nl-ultrasonic-camera-pd-detection

NL Ultrasonic Camera can be used for PD detection, replacing some of the conventional methods. Also, for air leak detection, acoustic technologies are the only nonintrusive, noncontact means. In fact, NL Ultrasonic Camera is an intelligent imaging device by which you may locate sound sources. In other words, using NL Camera, you may localize and detect leaks in compressed air systems and partial discharges in high voltage electrical systems.

How to Use the NL Camera for PD Detection

The NL Ultrasonic Camera is a complete solution for detecting partial discharge. To emphasize, using the NL Camera requires minimal training due to its automated settings and intuitive user interface.

Firstly, turn on the NL Ultrasonic Camera by connecting the power supply. Make sure that red dots are aligned. Actually, a fully charge battery of NL Camera will last up to six hours. If you are using the NL Acoustic Camera PL001; firstly make sure that it is on partial discharge mode.

Detection Range

The detection range of NL Camera is up to 100 meters. And, for the most accurate results, NL Acoustics recommends a distance of 20 meters or less. Also, by switching to the multiple source mode; you can display several sound sources at the same time. However, displaying one source is usually enough. The NL Ultrasonic Camera analyzes the dominant sound source which is indicated by the small crosshairs on the screen.

Filters

Usually you don’t have to adjust the filter settings; but in some rare cases you might have issues with interfering noise. You can then try adjusting the filter settings to make certain sound sources clearer than others. Also, it is totally easy to take a snapshot using the NL Ultrasonic Camera. To take a snapshot, press the camera button and name your snapshot.

Moreover, to upload the snapshots to the NL Cloud, you need to enable the WiFi in the NL Camera settings. Equally important, the connected NL Ultrasonic Camera will automatically upload your snapshots to the NL Cloud. Furthermore, you may adjust screen brightness and zoom in or out with the camera.

Reflections

Sometimes, you might see sound sources in places where there shouldn’t be any. In fact, these sources are reflections or interference caused by another sound source. If the sound moves around, it is most likely a reflection or interference. But, if the source stays in one place when you move the NL Ultrasonic Camera; you have located an actual sound source.

Actually, reflections are not necessarily a problem. In contrast, they can be used to your advantage to reveal sound sources that are hidden behind other objects. The sound source may also be hidden inside an object appearing at a crack of the enclosed compartment.
