Designed for ease of use, it often takes no more than 15 minutes to become competent in testing with the ULTRAPROBE® 2000 Kit Complete.
Fast accurate diagnosis through the ULTRAPROBE 2000 System will dramatically reduce unplanned down time and shorten planned outage time.
The ULTRAPROBE is the most versatile diagnostic instrument you'll ever need.

The Ultraprobe® 100 is the perfect fit for someone looking for cost-effective analog ultrasonic inspection technology. The Ultraprobe senses high frequency sounds produced by operating equipment, leaks and electrical discharges. It then electronically translates these signals by heterodyning them down into the audible range so that a user can hear these sounds through a headset and see them as intensity increments on the Ultraprobe “gun’s” LED meter. Heterodyning works the same as a radio in that it accurately converts the high frequency sounds down into the audible range so that they are easily recognized and understood.

The advantage of the Ultraprobe® 100 is that it is light, portable and easy to use. Plus it is an ultrasound sensing instrument. Ultrasound produces a high frequency, short wave signal. When compared with the sounds we humans can hear, the size of the sound waves are extremely small. This technology coming through the Ultraprobe® 100 provides the following advantages:

• Ultrasound is very directional
• Ultrasound can be easily blocked or shielded
• The Ultraprobe® 100 can be used in noisy environments
• The Ultraprobe® 100 can detect equipment changes and provide warning of potential problems
• The Ultraprobe® 100 is VERY easy to use

Sense ultrasonic amplitude changes and guard against unplanned downtime!

The Ultra-Trak™ 750 shows you early warning signs of:

• Mechanical failure
• Valve leakage
• Flow disruption
• Arcing by detecting changes of ultrasonic amplitude

How it Works:

The Ultra-Trak™ senses high frequency emissions produced by operating equipment. A baseline threshold can be set within a wide dynamic range of 120 decibels. Once set the Ultra-Trak™ then monitors changes of ultrasonic amplitude within a range of 40 decibels. The Ultra-Trak™ can be connected with other devices to provide alarms or for tracking potential problems over time. In some instances the Ultra-Trak™ can be used for sound level increases, such as to warn of onset of valve leakage or bearing failure. Amplitude fall-off can be used to signal line flow disruption or alarm of machine shutdown.

Ultra-Trak™ is ready to guard against unplanned downtime and product loss the minute it is installed. Ultra-Trak™ passively monitors ultrasounds produced by operating equipment. It can be readily connected to alarms or recorders for data logging, thanks to its 4-20 mA current output, coupled with a pure demodulated output.

Housed in stainless steel, the rugged Ultra-Trak™ 750 is water resistant and dust proof, which means it can be externally mounted in some of the most challenging environments. Couple this with an extraordinarily wide dynamic range of 120 dB and sensitivity adjustment; this sensor is ready to meet your most demanding sensing needs.

UE Ultra-Trak™ 750 Features:

• Demodulated Output for Analysis
• Dynamic Range: 120 dB
• Sensing Range 40 dB: Once the sound level is set, there is a 40 dB monitoring range.
• Peak Frequency Response: 40 kHz
• Outputs for External Data logging or Sound Recording.

The UCA 586 sensor is economically priced and is specifically designed for contact applications. Examples of these applications include:

This sensor is economically priced and is specifically designed for contact applications. A list of potential application uses is below:

I. Highly viscous fluid flows through pipes. Small metal balls are used to separate the liquid and to act as a sound source. Monitoring the sounds of the metal balls as they move against the pipe indicates fluid flow. A drop in sound level indicates disruption of flow.

II. Groove Counting. A machine cuts 21 groves in an armature. The armature is spun 360° creating a click for each grove. With sensor contacting the armature, the instrument counts the clicks. An incorrect count is noted in a control panel.

III. A paper mill monitors a critical valve. In only specific situations is the valve to be opened. Should a valve leak, an alarm is activated.

IV. A food producer automatically washes large tanks with an internal spray wand. A sensor mounted on the outer wall detects the spray of water as it hits the interior wall. A localized indicator signals a ” no-wash” condition.

V. An Electric utility has sensors affixed to cooling and feedwater boiler pumps to detect the onset of destructive cavitation. As air bubbles are compressed in these pumps, they burst producing a very distinctive ultrasound. Once a baseline is set cavitation is indicated by an increase in ultrasound amplitude.

VI. Screw Compressors: Bearings are monitored for the onset of the failure mode in compressors used for refrigeration. An increase of 10-50 times over a baseline in a monitored ultrasonic frequency is the earliest indicator of bearing failure according to NASA research.

VII. Fan Bearings: enclosed buildings must have ventilated air move through at a set cfm (cubic feet per minute). Should a fan bearing fail, the air quality in the building can be negatively effected. Monitors are set to alarm should a bearing enter the failure mode.

VIII. Cooling Fan bearings in a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for a computer room. Should the fans fail, the computers can overheat and fail. These monitors relay an alarm to a control panel.

IX. Dynamometers are used to simulate driving conditions in an automotive test facility. The bearings are critical for accurate results in the testing. Should a bearing become faulty, the readings of a particular test can be incorrect. These bearings are ultrasonically monitored to indicate the earliest onset of bearing failure.

X. Landing gear in a test lab is used to provide information about various mechanical processes related to this type of landing gear. Sensors are mounted on the bearings of this gear and set alarm should the bearing begin to fail.
