Frequently Asked Questions - TMULD300 Amprobe

How to turn on the ULD-300 detector?

Turn the on/off knob clockwise. The battery indicator should turn green. If red, replace the 9V battery.

What accessories are included with the TMULD-300?

The kit includes the ULD-300 detector, UT-300 transmitter, two 9V batteries, HP-1 headphones, PB-1 parabolic dish, TEA-1 adapter, TE-1 extension tube, and a carrying case.

How to adjust sensitivity to locate a leak?

Use the range switch (X1, X10, X100) and the fine adjustment knob. Start on X100, then reduce sensitivity if the LED bar is saturated (10 LEDs lit).

What to do if the battery indicator is red?

Immediately replace the 9V battery with a new alkaline battery (type NEDA 1604 or equivalent). Open the battery compartment after turning off the device.

Can cracks be detected without an active leak?

Yes, with the UT-300 transmitter. Place it in the test space: it generates ultrasound that travels through cracks. Then use the detector to locate sound leaks.

What type of batteries to use?

Use 9V alkaline batteries type NEDA 1604A or IEC 6LR61. Observe polarity: negative terminal up.

How to clean the device?

Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with a solution of water and mild detergent. Never use chlorinated solvents or aromatic hydrocarbons. Let dry before use.

What to do if the detector does not work properly?

First check the battery. Then consult the user manual for usage errors. If the problem persists, contact an authorized Amprobe service center.

What is the ultrasonic detection range?

Ultrasound is highly directional. Distance depends on leak size. Use the PB-1 parabolic dish in noisy environments and the TE-1/TEA-1 extensions for hard-to-reach areas.

Can I use the device near explosive gases?

No. Use on explosive gases is prohibited. Exercise extreme caution near pressurized air or gas, rotating equipment, or electrical devices.

INTRODUCTION

Ultrasonic sound (20 kHz to 100 kHz) is generated by turbulence created by air or a gas forced through a small orifice. Ultrasonic sound is very directional in nature and can be used pinpoint the exact location of the leak point.

Leaking air or gas is generally considered to be viscous flow and as the flow velocity increases, the frequency of the ultrasonic sound emitted will become higher. The ULD-300 amplifies and converts these sounds to frequencies and levels that the human ear can hear.

Application notes available on website www.amprobe.com.

ULD-300 Ultrasonic Leak Detector Operation

Plug the headphone (HP-1) into the jack located on the left side of the ULD-300.1.

Rotate the thumb wheel clockwise to turn the ULD-300 'ON". The Battery LED will normally be 2. a green color. If the LED is red, the 9V battery must be replaced.

Set the range switch (X1, X10, X100) to X1003.

Rotate the thumb wheel clockwise to 104.

Point the ULD-300 energized point the sensor horn in the direction where a leak is suspected. 5.

For surroundings with a high level of background noise use the Parabola (PB-1).
For locations that you cannot point the ULD-300 directly at the leak, the TE-2 and TEA-1 can be used

As you get nearer to the source of the leak, the LED's in the vertical bar will light up. The LED 6. bar is a relative measurement only. When the LED display panel reaches 10 lights, you are at the maximum reading of the range setting. Reduce the sensitivity by turning the thumb wheel counterclockwise or select a less sensitive range.

Repeat until you have isolated the leak source. Lowering the sensitivity level will verify 7. that you have isolated the true source, of the leak and not a reflection of the true source. Generally, ultrasonic sound reflections are not as strong as the true sound source.

UT-300 Ultrasonic Transmitter Operation (Shipped in TMULD-300 product)

The UT-300 transmitter can supply ultrasonic signals for locations where the gas/air leak does not have sufficient pressure to create an ultrasonic sound. This transmitter will allow the ultrasonic detection of cracks and openings.

Move the ON/OFF switch to ON. The POWER LED will come ON.1.

Select the output signal level with the mode switch.2.

Switch unit OFF when done testing.3.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

If there appears to be a malfunction during the operation of the ULD-300, the following steps should be performed in order to isolate the cause of the problem.

ULD-300

Check the battery. Replace the battery immediately when the red LED is ON.1.

Review the operating instructions for possible mistakes in operating procedure. 2.

UT-300

Check the battery. Replace the battery immediately if the red LED is not ON.1.

Review the operating instructions for possible mistakes in operating procedure. 2.

Except for the replacement of the battery, repair of the meter should be performed only by a Factory Authorized Service Center or by other qualified instrument service personnel. The front panel and case can be cleaned with a mild solution of detergent and water. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and allow to dry completely before using. Do not use aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated solvents for cleaning.

Battery Replacement ULD-300, UT-300

Turn off the meter and unlatch the battery cover. Replace the battery with a NEDA type 1604 1. or equivalent 9V alkaline battery. Replace the cover.

Note: the negative terminal of the battery should go to the top of the unit.

Remove battery when the instrument is not used for extended period.2.
