Ultraprobe 100 Stethoscope / Scanner Kit
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 is 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 a warning of potential problems
- The Ultraprobe® 100 is VERY easy to use
