Electronic Stethoscope ES – 801

A Practical maintenance aid from MCM

The need to eavesdrop on mechanical sounds within machinery is essential in any maintenance department. Mechanical faults can often be heard. The problem is to locate the sound source quickly and accurately in a generally noisy environment.

The electronic stethoscope is a sensitive listening stick, for location of all kinds of machinery noise. Valve chatter, tappet noise, piston slap, gear and pump noise and the operation of relays and solenoids are just a few of the many noises that may be traced, amplified and assessed with this device.

To install the battery: Open the cover from battery compartment.  Install a 9V battery (Alkaline) and replace the cover. A battery should last for about 27 hours of normal operation.

Store the stethoscope at normal room temperature. Remove the battery before storing the instrument for a long period of time. Battery leakage can destroy it.

The probe tip should be attached by hand. Do not use tools
