Taking A Look At Transducer Problems

Just like any other product, the transducer probes also develop problems that are brought about by many factors.

Common transducer problems

The common problems include:

Crack in the transducer housing: The housing can crack at any area. This problem comes about when you drop or hit the transducer.

Dried out lens: The transducer lenses are designed to be moist but it's common for them to dry out when you use the wrong disinfection. When your lenses have dried out it means that you have washed them with fluids containing alcohol. To fix the problem you should apply the proper gel.

Hole in the lens: You will have a hole in the lens when the lens has been hit with another object or has dropped on the floor. A telltale sign that your lens has a hole is a hole in your images. It's good to note that a hole in the lens can also be brought about by wear and tear of the wires. It's also common to have the same results when the wires have been cut with a sharp object. Before you run into conclusions you should first inspect the cables and lenses.

Lines in the image: Images resulting from the transducer cable will have lines when the cable has been run over by a cart system thus causing wear and tear. It's also common to have the same problem when the cable has been hit or exposed to pressure for a long time.

Taking care of the probes

To avoid the problems that come with the probes you should take good care of them. One of the things that you should do is to regularly inspect the probes. You should pay attention to the lens. For ideal results inspect the lens with a magnifying glass. All probes come with their recommendations for use and cleaning. For ideal results, you should follow these recommendations.

Experts recommend that you have the probes tested by a professional every six months. It's also recommended that you have the unit tested when you identify a problem. Most of the transducer problems come about when people and vehicles ran over the cables. To protect them you should keep the cables off the floor. When you aren't using the probes use probe holders to hold them in place.

Conclusion

Transducers are prone to a number of problems but with care, you can prevent them from happening. To reduce the instances of the probes developing problems you should buy high-quality probes from reputable stores.
