400 01 0145 Description The small acoustic horn BS10-2 is used as the standard attachment on BS10. This attachment provides the sensor with a directivity for close-range applications. A relatively large opening angle allows for simple detection of ultrasound sources in the room. Use the target laser to narrow down the area for subsequent precise location.
700 01 0296 Description The precise locator BS10-1 directs the sensitive opening of the sensor to a small circular area. This means that wide range and directivity are lost. In return, it is possible to search for an ultrasound source directly on the surface of a test object. For detection, the tip may be turned in the direction of the damaged area.
