UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Your shipping carton should include: 1 ULD-300 Ultrasonic Detector 1 UT-300 Ultrasonic Transmitter (TMULD-300 version) 2 9 volt battery (installed) 1 HP-1 Headphone set 1 PB-1 Parabola horn 1 TEA-1 Adapter 1 TE-1 Extension tube 1 Carrying Case 1 Manual If any of the items are damaged or missing, return the complete package to the place of purchase for an exchange. 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 used6 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.
