Alpine 9000 Warble Tone Generator UE-WTG-1, To Charge the Warble Tone Generator, Helpful Hints

WARBLE TONE GENERATOR (UE-WTG-1):

∙Turn Tone Generator on by selecting either "LOW" for a low amplitude signal (usually recommended for small containers) or "HIGH" for high amplitude. In high, the Warble Tone Generator will cover up to 4,000 cubic feet (121.9 cu. meters) of unobstructed space.

∙When the Tone Generator is on, a red light (located below the recharge jack in the front) flickers.

∙Place the Warble Tone Generator within the test item/container and seal or close it. Then scan the suspect areas with the TrisonicTM Scanning Module in the Ultraprobe and listen for where the "warble" ultrasound penetrates.

As an example, if the item to be tested is the seal around a window, place the Warble Tone Generator on one side of the window, close it and proceed to scan on the opposite side.

∙To test the condition of the Warble Tone Generator battery, set to the LOW INTENSITY position and listen to the sound through the Ultraprobe at 40 kHz. A continuous warbling sound should be heard. If a "beeping" is heard instead, then a full recharge of the Warble Tone Generator is indicated.

TO CHARGE THE WARBLE TONE GENERATOR:

∙Plug recharger cable into recharger jack on the Warble Tone Generator and then plug the recharger into a wall receptacle.

∙Make sure that the LED on the charger is lit when recharging.

∙The LED turns OFF when the battery is charged.
