The use of ultrasound is a smart approach for a number of reasons...

• Ultrasound is very directional and localised - it basically travels in straight lines
• This means that ultrasound can be easily blocked or shielded - so, if there is a competing source of ultrasound, it can be easily taken out of the equation
• Ultrasonic instruments, such as the Ultraprobe, can be used in noisy environments - don't stop production to find those compressed air leaks!
• Changes in ultrasound can provide early warning of potential problems

The Ultraprobe 100 senses high-frequency sounds (known as ultrasound), which is produced by operating equipment, leaks and electrical discharges.

These sounds are then electronically translated by the Ultraprobe, so that the user can hear the problem in the headset, and see the intensity of the ultrasound on a red LED bar graph meter on the front of the unit.

Each bar on this LED meter equals approximately 3 dB, making it ideal for calculating decibel levels. And the Ultraprobe 100 uses a 9 Volt Alkaline battery, which can be popped out at anytime and easily replaced for continuous operation.

Our range of ultrasonic leak detectors qualifies for the government's Enhanced Capital Allowance scheme. By meeting the government's stringent qualifying process - by detecting a 0.4mm leak in a 75 PSI system from 20 metres - the Ultraprobe demonstrates superior energy efficient performance.

By claiming an Enhanced Capital Allowance, interest free loans and tax advantages may be available, which could result in improved cash flow and a reduced payback period. There is a space on the tax form to include ECA purchases.
