UL101 Ultrasound Detector Kit

UL101
ULTRASOUND DETECTOR

The CTRL UL101 detects and converts ultrasound
produced by mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and
electrical systems. Changes in the amplitude and
characteristics of the ultrasound are easily detected in
noisy plant environments. Leaks are easily pinpointed.
Equipment problems are diagnosed even earlier than
other technologies such as vibration, infrared inspection,
or oil analysis.

Benefits of UL101 Acoustic Ultrasound Listening Devices

Ease-of-use 

Simply adjust the sensitivity on the UL101 Ultrasound Detector's handheld receiver to pinpoint the sound. 

​

Directionality 

Ultrasound stays very close to the source. Instantaneous results from condition-based monitoring, leak detection, valve diagnostics, and more benefit from this principle for troubleshooting.

​

​
Sensitivity

The UL101 Detectors is more sensitive than any detector on the market. Find the smallest leaks. Identify slow speed bearing problems easily, even below 10 rpms.

 
Costs

CTRL’s UL101 products are priced competitively compared to industry leaders, require less training, and are faster to use. 

Applications

Leak Detection (Pressure & Vacuum)
Leak Detection (Pressure & Vacuum)

Airborne ultrasound detection can be used to easily locate leaks within a noisy environment.

Electrical Inspection

Airborne ultrasound can be used to detect various electrical faults; including corona discharge, tracking, and arcing.

Valves & Steam Traps

Effective use of the UL101 for ultrasound detection on valves can reduce and even eliminate unnecessary overhaul costs, resources, and time. 

How the CTRL UL101 Ultrasound Detector Works

Using ultrasound detectors for condition-based monitoring and leak detection is a growing industry standard. 

​

The CTRL UL101 Leak Detector converts the ultrasound (40 kHz +/- 1 kHz) down into the audible range and outputs to a headset. All other frequencies are filtered, so that even the smallest air/gas, vacuum, or refrigerant leak can be detected and pinpointed in a noisy plant environment.
