2 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Bacharach Tru Pointe® 1100 Ultrasonic Inspection
System. You have invested in the most sophisticated ultrasonic test instrument available.
The Tru Pointe® 1100 is the fi rst ultrasonic leak detector to feature digital controls and displays,
and no other ultrasonic detector can produce such accurate readings and consistent results in
repeated tests. Using patented signal processing, the Tru Pointe® provides the most precise
readings available.
The Tru Pointe® 1100 can detect pressurized leaks of compressed air, refrigerant, steam, and
nitrogen, as well as detecting vacuum leaks. The Touch Probe allows the quick detection of fl ow
abnormalities in pumps, steam traps and valves, as well as mechanical wear in bearings and
other moving machine parts. Noise patterns can be recorded and compared to previous readings
for an accurate record of noise patterns.
