CTRL Systems, Inc. (Westminster, Maryland) - CTRL clients can now experience the enhanced performance of the CTRL UL101 ultrasonic sensor with the new Mini-Concentrator and Acoustic Probe. These new attachments are now part of the full CTRL UL101 kit - and are provided at no additional cost.

The Mini-Concentrator is a small, lightweight attachment to the CTRL UL101 that offers benefits similar to the Large Concentrator but in a smaller, more convenient size - it's designed for those hard to access locations.

The Mini-Concentrator makes the CTRL UL101:

• Easier to use - detects problems and failures further away
• Easier to pinpoint leaks - narrows the angle of reception of the ultrasound
• Easier to distinguish - blocks out competing audible and ultrasound noises

Once ultrasonic emissions have been detected with the Mini-Concentrator (at distances of 10 to 50 feet), the Acoustic Probe can then be used to pinpoint the exact source of the ultrasonic emission. One example where the superior design of the Acoustic Probe is beneficial is for detecting leaks in piping systems. The operator can pinpoint the leak to within a 1/2" area by attaching the Acoustic Probe to the CTRL UL101 receiver, and moving the probe along the length of the piping.

The Mini-Concentrator and the Acoustic Probe do more than identify air leaks. Both attachments also detect ultrasonic emission from pressure and vacuum leaks including steam and gas leaks, electrical arcing, and corona discharge.
