Structure-Borne Sound Sensor BS20 2 Sensor description 2.4 Accessories for the structure-borne sound & temperature sensor BS20 The intensity and behavior of ultrasonic signals depend on factors such as the process during which they are generated. Options for verifying and recording the signals and for providing these to the user in high-quality format so that useful statements can be made with regard to system conditions are also dependent upon a number of different factors.
Structure-Borne Sound Sensor BS20 2 Sensor description Magnetic waveguide BS20-3 (optional) Accessory for structure-borne sound and temperature sensor BS20 Application: For connection at the test point for long-term testing and for ensuring even contact pressure Fig. 3: Magnetic waveguide BS20-3 In order to ensure usable test results with long-term testing or comparative tests, even contact pressure is required.
Structure-Borne Sound Sensor BS20 Sensor operation Danger of injury! • The sharp ends of the waveguides can cause injuries, and even serious injuries in the case of the long waveguide. Make sure never to injure anyone with the sharp ends of the waveguides. Never direct the tip at other people.
Structure-Borne Sound Sensor BS20 3 Sensor operation 3.2 Assembling and disassembling waveguides Risk of device damage and incorrect test values! • Risk of destruction of the waveguide holder as a result of incorrect assembly and disassembly. Always use the two elements of wrench set BS20 (see image below) to assemble and disassemble the waveguides.
Structure-Borne Sound Sensor BS20 3 Sensor operation 3.3 Using the waveguides During testing, the sensor should be pressed against the object being tested in as vertical a position as possible and using gentle, even pressure. 90° Fig. 5: Optimal contact angle for testing with waveguides 3.4 Operation via the buttons on the sensor Measurements can be controlled via the touchscreen on the device or via the buttons on the sensor itself.
Structure-Borne Sound Sensor BS20 3 Sensor operation 3.5 Temperature measurements Note! For correct temperature measurements, make sure that the surface of the temperature sensor is free from contamination. D = 11 mm D = 38 mm The infrared temperature sensor is calibrated on a black emitter that emits the maximum possible temperature (100 % emission →...
Structure-Borne Sound Sensor BS20 Disposal Electrical and electronic equipment can pose serious health and environmental risks if it is not properly disposed of. For this reason it must not be disposed of in domestic waste according to WEEE directive 2012/19/EU (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) but separately at designated collection points or has to be sent back to the manufacturer.
The recording of valid test results, the interpretation of these results and any measures that are derived as a result are exclusively the responsibility of the user. SONOTEC does not assume any guarantee for the correctness of the recorded test values or test results. SONOTEC accepts no liability for any errors or damages that arise as a result of the further use of the recorded test and measurement values.
