Version 1 OVERVIEW The UE UCA586 is an Ultrasonic Detection unit that is targeted for continuous monitoring. The unit offers an overall dynamic range of roughly 100 decibels, and is configured for structure borne ultrasonic detection. ULTRASOUND TECHNOLOGY The Ultrasound Technology utilized by this system is generally referred to as “Airborne Ultrasound”.
Version 1 Mechanical Monitoring Concepts There are ultrasonic components in practically all forms of friction. As an example, if one were to rub the sensor probe with a finger, an ultrasonic signal will be generated. Although there might be some audible components to this friction, the sensor will only sense the ultrasonic components which, in this example, will be considered a gross signal that is also amplified.
UE UCA586 INSTALLATION & OPERATION POWER REQUIREMENTS The UE UCA586 requires a 24 Volt, DC power source @ 200 milliamperes total. The power connections are to be made to the I/O cable. Refer to the Pin Out/Description Diagram for the connections.
