8.3.4 Ultrasonic Measurement using the Contact Probe Accessory

The Ultrasonic Contact Probe is provided to enable discharges to be detected in enclosed
areas where there is no direct air path from the discharge source to the sensor. The Probe
connects to the external sensor connector and is clamped on to the area of interest using
the magnets surrounding the sensor plate. To avoid damage to the socket or connector
ensure that the red dots are lined up before attempting to plug in the Ultrasonic Contact
Probe. The probe will detect discharge sources inside the enclosed area by detecting the
energy transmitted to the enclosure. Care must be taken to eliminate other sources that
could cause the signals from discharges to be masked, e.g. accidental movement of the
probe itself or strong vibration on the panel.
