Battery Installation
The following instructions describe how to install/replace batteries in the Tru Pointe
® 
1100.
1. 
Turn the unit over so the controls are facing the fl oor.
2. 
Apply minimal pressure to the battery compartment panel and slide it toward the 
bottom of the instrument.
3. 
Install/Replace a 9v battery, noting the (+) and (-) positions on the inner label.
Turning the Instrument On/Off
1. 
Plug the headphones into the jack on the right side of the instrument
2. 
Press the On/Off Button once to turn the unit on.
3. 
Press the On/Off Button again to turn the unit off.
NOTE:  If the unit is in “AIR” mode, translated ultrasound 
can be heard immediately.  If the unit is in “PROB” mode, 
the Touch Probe must be in contact with the item being 
tested to translate the ultrasound.
Airborne Leak Detection
Use the Airborne Sensor for detecting pressurized gas leaks, vacuum leaks, or when using the 
SoundBlaster
®
. Leaks must be turbulent to be detected ultrasonically.
Using the Tru Pointe
®
 1100:
1. 
Insert the headset plug into the jack on the side of the instrument.
2. 
Push the Power Button once.
3. 
Push the Mode Select Button until the alphanumeric display reads “AIR”, then 
press ▲ or ▼ to activate it.  Once activated, the current sensitivity setting (0 to 
255) will be displayed and translated ultrasound will be heard.  The Bar Graph 
Display will display the strength of the corresponding signal.  The highest LED will 
hold its place for 5 seconds before resetting its position.
4. 
The instrument always resets itself so that sensitivity is the active mode. Pressing 
the  or  buttons will adjust sensitivity up or down.  If the LED Bar Graph Dis-
play is at maximum, reduce the sensitivity by pressing  until it reads “5” or less, 
and continue searching for the leak.  Pointing the Tru Pointe
®
 1100 away from the 
leak will cause the bar graph level to drop. Pointing the detector toward, or getting 
closer to the leak, will cause the bar graph level to increase.  Any deviation from 
the direction of the leak will cause the LEDs to drop below the Peak Hold level.  
Moving closer to the leak will cause Peak value to reset. The highest Peak value 
will indicate the strongest leak point.
