The handheld SoundCTRL System connects directly to the CTRL UL101 receiver (right) for an easy one-step inspection-collection process. SoundCTRL recognizes the ultrasonic signals received by the CTRL UL101 and provides immediate display and analysis of sound characteristics to help determine the condition of the component under test.

The system allows the user to record, play back, compare, and analyze audio and visual wave files of these signals. It also provides the user with the ability to maintain a database of this information, and to print files for reporting and trending purposes. (The signals can be recalled and compared with a baseline for benchmarking purposes.) This system, coupled with the CTRL UL101, provides the most accurate and convenient solution available for equipment condition diagnostics and failure prevention.

Ideal applications for SoundCTRL include monitoring a wide variety of components such as bearings, gearboxes, valves, and pumps.
