1 Safety precautions
1.1 General safety precautions for the SONAPHONE M
(1) The SONAPHONE M is suitable for the use at temperatures
between -10 °C and +60 °C. Store the unit at temperatures between
-20 °C and +60 °C.
(2) Make sure that you have a clear view of the SONAPHONE M and
the probes at any time of operation. Never work with the probes or the
telescoping rod in areas with live parts or areas you do not know
exactly. When locating ultrasonic signals in electrical installations, keep
a sufficient safety distance to prevent electrical flashover.
(3) Always handle the probe for structure-borne noise with care, so that
the probe tip does not cause any injuries. Use the probe carrier bag on
the shoulder strap of the leather bag when carrying it outside the
carrying case or when the probe is not in use.
(4) Use the shoulder strap on stairs, ladders, platforms etc. so that you
have your hands free to brace yourself.
(5) Avoid using the SONAPHONE M in strong electromagnetic fields.
(6) The SONAPHONE M is a testing device.
(7) SONOTEC Ultraschallsensorik Halle GmbH offers no warranty for
damages, even for harm to third parties, caused by incorrect handling of
the device.
(8) The SONAPHONE M, the probes and all accessories have a robust
casing. However, they must be protected from mechanical damage and
sharp impacts. Do not use cleansers containing solvents.

3 Function description
3.1 General information
Ultrasound is generated due to friction caused by the flow of gases,
liquids and solids in pipes and leakages. These ultrasonic signals are
recorded by the SONAPHONE M, their intensity is shown on the display
screen and made audible through speakers or headphones. As an
option, surface temperatures can be measured with a temperature
sensor. The recorded data can be stored and transmitted to a personal
computer using the integrated USB interface. Ultrasound can be
generated in a wide variety of processes, for example:
• at leaks in compressed air-, steam- and vacuum systems
• at steam traps
• at leaky valves, gate valves, shut-offs and valves in piping
• from roller bearing damages
• from cavitation at pumps and compressors
• from flashovers and corona discharges on electrical installations
Using the SONAPHONE M, it is possible to locate precisely the defects
and estimate their magnitude. The ultrasonic transmitter
SONAPHONE T can be used to detect leaks in vehicles, freight
containers, other types of containers and ventilation technique systems
where no ultrasound is generated. The SONAPHONE T (optional)
generates ultrasonic waves which emerge at the leaks. Precise location
is carried out from the outside with the SONAPHONE M.
The SONAPHONE M tester is a mobile hand-held and battery-supplied
unit. Various probes, which are connected directly or via a cable to the
tester, serve to detect the ultrasound. The type of probe is automatically
recognised by the SONAPHONE M by means of a probe code. A
temperature sensor (optional; type K thermocouple, NiCr-Ni) with a
circular plug-in connector is used for temperature readings. It can be
extended at any time using a corresponding extension cable.

4 Operation
4.1 Insert the batteries
Safety notes
For operating the SONAPHONE M LR6 batteries with a
nominal voltage of 1,5 V are used.
When opening the battery compartment lid, do not have the
device connected to a PC through a USB cable.
When inserting the batteries, make sure the polarity
corresponds to the engraved marking on the battery block.
Follow the instructions below!
Instructions Description of the battery change
1. Disconnect the shoulder strap from the battery compartment lid.
2. Turn back the locking screw of the battery compartment all the
way until it stops. The battery block will move in the same
direction as the locking screw. It is important to hold the battery
block and the device firmly.
OM_SPHM_engl_Vers.1_2011-09-26 Seite 10
3. Press down the battery compartment and pull it out of the unit
4. Take the batteries out of the battery block.
5. Insert new batteries into the block, checking that the polarity is
correct. An engraving on the top of the battery block illustrates
the correct arrangement of the batteries.
