Ultrasonic diagnostic tool Spectroline's Marksman ultrasonic diagnostic tool is a highly accurate instrument that converts and amplifies inaudible ultrasonic sound into audible "natural" sound. Now, aviation technicians can easily hear sounds that signify problems such as compressed air, vacuum, pneumatic and other pressurized leaks. It can also check for electrical discharge due to insulation breakdown, carbon tracking, and arcing. The Marksman uses a two-tiered process to ensure accurate diagnosis. The receiver unit converts inaudible sound into audible sound using a process known as heterodyning. Then, the receiver's Sound Signal Technology fine-tunes the audible sound into the natural sound emitted by the defect itself. A 10-bar LED display indicates the intensity of incoming signals. The MDE- 1000 Marksman Master Kit comes complete with a receiver, full-sized headphones, two probes, and an ultrasonic emitter. Standard 9-volt alka- line batteries are included.
