A. PLUG-IN MODULES
TRISONICTM SCANNING MODULE:
This module is utilized to receive air-borne ultrasound such as the ultrasounds emitted by pressure/vacuum leaks and electrical
discharges. There are four prongs at the rear of the module. For placement, align the prongs with the four corresponding jacks in the
front end of the pistol housing and plug in. The TrisonicTM Scanning Module has a phased array of three piezoelectric transducers to
pick up the airborne ultrasound. This phased array focuses the ultrasound on one "hot spot" for directionality and effectively
intensifies the signal so that minute ultrasonic emissions can be detected.
STETHOSCOPE (CONTACT) MODULE:
This is the module with the metal rod. This rod is utilized as a "waveguide" in that it is sensitive to ultrasound that is generated
internally such as within a pipe, bearing housing or steam trap. Once stimulated by ultrasound, it transfers the signal to a piezoelectric
transducer located directly in the module housing. The module is shielded to provide protection from stray RF waves that have a
tendency to effect electronic receiving and measurement. The Stethoscope (Contact) Module can be effectively utilized in practically
any environment ranging from airports to broadcasting towers. It is equipped with low noise amplification to allow for a clear,
intelligible signal to be received and interpreted. For placement align the four prongs on the back with the corresponding receptacles in
the front of the pistol and plug in.
3. ACCESSORIES
A. STANDARD ACCESSORIES
HEADSET:
This heavy-duty headset is designed for use with or without a hardhat and can block out intense sounds often found in industrial
environments so that the user may easily hear the sounds received by the ULTRAPROBE. In fact, these headphones provide over 23
dB of noise attenuation.
WTG-1 WARBLE TONE GENERATOR:
The WTG-1 Tone Generator is an ultrasonic transmitter designed to flood an area with ultrasound. It is used for a special type of leak
test. 'When placed inside an empty container or on one side of a test item, it will flood that area with an intense ultrasound that will not
penetrate any solid but will flow through any existing fault or void. By scanning with the TrisonicTM Scanning Module, empty
containers such as pipes, tanks, windows, doors, bulkheads or hatches can be instantly checked for leakage. This Tone Generator is a
WARBLE TONE GENERATOR. This internationally patented transmitter sweeps through a number of ultrasonic frequencies in a
fraction of a second to produce a strong, recognizable "Warble" signal. The warble tone prevents a standing wave condition which can
produce false readings and provides for a consistency of testing in practically any material.

5. USERS INSTRUCTIONS
TRISONICTM SCANNING MODULE:
1. This module plugs into the front end of the instrument.
2. Align the pins located at the rear of the module with the four jacks in the front end of the Metered Pistol Housing (MPH)
and plug in.
3. For general use position the frequency selection to 40 kHz.
4. Start to scan the test area.
METHOD OF AIRBORNE DETECTION:
The method of air borne detection is to go from the "gross to the fine". Start at maximum sensitivity (S=70), constantly reducing the
sensitivity and following the bar graph amplitude display to the loudest point. If there is too much ultrasound in the area, reduce the
sensitivity, place the RUBBER FOCUSING PROBE (described below) over the scanning module and proceed. Every time the sound
level rises to a point where it is difficult to follow, reduce the sensitivity again and again until you are able to follow the test sound to
its' loudest point.
HEADSET:
The DHC-HH headphones are designed to be worn with hard hats. To use, simply plug the headset cord into the headset Jack on the
pistol housing, and place the headphones over your ears.
RUBBER FOCUSING PROBE :
To use, simply slip it over the front of the scanning module or the contact module.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the module plugs, always remove the module BEFORE attaching and/or
removing the Rubber Focusing Probe.
STETHOSCOPE MODULE:
1. Align the pins located at the rear of the module with the four jacks in the front end of the Metered Pistol Housing (MPH)
and plug in.
2. Touch test area.
As with the SCANNING MODULE, go from the "gross" to the "fine". Start at maximum sensitivity (S=70) on the Sensitivity
Selection dial and proceed to reduce the sensitivity until a satisfactory sound level is achieved. At times it may be necessary to utilize
the STETHOSCOPE MODULE with the sensitivity level at or near maximum. Occasionally when in this situation stray ultrasound
may interfere with clear reception and be confusing. If this occurs, place the RUBBER FOCUSING PROBE over the Stethoscope
probe to insulate against the stray ultrasound.
STETHOSCOPE EXTENSION KIT:
1. Remove the Stethoscope Module from the Metered Pistol Housing.
2. Unscrew the metal rod in the Stethoscope Module.

"HIGH" for high amplitude. In the High position, the Warble Tone Generator will cover up to 4,000 cubic feet (113.3 cu. meters)
of unobstructed space.
2. When the Tone Generator is on, a red light (located below the recharge jack in the front) flickers.
3. Place the Warble Tone Generator within the test item/container and seal or close it. Then scan the suspect areas with the
TrisonicTM Scanning Module in the Ultraprobe and listen for where the "warble" ultrasound penetrates.
As an example, if the item to be tested is the seal around a window, place the Warble Tone Generator on one side of the window,
close it and proceed to scan on the opposite side.
4. To test the condition of the Warble Tone Generator battery, set to the LOW INTENSITY position and listen to the sound
through the Ultraprobe at 40 kHz. A continuous warbling sound should be heard. If a "beeping" is heard instead, then a full
recharge of the Warble Tone Generator is indicated.
TO CHARGE THE WARBLE TONE GENERATOR:
1. Plug recharger cable into recharger jack on the Warble Tone Generator and then plug the recharger into a wall receptacle.
2. Make sure that the LED on the charger is lit when recharging.

This is the main control dial. It will function as a cursor control as well as a sensitivity and frequency controller.
TO ADJUST THE SENSITIVITY/VOLUME:
1. Look at the meter. To adjust the sensitivity, the dB (decibel) indicator must blink. The kHz (frequency indicator) must be
steady (not blinking).
2. 2If the frequency indicator is blinking, click in the Sensitivity Control Dial until the frequency indicator is steady and the
dB (decibel) indicator blinks.. This indicates that you are now able to adjust the sensitivity.
3. Once in the Sensitivity mode, turn the Sensitivity Control Dial clockwise to increase the sensitivity and counter clockwise
to decrease the sensitivity.
4. The Sensitivity Control Dial increases/decreases the sensitivity of the instrument simultaneously with the sound level in the
headphones. When in range, it moves the bar graph up and down and will adjust the headset volume.
NOTE: the instrument needs to be in range for accurate testing.
5. If the sensitivity is too low, a blinking arrow pointing to the right will appear and there will be no numeric dB value visible
in the display panel. If this occurs, increase the sensitivity until the arrow disappears (in low level sound environments the
arrow will blink continuously and It will not be possible to achieve a dB indication until a higher intensity sound level is
sensed).
6. If the sensitivity is too high, a blinking arrow pointing to the left will appear and there will be no numeric dB value visible
on the display panel. Reduce the sensitivity until the arrow disappears and the numeric dB value is shown.
NOTE: The blinking arrow indicates the direction in which the Sensitivity Control Dial is to be turned.
7. The Sensitivity Control Dial controls the bar graph display.
8. Each click of the Sensitivity Control Dial changes the sensitivity / volume by 1 dB
TO ADJUST THE FREQUENCY:
1. Look at the meter. The kHz indicator must blink to be able to tune the frequency.
2. If it is not blinking, “Click” in the Sensitivity Control Dial until the kHz indicator blinks.
3. When the kHz indicator blinks, change the frequency by rotating the Sensitivity Control Dial up (clockwise) or down
(counter clockwise).
