Spectronics
Corporation has introduced the Spectroline® Marksman™
ultrasonic diagnostic tool, a highly accurate instrument that converts
and amplifies inaudible ultrasonic sound into audible “natural”
sound. Now, service technicians can easily hear sounds that signify
problems such as compressed air leaks, electrical discharge, as
well as vacuum, natural gas, propane, refrigerant, seal and gasket
leaks. This allows technicians to repair them long before they become
major headaches.
The Marksman uses a two-tiered process to ensure accurate diagnosis.
First, the receiver unit converts inaudible sound into audible sound
using a process known as heterodyning. Then, the receiver’s
Sound Signal Technology™ fine-tunes the audible sound into
the natural sound emitted by the defect itself. A 10-bar LED display
indicates the intensity of incoming signals.
Designed for optimal performance, the MDE-1000
Marksman Master Kit comes with a receiver, full-sized headphones,
two probes, and an ultrasonic emitter that allows technicians to
test for faulty seals, gaskets and weather stripping in doors, windows,
ductwork and other unpressurized enclosures. When attached to the
receiver, the 12-inch hollow probe accentuates air sounds, while
the solid contact probe accentuates sounds of wear or grinding inside
gears. Standard 9-volt alkaline batteries are included for both
the receiver and the emitter. All components are packed in a sturdy
storage case with foam insert.
