Description
The UP100 is a portable battery powered instrument which gives visible and audible indication of ultrasonic frequencies. It is intended for use as a diagnostic tool in the analysis of steam trap operation and can also be used to detect leaks in steam and compressed air systems. Some experience, together with a working knowledge of steam trap operation, is required to correctly interpret the signals.
The UP100 consists of 4 components:
The pistol housing.
The stethoscope probe module with extension rods.
The headset with extension cable.
The flexible carrying case.
Limiting conditions
Ambient temperature operating range: 0 to 50°C
Ambient temperature storage range -18 to 54°C
