Superiorsignal - VPE-1000 Digital Ultrasonic Detector
Quantity
When powerful performance is needed and budgets are limited, choose the versatile Superior AccuTrak® VPE-1000. It is the first low cost digital ultrasonic detector, offering extraordinary features at a fraction of the cost of other ultrasonic instruments. The AccuTrak® model VPE-1000 is extremely sensitive to the ultrasonic sound of leaks and friction in industrial systems. By using a technique called 'heterodyning' it translates the ultrasound to a lower frequency which our ears can interpret. The AccuTrak® is so sensitive it can hear the blink of an eye, yet most background noise will not interfere with detection accuracy. Patented technology uses a microcomputer and digital circuitry making AccuTrak® the most accurate and repeatable ultrasonic inspection instrument available in its class.
Applications:
The VPE-1000 is perfect for schools, hospitals, hotels, and other large institutional or industrial environments. Use for a variety of leak detection and plant maintenance applications.- Leak Detection: Air, Vacuum, Refrigerants; ANY GAS!
- Steam Traps: Detect live steam loss in seconds!
- Valves: Detect/hear internal leakage in check, ball, needle, gate or any type of valve! Diagnose thermal expansion valves in just five minutes!
- Bearings: Hear wear and lubrication problems before damage is done!
