference.
METER MODE selection adjusts the meter response from a real time response to an averaging response. This feature allows accurate adjustments for leak detection and for mechanical analysis.
Can be utilized effectively in extremely loud environments
Frequency tuning adjustment dial: Scale 20-100 kHz with “fixed band” positions for ultra-narrow frequency response
Training CD produced with footage of actual plant environments
