Information about the device
Device description
The device SL3000 is used to locate faulty components in
various systems. It is based on ultrasonic signals generated e.g.
due to friction on faulty parts, inside electrical installations or
when gases escape under high pressure.
The ultrasonic signals are detected by the device, converted into
audible sound, and output with the corresponding intensity
through the headphones. At the same time, the ultrasound level
is indicated graphically on a display.
