Sonus XT Ultrasonic Detector 7
The Sonus XT is used to detect ultrasound. Any use other than the designated use is prohibited and can result in personal
injury or damage to property. IRISS Inc. accepts no liability for damage, including damage to third parties, caused by
improper handling of the device.
Using the Sonus XT, faulty components can be localized in different systems and their potential risk for the process can
be assessed. It is based on ultrasonic signals which can be caused by friction on defective parts, for example.
Ultrasound can be created during a wide range of processes, including:
• at leaks in compressed air, steam and vacuum systems,
• during the operation of steam traps,
• at leaking valves, gates, barriers or taps in pipe systems,
• during the normal function of rolling bearings
• during cavitation caused by pumps and compressors, as well as
• in the event of arcing, tracking or corona discharges in electrical systems
The ultrasonic signals created during the specied processes are detected with the Sonus XT, converted into audible
sound and output in their intensity through the headphones. At the same time, the ultrasound level is reported on the
display.
