OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The Ultraprobe 3000 is a versatile instrument with many features that will make your inspections easy, fast and accurate. As with any new instrument, it is important to review this manual before you begin inspections.
COMPONENTS BASIC COMPONENTS OF YOUR KIT Warble Tone Generator Headphones Scanning Module Stethoscope Module Pistol Grip Housing Long Range Module (optional) Rubber Focusing Charger Probe PLUG-IN MODULES SCANNING MODULE. This module is utilized to receive air borne ultrasound such as the ultrasounds emitted by pressure/vacuum leaks and electrical discharges.
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 in the module housing directly behind the “wave guide”.
USB PORT. This port is used to download/transfer information from the Ultraprobe 3000 into the computer. It is also used to charge the instrument. Before downloading data be sure the cable is connected to both the USB port and to the computer. When charging, plug the recharger cable into the USB and then into the electric receptacle.
ACCESSORIES STANDARD ACCESSORIES DHC 2HH. Headphone headset is for use with a hard hat. This heavy-duty headset is designed to block out intense sounds often found in industrial environments so that the user may easily hear the sounds received by the ULTRAPROBE.
STETHOSCOPE EXTENSION KIT. This consists of three metal rods that will enable a user to reach up to 31 additional inches (78.7 cm) with the Stethoscope Probe. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES LONG RANGE MODULE LRM. This uniquely designed module doubles the detection distance of a standard scanning module and provides a narrow (10°) sensing area making it ideally suited for locating ultrasonic emissions (such as a leak or electrical...
OPERATION MODE DISPLAY PANEL When the trigger is pressed to turn the instrument on, the Display Panel will display the decibel and bar graph intensity levels. The sensitivity level will be displayed in the upper left corner. The storage location number will be shown in the upper right corner. The Battery Charge level is shown in the mid- right side of the display.
NOTE: The instrument needs to be in range for accurate testing. If the sensitivity is too low, a blinking arrow pointing to the right will appear and there will be no numeric decibel visible in the display panel. If this occurs, increase the sensitivity until the arrow disappears (in extreme low level sound environments the arrow will blink continuously, and It will not be possible to achieve a dB indication until a higher intensity level is sensed).
For “Quick” Storage - see Set Up Mode, “Menu 05; Store Mode” to change this setting Firmly “Click” (press) the Sensitivity Dial once and the record is stored. The Storage Location number will automatically move up to the next sequential number. TO OVERWRITE DATA OR TO ENTER DATA IN A NEW LOCATION Click (press in) the Sensitivity dial button;...

MENU [05] STORE MODE There are two store mode selections: Normal and Quick. NORMAL STORE MODE - the store procedure includes three “Clicks” of the Sensitivity dial. The first click enters the Storage Mode where the user can spin to a different record location or stay in the current location.
Failure to follow the “Program Update” procedure may prevent the UP3000 from CAUTION: programming properly and result in the instrument being shipped back to UE Systems for repair. MENU [07] EXIT (TO OPERATION MODE) Click the Sensitivity Control dial and you will exit to Operation Mode.
USERS INSTRUCTIONS SCANNING MODULE Plug in to front end. Align the plug located at the rear of the module with the receptacle in the front end of the Pistol Housing and plug in. Start to scan the test area. METHOD OF AIRBORNE DETECTION The method of air borne detection is to go from the "gross to fine".
STETHOSCOPE MODULE The metal rod acts as a wave-guide, directing structure borne ultrasounds directly to the receiving transducer with little impedance. Align the plug located at the rear of the module with the receptacle in the front end of the Pistol Housing and plug in.
Remove the charger from the electric outlet when fully charged WARNING: Use the supplied UE Systems recharger only. Use of unauthorized rechargers will void the warranty and may damage the battery and or instrument. WARBLE TONE GENERATOR (UE WTG 1) Turn Tone Generator on by selecting either "LOW"...
