Introduction

The Fluke ii900/ii910 is an Acoustic Imager (the Product or Imager) that detects and locates an acoustic signature. These
www.GlobalTestSupply.com
signatures can indicate leaks in compressed air, compressed gas, and vacuum systems.
In addition, the ii910 detects electrical discharges as well as leaks. Examples of these electrical discharges include partial discharge such as corona, surface tracking, and arcing. The ii910 also identifies and locates potential mechanical issues.
The Imager has an acoustic sensor-array that aligns a sound­source heatmap with the image. The visible-light camera provides a live-view image of the inspection area. Capture and save still image files and video files from the inspection for documentation and reports.
A rechargeable battery powers the Imager. The Imager includes an external battery charger with power adapter and country-specific cables.
The Imager has a USB-C port that connects to a PC for file download and firmware updates.

Terms to Know

Use this section to familiarize yourself with these terms that are unique to this Imager and sound pressure measurements.
Decibel (dB) Sound Pressure Level (SPL). The unit of measurement for changes in sound pressure. Decibel indicates the level of the sound (against the reference level of sound in air) and is expressed in terms of dB SPL.
Distance to target. The distance between the leak source and the acoustic sensor is critical. The decibel level that the Imager can measure decreases with the square of this distance.
www.GlobalTestSupply.com
Sound Frequency / Acoustic Frequency / Frequency Band.
The frequency corresponds to the number of sound vibrations/ second and is expressed as Hertz (Hz) or thousands of Hertz (kHz).
Frequency Range
Audible (up to 20 kHz). The range that human ear can perceive sounds.
Ultrasonic (above 20 kHz). Certain issues (leaks, electrical discharges, mechanical failures) generate sound signatures in ultrasonic ranges. The human ear cannot perceive the ultrasonic range that the Imager can detect.
Frequency Selection / Frequency Filtering / Selected Frequency Band. Select a frequency band for measurement and
visualization of sound. When a frequency band is selected, any sound outside of that range is filtered and not shown or considered.
Background Noise. The noise that exists in the surroundings that the microphone sensors detect along with the sound sources of possible leaks. Generally, background noise is higher in lower frequencies. In noisy environments, select higher frequencies to help discriminate the leak sounds.
Frequency / Spectrum Graph. A graphic chart on the display shows the level of sound detected in all frequency ranges.
Frequency Spike. Spike in the frequency / spectrum graph that indicates a significant source of sound in this specific frequency. If this spike is within the frequency selection, the Imager visualizes the source on the display.
Field-of-View (FOV). What is detected by the Imager at a particular position and orientation in space.
Sound Reflections. Sound signals reflect, particularly on smooth and flat surfaces. In certain conditions, the Imager shows on the display a hot spot from the source of noise and one or more hot spots from reflections.
LeakQ™. LeakQ is a capture mode that estimates the size of a leak. LeakQ Scale is a scale from 0 to 10 that is an indication of the leak size. The Imager calculates a value based on the measured dB SPL level and the distance value. The distance value is automatically determined or you input a value with the display keyboard.

PDQ Mode™. PDQ Mode is a capture mode that detects and locates potential partial discharges. The PDQ Mode indicates a possible type of Partial Discharge (External, Internal, Tracking, or Other), Pulse count indication/minute, and Phase-resolved Partial Discharge Plot (PRPD plot).
Partial Discharge (PD). PD is a localized dielectric breakdown that does not completely bridge the electrical insulation between two conductors under high voltage.
PD types are classified into three main types:
External discharge, or corona discharge, is the ionization of a fluid, gas, or air surrounding a conductor that is electrically
www.GlobalTestSupply.com
charged at high voltage.
Internal discharge occurs in voids or cavities within solid or liquid dielectrics.
Surface discharge tracks across the surface of different insulation materials.
MecQ™. MecQ is a capture mode that detects and locates potential anomalies in mechanical components as an early identification of possible mechanical deterioration that requires further inspection.

Operating Conditions).

LeakQ™ Mode

LeakQ mode automatically determines the distance to the target (a leak that shows inside the circle on the display). When a leak is detected and the Imager can determine the distance, the LeakQ value on the display gives an indication of the size of the leak. The value is based on the measured dB SPL value and the distance.
If a leak shows inside the circle on the display:
Values for DISTANCE and LeakQ Scale show on the display.
or
NO TARGET FOUND shows on the display when no leak is detected inside the circle.
If the Imager cannot automatically determine the distance, this pop-up message shows on the display:
UNABLE TO ESTIMA TE DISTANCE
If the Imager is unable to determine the distance, or you want to override the estimated distance, you can input the distance manually.
To input the distance manually:
1. Tap on the message to open a numeric screen and enter
the distance. The Imager uses the entered distance to calculate the
LeakQ values.
Note
Stabilize the Imager for a few moments as it calculates the values.
2. Press the Capture button to make a more precise
calculation.

• Move the Imager around the leak to find the highest LeakQ value. This will best reflect the actual leak size.
• Obstacles within the circle may influence the calculated distance and LeakQ value.
• High background noise will influence the calculated distance and LeakQ value.

PDQ Mode™ (ii910)

PDQ Mode™ captures data from a Partial Discharge (PD) that enables further analysis such as type of discharge and severity. The PD must be inside the circle on the display.
When a PD is detected, the PD Count value on the display gives an indication of the pulses generated by that partial discharge.
The value is based on the pulses of the acoustic interference generated by the PD:
Values for estimated DISTANCE show on the display.
or
NO TARGET FOUND shows on the display when no PD is detected inside the circle.
If the Imager cannot automatically determine the distance, this pop-up message shows on the display:
UNABLE TO ESTIMAT E DISTANCE
If the Imager is unable to determine the distance, or you want to override the estimated distance, you can input the distance manually. See LeakQ™ Mode.
Note
PD Count value is not directly related to the distance.
The Imager saves the still photo of the scene with overlapping sound image and values in .PNG or .JPG format. You can add notes, photo notes, or tags to the image. See Memory for more information.

W Caution
Do not place hand on or obstruct the acoustic sensor. Always use the sensor cover when the Product is not in use.
1. Remove the sensor cover before use.
2. Push and hold
3. Aim the Imager at the test area.
www.GlobalTestSupply.com
Ideal distance is 1 m to 8 m (3 ft to 26 ft). With good line-of-sight, >8 m to 21 m (>26 ft to 70 ft).
4. Select a band on the frequency spectrum on the right side of the display. See Table 4.
5. Change the width of the band by sliding the edges or move by sliding the middle of the band.
6. The optimum band depends on the environment and application. As an example for finding air or gas leaks, start with a band at 35 kHz and width that spans 5 kHz.
High frequency peaks within the selected band may be caused by sources other than a leak or partial discharge. In this case, move the band to another frequency range.
If a strong source of sound is off the field-of-view, the display shows a circular pattern (flower) of hot spots on the SoundMap. In this case, scan around for the source of sound.
