Using ultrasound to detect vehicle malfunctions
The OmiSonic is a great addition to any garage because it allows a technician to hear sounds from a vehicle that otherwise would be inaudible. This is a great way to identify engine air leaks, water leaks, and faulty seals because the tool can non intrusively and non destructively reach difficult areas in a vehicle.
Using high frequency ultrasound, the technician can detect leaks by hearing them through the headphones, or see them on the LED display.
For non-pressurised leaks or enclosures, which do not create ultrasound, then the OmiSonic transmitter can generate ultrasound to help find the leak.
It is also an invaluable tool for identifying both mechanical and electrical malfunctions. The OmiSonic can be used to perform condition monitoring and preventative maintenance, giving your garage that additional advantage.
Applications:
Leak detection:
- Door and window seals - Hydraulic systems - Intake manifold systems - Vacuum systems - Exhaust systems - Cooling systems - Tyres
Mechanical malfunctions:
- Fuel injectors - Bearings - Valves - Shafts - Motors - Gears - Compressors - Pumps
Electrical problems:
- Ignition coil packs - Stepper motors - Injectors - Relays
Supplied in a carry case with receiver handset, transmitter, headphones and probes.
It really is difficult to describe in just words what an invaluable tool the OmiSonic is, so please watch our product demo video on the Downloads tab to see in action just how vital this tool will be to your garage.
OmiSonic Automotive Kit contents:
Bandwith and Gain buttons allow you to adjust the Omisonic's sensitivity (picking up faint ultrasounds), discrimination (identify different component operating conditions) and selectivity (separate audible signals and reduce noise)
Three different ultrasounds generated to text for air, gas and fluid; Warble, Chirp or Constant
Uses a unique filtering technology to block out competing sounds so you can clearly hear only the one you're investigating, even when vehicle components are within close proximity or in extremely noisy environments.
Enables you to recognize even subtle anomalies in ultrasonic signatures as worn parts, bad connections, low insulating levels, poor lubrication or some other form of component malfunction or failure.
Even test non-pressurized containers and cavities for leaks, using the system's ultrasound transmitter to fill them with ultrasound.
Simple, intuitive controls to adjust sensitivity and sound volume heard through headset.
No calibration and no special maintenance required.
Selection of probe attachments to focus the area of reception and provide easy access to difficult-to-reach locations.
Both ultrasound receiver and transmitter are housed in
LED display demonstrates intensity of ultrasound detected, the type of ultrasound and the battery status
Power from 9v alkaline battery
One year standard warranty
No need for servicing or recalibration
Detects ultrasound within a narrow frequency band centred at 40,000hertz
Follows ultrasound to its source using directional reception
Modes of operation:
Included in the manual are instructions on how to diagnose specific vehicle components such as bearings, vacuum systems, valves and fuel injectors, COP ignition systems etc
