Tru Pointe® Ultra Instruction 0028-9000

Using the SoundBlaster

Some Tru Pointe

Ultra HD kits include Bacharach’s ultrasonic sound generator, the SoundBlast-

. The SoundBlaster

is used to artiﬁ cially pressurize items and detect potential leaks using a

115dB ultrasonic tone. The Tru Pointe

Ultra HD can detect the tone as it escapes in areas that

are not under pressure.

To use the SoundBlaster

1. Press the On/Off Button once on the SoundBlaster

2. Place the SoundBlaster

inside the item to be tested.

3. Use the Tru Pointe

Ultra HD to detect the leaked ultrasonic waves generated by

the SoundBlaster

using the same method as detecting a standard airborne leak.

NOTE: Using the SoundBlaster

inside a symmetrical

object (i.e. a cylindrical tank) can cause standing waves,

which can result in hot and cold spots. For these situa-

tions push the ‘Mode’ button to turn the SoundBlaster

’s

burst mode on.

Tips on Use:

1. Sound waves lose strength with distance, so when checking a building for leaks,

do not place the SoundBlaster

in the basement and attempt to ﬁ nd leaks in the

roof.

2. It is best to remove the nose cone from the SoundBlaster

when checking roofs

3. If the SoundBlaster

’s tone is too strong, place a piece of sponge or foam in the

nose cone.

4. DO NOT place the nose cone ﬂ at on a hard surface, as the reﬂ ection of the gener-

ated sound could damage the SoundBlaster
